Role of upper ocean parameters in the genesis, intensification and tracks of cyclones over the Bay of Bengal
(Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology, 2015)It is well known that the frequency of cyclones is about four times higher over the Bay of Bengal when compared with the Arabian Sea. Most of the severe cyclones during pre-monsoon (April and May) and post-monsoon (October ... -
Heavy metals pollution influence the community structure of Cyanobacteria in nutrient rich tropical estuary
(OMICS International, 2015)Anthropogenic inputs influence the community structure and activities of microorganisms, which may impinge the functioning of estuarine and coastal ecosystem. The aim of the present study was to understand the influence ... -
Fluxes of dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen to the northern Indian Ocean from the Indian monsoonal rivers
(American Geophysical Union, 2015)Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) were measured in 27 major and medium monsoonal estuaries along the Indian coast during southwest monsoon in order to understand the spatial variability in their concentrations ... -
Boninitic metavolcanic rocks and island arc tholeiites from the Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) of Singhbhum Craton, eastern India: Geochemical evidence for Archean subduction processes
(Elsevier, 2015)The metavolcanic rocks of the Paleo-Mesoarchean Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) from Jagannathpur area of the Singhbhum Craton occur as enclaves within the Singhbhum granites (SBG). The primary mineralogical composition of ... -
Asymmetric cell division and its role in cell fate determination in the green alga Tetraselmis indica
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2015)The prasinophytes (early diverging Chlorophyta), consisting of simple unicellular green algae, occupy a critical position at the base of the green algal tree of life, with some of its representatives viewed as the cell ... -
Use of marine robot`MAYA` for monitoring the Zuari and Mandovi esturine systems
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 2015)Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) are gaining popularity among oceanographic, meteorological and defense research organizations (Motwani, 2012). The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, MAYA designed and built at CSIR-NIO (Desa, ... -
Maritime trade contacts of Odisha, east coast of India with the Roman world: An appraisal
(Manohar publishers, New Delhi; India, 2015)The present state of Odisha (previously known as Kalinga, Utkal,Odra and Orissa) lies on the east coast of India, and is known forits maritime contacts with the Roman world since the early histori-cal period, if not earlier. ... -
Environmental isotopes to test hypotheses for fluid mud (mud bank) generation mechanisms along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)Occurrence of fluid mud (mud banks) in the southwest coast of India is an enigma for the scientific community. Over the years, several multi-disciplinary studies were conducted and various hypotheses were postulated on the ... -
Relationship between the lability of sediment-bound Cd and its bioaccumulation in edible oyster.
(Elsevier, 2015)A linkage between Cd speciation in sediments and its bioaccumulation in edible oyster (Crassostrea sp.) from a tropical estuarine system was established. Bioaccumulation of Cd in edible oyster increased with the increasing ... -
Top down control of post-upwelling waters off Trivandrum: Indications from variability in DMS(P)
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)Coastal upwelling is known to bring nutrient rich bottom waters to the surface. This change in chemistry triggers a series of cascading effects on the trophic levels of coastal ecosystems. Phytoplankton, besides being ... -
Oxidative stress tolerance in intertidal red seaweed Hypnea musciformis (Wulfen) in relation to environmental components
(Springer, 2015)Oxidative stress parameters in relation to temperature and other factors have been analysed in Hypnea musciformis, the red seaweed from Anjuna beach, Goa, with an aim to understand its susceptibility to the changing seasons. ... -
Marine aggregates and transparent exopolymeric particles (TEPs) as substrates for the stramenopilan fungi, the thraustochytrids: Roller table experimental approach.
(Mycological Society of India, 2012)In order to understand the kind of organic substrates utilized by thraustochytrids in the coastal water column, their growth in the presence of Transparent Exopolymeric Substances (TEPS) and aggregates generated in roller ... -
