Dynamics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface sediments of Cochin estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) showed significant seasonal dynamics in surface sediments of a tropical ecosystem (Cochin estuary, south west coast of India). Concentrations ranged from 304 to 5874 ngg<sup>-1</sup> ...
Biological pretreatment and bioconversion of agricultural wastes, using ligninolytic and cellulolytic fungal consortia
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Agricultural wastes have attractive potential as alternate energy sources. However, a major bottleneck is to identify eco-friendly treatment methodologies to utilize them. The large diversity of unexplored, novel, and ...
Observed tidal currents on the continental shelf off the east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
In the present study, we analysed 9-month long data from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) deployed on the shelf off the east coast of India to study the characteristics of tidal currents in the region. The ADCPs ...
Global concerns of ship`s ballast water mediated translocation of bacteria
(Springer and Business Media, 2017)
Shipping facilitates transportation of over 90% of the world’s commodities and eventually transfers ~10 billion tons of ballast water which is routinely taken aboard vessels to maintain their stability. The ballast water ...
Suspended sediment dynamics in Cochin estuary, West coast, India
(Springer, 2017)
An observational study was conducted in Cochin estuary to examine the relative impacts of tidal and river runoff forcing upon suspended sediment dynamics at different time scales. Time series measurements of salinity and ...
Unmelted cosmic metal particles in the Indian Ocean
(Wiley, 2017)
Fe?Ni metal is a common constituent of most meteorites and is an indicator of the thermal history of the respective meteorites, it is a diagnostic tool to distinguish between groups/subgroups of meteorites. In spite of ...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Hopanes in Plastic Resin Pellets as Markers of Oil Pollution via International Pellet Watch Monitoring
(Springer, 2017)
Oil pollution in the marine environment is an unavoidable problem due to chronic input from local sources, particularly in urban areas and oil spills. Oil pollution not only causes immediate physical damages to surrounding ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of metals in suspended particulate matter of the Kali estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Major (Al, Fe, Mn, Ti, Mg) and trace (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr, Ni, Co, Zr, Rb, Sr, Ba, Li, Be, Sc, V, Ga, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, Cs, Hf, Ta, Bi, Th, U) elements and particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations in surface suspended ...
A unique corundum and refractory metal-nugget bearing micrometeorite P117
(The Meteoritical Society, 2017)
Micrometeorites provide a large range of samples sourced from a wide variety of planetary materials, thereby providing a scope for expanding the known inventory of solar system materials. Here we report the micrometeorite ...
Influence of short-term hydrographic variations during the north-east monsoon on picophytoplankton community structure in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The eastern Arabian Sea over the continental margin is a dynamic region subjected to short-term variability in hydrography as a result of various physical forcing such as coastal advection and vertical mixing. In order to ...
