Status and review of health of Indian coral reefs
(Department of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries University of Kerala, 2015)
Status of reef health incorporating species-wise cover of scleractinians has been reported covering 61 stations in 29 reef locations of the four major reef regions in India as of March 2011, alongside a review of available ...
Modulation of equatorial Pacific westerly/easterly wind events by the Madden-Julian oscillation and convectively-coupled Rossby waves
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016)
Synoptic wind events in the equatorial Pacific strongly influence the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) evolution. This paper characterizes the spatio-temporal distribution of Easterly (EWEs) and Westerly Wind Events ...
Longshore sediment transport in the surf zone based on different formulae: A case study along the central west coast of India
(Springer, 2017)
Understanding longshore sediment transport (LST) is a prerequisite for designing an effective coastal zone management strategy. The present study estimates the LST along the central west coast of India based on four bulk ...
Impact of maintenance dredging on macrobenthic community structure of a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2017)
This paper demonstrates the impact of maintenance dredging activities on the macrobenthic community structure of a tropical monsoonal estuary (Cochin estuary), located in the southwest coast of India for three consecutive ...
Microplastic pollution: A serious threat to the marine ecosystem
(Indian Coast Guard, 2017)
Discovery of a new subclass of alpha-conotoxins in the venom of Conus australis
(Elsevier, 2014)
Cone snails (Conus sp.) are poisonous animals that can be found in all oceans where they developed a venomous strategy to prey or to defend. The venom of these species contains an undeniable source of unique and potent ...
Noctiluca and copepods grazing on the phytoplankton community in a nutrient-enriched coastal environment along the southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2017)
The relative grazing impact of Noctiluca scintillans (hereafter referred only Noctiluca) and copepods (Acrocalanus gracilis, Paracalanus parvus, Acartia danae and Oithona similis) on the phytoplankton community in an ...
Role of heavy metals in structuring the microbial community associated with particulate matter in a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2017)
Particulate matter (PM), which are chemically and biochemically complicated particles, accommodate a plethora of microorganisms. In the present study, we report the influence of heavy metal pollution on the abundance and ...
Influence of upwelling induced near shore hypoxia on the Alappuzha mud banks, South West Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
The results of the first time-series measurements spanning 18-weeks (22 April to 20 September 2014) from a coastal environment (Alappuzha, southwest India), where two process of upwelling and mud banks are concurrent during ...
Characteristics of eigen-system for flexural gravity wave problems
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
For a class of boundary value problems associated with flexural gravity waves, characteristics of the eigen-system are analysed which are used to study the convergence of the expansion formulae in both cases of single and ...
