Iron ore pollution in Mandovi and Zuari estuarine sediments and its fate after mining ban
(Springer, 2015)Iron ore was mined from the banded iron formations of Goa, India, and transported through the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries for six decades until the ban on mining from September 2012. Here we focus on the environmental ... -
Characteristics of shallow water waves off the central west coast of India before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2015)We studied the wave characteristics before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon based on data measured using the buoy moored at 3 locations off the central west coast of India. The study reveals the ... -
Decadal shoreline assessment using remote sensing along the central Odisha coast, India
(Springer, 2015)One of the major requirements of planning coastal protection works is to understand the processes of erosion, deposition, sediment transport, flooding and sea level changes which continuously alter the shoreline. Significant ... -
Decadal changes in shoreline patterns in Sundarbans, India
(Jounal of coastal sciences, 2015)Sundarbans is one of the most populated and largest deltas in the world and is located at the mouth of three major rivers- Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna that empty into the Bay of Bengal along the east coast of India. The ... -
Residual fluxes of water and nutrient transport through the main inlet of a tropical estuary, Cochin estuary, West Coast, India
(Springer, 2015)25-hour time series measurements of vertical salinity profiles and currents in Zuari estuary were done during both spring and neap tidal cycles of pre-monsoon (April–May), south-west monsoon (June–September) and post-monsoon ... -
Observed variations in stratification and currents in the Zuari estuary, west coast of India
(Springer, 2015)25-hour time series measurements of vertical salinity profiles and currents in Zuari estuary were done during both spring and neap tidal cycles of pre-monsoon (April–May), south-west monsoon (June–September) and post-monsoon ... -
Transformation of triphenyltin by Eubacteria: Fate and effects in environmental system
(Springer, 2015)Organotins such as triphenyltin (TPT) form an important group of bio-environmental tin-substituted aromatic contaminants used in various industries. Anthropogenic activities have led to an increase in TPT concentrations ... -
Arene ruthenium(II) complexes with 2-acetamidothiazole derived ligands: Synthesis, structural studies, antifouling and antibacterial properties
(Elsevier, 2015)Four related arene ruthenium(II) complexes with antifouling properties of the general formula [(n<sup>6</sup> -arene)Ru(L)Cl<sub>2</sub>] have been prepared by the reaction of [(n<sup>6</sup> -arene)RuCl<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub> ... -
Baltic cyanobacteria- A source of biologically active compounds
(British Phycological Society, 2015)Cyanobacteria are effective producers of bioactive metabolites, including both acute toxins and potential pharmaceuticals. In the current work, the biological activity of 27 strains of Baltic cyanobacteria representing ... -
Influence of salinity on the life table demography of a rare Cladocera Latonopsis australis
(Springer, 2015)Latonopsis australis is a rare Cladocera inhabiting the entire stretch of the Cochin backwaters, the largest monsoonal estuary along the West Coast of India, during the summer monsoon, but restricted to the upper reaches ... -
Trends of wave height and period in the Central Arabian Sea from 1996 to 2012: A study based on satellite altimeter data
(Elsevier, 2015)The variability of annual maximum and annual mean significant wave height (SWH) and wave period in the Central Arabian Sea is studied using satellite altimeter data from 1996 to 2012 at a deep water (water depth~3500 m) ... -
Classification of tidal inlets along the Central east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)Coastal inlets are the openings along the coastline that provide a linkage between the open ocean and the hinterland water bodies. These coastal inlets are varied in nature depending on many influencing parameters such as ... -
Classification of tidal inlets along the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)Tidal inlets along the Maharashtra coast on the central west coast of India were classified according to three methods available in the literature. Two classification methods viz., (i) Hydrodynamic classification (Hayes, ... -
Time series monitoring of water quality and microalgal diversity in a tropical bay under intense anthropogenic interference (SW coast of the Bay of Bengal, India)
(Elsevier, 2015)In recent decades, material fluxes to coastal waters from various land based anthropogenic activities have signifi- cantly been enhanced around the globe which can considerably impact the coastal water quality and ecosystem ... -
Marinobacter nitratireducens sp. nov., a halophilic and lipolytic bacterium isolated from coastal surface sea water
(International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2015)A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain AK21<sup>T</sup> , was isolated from coastal surface sea water at Visakhapatnam, India. The strain was positive for oxidase, catalase, lipase, ... -
Response of bacterioplankton to iron fertilization of the Southern Ocean, Antarctica
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015)Ocean iron fertilization is an approach to increase CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration. The Indo-German iron fertilization experiment “LOHAFEX” was carried out in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica in 2009 to monitor ... -
Influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on the water quality of the coastal waters around the South Andaman in the Bay of Bengal
