The Indian coastline: Processes and landforms.
(Springer, 2014)The nearly 7,500 km long coastline of India is remarkably varied and dynamic and displays diverse rock-based, sediment-based and coral-based landforms. Coastal processes along the Indian coasts are controlled largely by ... -
Chaetognath community and their responses to varying environmental factors in the northern Indian ocean.
(Oxford University Press, 2014)The ecology of the chaetognath community and its relation to varying environmental factors were studied in the eastern half of the northern Indian Ocean. Analysis of data from two major oceanographic programmes performed ... -
Effect of oil spillage on ecological diversity of pneumatophore associated fauna and flora in central west coast of india
(Academy of Environmental Biology, 2012)Pneumatophores of Avicennia alba is rich in flora (diatoms) and faunal (meiofauna) diversity from the sedimentary environment Flora and faunal composition from two sites: One polluted (Dighodi) and other non-polluted (Goa) ... -
Effect of temperature and salinity on stable isotopic composition of shallow water benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture study
(Bengaluru: Geological Society of India, 2013)Quantitative estimation of past climatic parameters from stable isotopic composition of foraminifera relies on estimating the precise relationship between stable isotopic composition of the species analyzed and the ... -
Construction and screening of 2-aryl benzimidazole library identifies a new antifouling and antifungal agent.
(RSC, 2014)Biofouling is the undesirable growth of organisms on artificial and natural structures immersed in either seawater or freshwater. It causes huge economic loss and also the global prohibition on known antifouling agents has ... -
Insights into the structural and functional aspects of rela by molecular modeling and docking calculations.
(IJPPS publishes, 2014)RelA (ppGpp synthetase I) has been reported as an excellent drug target due to its correlation with virulence induction in bacteria. The aim of present investigation is to provide a deeper understanding of the structural ... -
Monitoring of ocean surface algal blooms in coastal and oceanic waters around India.
(Springer, 2014)The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) sensor MODIS-Aqua provides an important tool for reliable observations of the changing ocean surface algal bloom paradigms in coastal and oceanic waters around ... -
Two decades of Indian research on Ninetyeast Ridge reveal how seafloor spreading and mantle plume activities have shaped the eastern Indian Ocean.
(Current Science Association, 2014)It is widely accepted that the Ninetyeast Ridge ridge is a product of volcanic trace of the Kerguelen mantle plume (hot spot) on the northward-drifting Indian plate between ~85 and 42 Ma. Studies carried out from the early ... -
Bathymetric preference of four major genera of rectilinear benthic foraminifera within oxygen minimum zone in Arabian Sea off central west coast of India.
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2014)Fifty two surface sediment samples collected from the region off Goa, central west coast of India from water depths of 15–3300 m were analyzed with special emphasis on foraminiferal content. Rectilinear benthic foraminiferal ... -
Evaluation of single and joint effect of metabolites isolated from marine sponges, Fasciospongia cavernosa and Axinella donnani on antimicrobial properties.
(Elsevier, 2014)The biochemical mechanisms that marine sponges have developed as a chemical defense to protect themselves against micro and subsequent macrobiofouling process might comprise a potential alternative for the preventing attack ... -
Design and synthesis of marine natural product-based 1H-indole-2,3-dione scaffold as a new antifouling/antibacterial agent against fouling bacteria.
(Elsevier, 2014)Marine organisms such as seaweeds, sponges and corals protect their own surfaces from fouling by their high anesthetic, repellant, and settlement inhibition properties. Within the marine ecosystem, evolution has allowed ... -
Diseases of corals with particular reference to Indian reefs
(India: IUCN, 2012)Diseases are one of the factors that change the structure and functioning of coral-reef communities as they cause irreversible damage to the corals Reports on coral diseases describe the etiological agents responsible for ... -
Temporal variations in the wind and wave climate at a location in the eastern Arabian Sea based on ERA-Interim reanalysis data.
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)Temporal variations in wind speed and significant wave height (SWH) at a location in the eastern Arabian Sea are studied using ERA-Interim reanalysis data from 1979 to 2012. A shallow water location is selected for the ... -
Spatiotemporal distribution in phytoplankton community with distinct salinity regimes along the Mandovi estuary, Goa, India.
(Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2014)Seasonal variations in the composition and abundance of phytoplankton were investigated fortnightly at 3 different regions along the Mandovi estuary from June 2007 to May 2008 in relation to salinity and nutrients. A total ... -
Abrupt climate-induced changes in carbonate burial in the Arabian Sea: Causes and consequences.
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)We present high-resolution records of aragonite contents and pteropods abundance in two sediment cores (SK 17 and MD 76–131) within the Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) of the eastern Arabian Sea. We show large increases in ... -
Marine and semi-synthetic hydroxysteroids as new scaffolds for pregnane x receptor modulation.
(MDPI Publishing, 2014)In recent years many sterols with unusual structures and promising biological profiles have been identified from marine sources. Here we report the isolation of a series of 24-alkylated-hydroxysteroids from the soft coral ... -
Multi-hazards coastal vulnerability assessment of Goa, India, using geospatial techniques.
(Elsevier, 2014)The state of Goa in West India has a 105 km long coastline with beaches and cultural heritage sites of significant importance to tourism. The increasing incidence of tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea in recent decades ... -
Spectral wave characteristics off Gangavaram, Bay of Bengal.
(Springer, 2014)Spectral wave characteristics were studied based on waves measured for 1 year during 2010 off Gangavaram, Bay of Bengal. Maximum wave height of 5.2 m was observed on 19 May 2010 due to the influence of cyclonic storm LAILA. ... -
