Land-cover change in Goa– An Integrated RS – GIS Approach
(Geoinformatics International, 2013)
Goa, with its’ scenic beauty of sandy beaches, large population with relatively low human development index, forms a part of the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. The advent of tourism, enhanced mining activities, and ...
Deglaciation in the tropical Indian Ocean driven by interplay between the regional monsoon and global teleconnections
(Elsevier, 2013)
High resolution climate records of the ice age terminations from monsoon-dominated regions reveal the interplay of regional and global driving forces. Speleothem records from Chinese caves indicate that glacial terminations ...
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 ...
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 ...
Settlement and recruitment of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite from a tropical environment influenced by monsoons
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2013)
Studies on the settlement and the subsequent recruitment of intertidal organisms are crucial steps in understanding their population structure in a particular bioregion. However, studying the recruitment of intertidal ...
Variation of paleo-productivity and terrigenous input in the eastern Arabian Sea during the past 100 ka
(Geological Society of India, 2013)
A 4.1m long sediment core from the eastern Arabian Sea is studied using multiple geochemical proxies to understand the variation of productivity and terrigenous matter supply during the past 100 ka. The temporal variation ...
Benthic foraminifera
(Elsevier, 2013)
Benthic foraminifera are protozoa, which evolved during Cambrian and at present are found living in all possible marine environments. Their single cell is enclosed in a microscopic calcareous or agglutinated shell called ...
Suspended sediment concentration profiles from synoptic satellite observations
(IEEE, 2013)
A method is developed to estimate vertical suspended sediment concentration (SSC) profiles in Gulf of Kachchh, from the sediment concentration values derived from synoptic observations of Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM). Under ...
PCR screening for the surfactin (sfp) gene in marine Bacillus strains and its molecular characterization from Bacillus tequilensis NIOS11
(The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2013)
The sfp gene responsible for surfactin production was screened from the DNA extracts of 37 Bacillus spp. whose identity was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. PCR screening revealed amplification of sfp gene ...
The origin of ferro-manganese oxide coated pumice from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 2013)
Pumice clasts, partially and fully coated with ferro-manganese oxide from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were analysed for major, trace and rare earth elements; and glass and mineral grain chemistry to assess their ...
