Fluctuations of Mediterranean outflow water circulation in the Gulf of Cadiz during MIS 5 to 7: Evidence from benthic foraminiferal assemblage and stable isotope records
(Elsevier, 2015)We studied variations in benthic foraminiferal assemblages and δ<sup>13</sup>C for the last 225 kyr at IODP site U1387 which is currently bathed by upper core of the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW). The MOW paleocirculation ... -
Cell volumes of marine phytoplankton from globally distributed coastal data sets
(Elsevier, 2015)Globally there are numerous long-term time series measuring phytoplanton abundance. With appropriate conversion factors, numerical species abundance can be expressed as biovolume and then converted to phytoplankton carbon. ... -
Response of bacteria and phytoplankton from a subtropical front location Southern Ocean to micronutrient amendments ex-situ
(Elsevier, 2015)The effects of micronutrient amendments such as cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and their mixture (Co+Cu+Fe) on bacterial abundance, phytoplankton, bacterial community (BC) composition were examined at a subtropical ... -
Infection and pathogenecity of Myroides odoratimimus (NIOCR-12) isolated from the gut of grey mullet (Mugil cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758))
(Elsevier, 2015)Myroides sp. are gram negative aerobes and known for its oppurtunistic pathogenicity in humans. In the present study, Myroides odoratimimus isolated from the gut of Mugil cephalus showed potential infectivity to the ... -
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 ... -
Deep sea drilling in the Arabian Sea: Constraining tectonic-monsoon interactions in South Asia (Report)
(International Ocean Discovery Program, 2015)The Indian (southwest) summer monsoon is one of the most intense climatic phenomena on Earth. Its long-term development has been linked to the growth of high topography in South and Central Asia. The Indian continental ... -
Estimation of air-sea CO2 flux in the coastal waters of Visakhapatnam
(Springer, 2015)Observations were conducted in a time series mode off Visakhapatnam in Bay of Bengal, for a period of 10 days from 8 to 19th February 2013 to examine the short-term atmospheric events on chemical processes in the upper 100 ... -
Complex interplay of physical forcing and Prochlorococcus population in ocean
(Elsevier, 2015)Physical forcing can replenish nutrients within the mixed layer by convective mixing or via upwelling. Conventional wisdom holds this enrichment fuels phytoplankton growth, for example ventilation of subsurface water during ... -
Projected impact of climate change on waves at Mumbai High
(Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015)Structures built in the sea are traditionally designed according to historical climate observations or hindcasts. In geographical locations typical of India, such designs do not take the effect of future climate change ... -
Spatial and temporal variations of wave height in shelf seas around India
(Springer, 2015)The spatial and temporal variations of wave height in shelf seas around Indian mainland are examined based on the ERA-Interim dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The study shows that ... -
Response of polar front phytoplankton and bacterial community to micronutrient amendments
(Elsevier, 2015)In a shipboard microcosm experiment we manipulated cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and Fe+Co availability in surface water samples collected during austral summer of 2013 from a Polar front (PF) location in the Indian ... -
Sea state observation in island-sheltered nearshore zone based on in situ intermediate-water wave measurements and NCEP/CFSR wind data
(Springer, 2015)In this study, wind-seas, swells, and the coastal wind pattern are examined to interpret the temporal diversity of the sea state in the island-sheltered nearshore zone off Karwar on the west coast of India. The sea state ... -
Lead distribution in coastal and estuarine sediments around India
(Elsevier, 2015)This study describes the geochemical distribution of lead (Pb) and identifies the critical factors that significantly control Pb distribution and speciation in coastal and estuarine sediments around India by using published ... -
Impact of river discharge on the coastal water pH and pCO<sub>2</sub> levels during the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) years in the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2015)Monthly variations in inorganic carbon components during January 2010–December 2011 in the coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB) were studied in relation to the variations in Godavari River (GR) discharge using ship board measurements, ... -
Inter-annual sea level variability in the southern South China Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)The South China Sea (SCS) is the largest marginal sea in the western Pacific Basin. Sea level anomalies (SLAs) in the southern South China Sea (SSCS) are assumed to be governed by various phenomena associated with the ... -

An appraisal of biological responses and network of environmental interactions in non-mining and mining impacted coastal waters
(Springer, 2015)The coastal waters of Goa and Ratnagiri lying on the West coast of India are influenced by terrestrial influx. However, Goa is influenced anthropogenically by iron-ore mining, while Ratnagiri is influenced by deposition ... -
Khalkattapatna port: The lost archaeological heritage of Odisha, east coast of India
(Current Science Association, 2015)The history of Odisha, lying on the east coast of India, is well documented from the Stone Age onwards. The evidences suggest that the ports of Odisha had contacts with the Arabs, Mediterranean countries and South Asia, ... -
Seasonal variations in abundance, biomass and grazing rates of microzooplankton in a tropical monsoonal estuary
(Springer, 2015)Seasonal abundance, composition and grazing rates of microzooplankton (20–200 µm) in the Zuari estuary were investigated to evaluate their importance in food web dynamics of a tropical monsoonal estuary. Average abundances ... -
