Seasonal stratification and property distributions in a tropical estuary (Cochin estuary, west coast, India)
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
The intratidal, spring–neap and seasonal variations in stratification were examined in the Cochin estuary. The observations established a strong connection with the distribution of chemical and biological properties. The ...
Image analysis of seafloor photographs for estimation of deep-sea minerals
(Springer, 2010)
Factors such as non-uniform illumination of seafloor photographs and partial burial of polymetallic nodules and crusts under sediments have prevented the development of a fully automatic system for evaluating the distribution ...
Decline in biodiversity of copepods in coastal waters of Mumbai
(MEDCOAST, 2013)
Coastal waters of metropolitan cities face severe ecological threat due to sewage discharge and effluents from the industries. Copepods being the most abundant component in zooplankton some species can act as signals of ...
Robust Projected Weakening of Winter Monsoon Winds Over the Arabian Sea Under Climate Change
(Wiley, 2017)
The response of the Indian winter monsoon to climate change has received considerably less attention than that of the summer monsoon. We show here that all Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models display ...
Genesis of early Cambrian phosphorite of Krol Belt, Lesser Himalaya
(Current Science Association, 2015)
Early Cambrian phosphogenesis in the lesser Himalaya is represented by a well-developed sequence of phosphorite, black shale and black chert with interbedded phosphatic dolomite in the Krol Belt. Prevalence of shallow ...
New species of Paracalanidae along the west coast of India: Paracalanus arabiensis
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
A new species of copepod, Paracalanus arabiensis sp. nov. collected from Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, central west coast of India, is described. It differs from its congeners mainly in the structure of leg 5, with a ...
Metabolism of DMSP, DMS and DMSO by the cultivable bacterial community associated with the DMSP-producing dinoflagellate Scrippsiella trochoidea
(Springer, 2012)
Bacterial species associated with the dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)-producing phytoplankton Scrippsiella trochoidea were cultured and identified, with the aim of establishing their ability to metabolise DMSP, dimethylsulfide ...
Manganese cycling and its implication on methane related processes in the Andaman continental slope sediments
(Elsevier, 2014)
In the deep subsurface sediments of the Andaman continental slope, in situ methane generation/oxidation could be coupled to the cycling of Mn, as the fluid flow characterized by high methane and Mn could occur in accretionary ...
Reevaluation of design waves off the western Indian coast considering climate change
(Marine Technology Society, 2016)
Knowledge of design waves with long return periods forms an essential input to many engineering applications, including structural design and analysis. Such extreme or long-term waves are conventionally evaluated using ...
Diversity and bioactive potentials of culturable heterotrophic bacteria from the surficial sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2016)
Marine sediments accommodate plethora of diverse microorganisms with varying ecological functions. In the present study, we isolated bacteria from surficial sediments of south east Arabian Sea (AS) and evaluated their ...
