A baseline study of trace metals in a coral reef sedimentary environment, Lakshadweep Archipelago
Gopinath, A.; Nair, S.M.; Kumar, N.C.; Jayalakshmy, K.V.; Pamalal, D. (Springer, 2010)Surficial and core samples collected from the sedimentary microenvironments of Lakshadweep Archipelago were analysed for their trace metal contents. The synoptical relations in spatial distributions with respect to ... -
A predictive regression model for the geochemical variability of iron and manganese in a coral reef ecosystem
Gopinath, A.; Kumar, N.C.; Jayalakshmy, K.V.; Padmalal, D.; Nair, S.M. (Taylor and Francis, 2005)This article focuses on the influence of nutrient forms (nitrogen/phosphorous forms) and parameters like pH and organic carbon in the distributional characteristics of two important trace metals, viz. iron and manganese, ... -
Assessment of water quality of a river-dominated estuary with hydrochemical parameters: A statistical approach.
Padma, P.; Sheela, V.S.; Suryakumari, S.; Jayalakshmy, K.V.; Nair, S.M.; Kumar, N.C. (Springer, 2014)This study was aimed (1) to evaluate the water quality of Chalakudy river, the fifth longest (145.5 km) river of Kerala (South India), by assessing the general hydrochemical parameters like temperature, dissolved oxygen ... -
Monitoring of heavy metal partitioning in reef corals of Lakshadweep Archipelago, Indian Ocean
Anu, G.; Kumar, N.C.; Jayalakshmy, K.V.; Nair, S.M. (Springer, 2007)This paper focuses on the partitioning of trace metals in five selected coral species from Lakshadweep Archipelago, which remains as one of the least studied areas in the Indian Ocean. Based on the morphological features, ... -
Spatial distribution of meteorological parameters around 900 hPa level over the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean regions during the IFP-99 of the INDOEX programme as revealed from the constant altitude balloon experiments conducted from Goa
Appu, K.S.; Nair, S.M.; Kunhikrishnan, P.K.; Moorthy, K.K.; Sarode, P.R.; Rao, L.V.G.; Bajpai, S.R.; Prakash, L.H.; Viswanathan, G.; Mitra, A.P.; Sadourny, R.; Basdevant, C.; Ethe, C.; Ovarlez, H.; Chapuis, R.; Dartiguelongue, B.; Vianeys, P. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)During the IFP-99 of the INDOEX programme, an Indo-French joint scientific team conducted 17 constant balloon flights from Goa (India) mainly to study the various features features of the continental air mass flow from the ... -
Toxic metals enrichment in the surficial sediments of a eutrophic tropical estuary (Cochin Backwaters, Southwest coast of India)
Martin, G.D.; Rejomon G.; Shaiju, P.; Muraleedharan, K.R.; Nair, S.M.; Chandramohanakumar, N. (The Scientific World Journal, 2012)Concentrations and distributions of trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in surficial sediments of the Cochin backwaters were studied during both monsoon and pre-monsoon periods. Spatial variations were ... -
Trace metal dynamics in marine shrimps from the southwest coast of India
Rejomon, G.; Hsu, S-H; Nair, S.M.; Martin, G.D.; Nair, K.K.C. (Taylor & Francis, 2011)Concentrations of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in the muscle tissue of marine shrimps, Penaeus mondon, Penaeus japonicus, Penaeus indicus, Penaeus mergniensis, Parapenaeopsis hardwickii and Parapenaeopsis stylifera, ...
