Influence of ENSO on the Pacific decadal oscillation in CMIP models
(Springer, 2017)
Emerging decadal climate predictions call for an assessment of decadal climate variability in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) database. In this paper, we evaluate the influence of El Ni�o Southern Oscillation ...
Relict ooids off northwestern India: Inferences on their genesis and late Quaternary sea level
(Elsevier, 2017)
Relict carbonate sands dominated by ooids and faecal pellets are common on the continental shelf, between 60 and 110m, off northwestern India. The shiny tan/white aragonitic ooids closely resemble modern Bahamian ooids, ...
Adaptations of fungi and fungal-like organisms for growth under reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations
(CRC Press, 2017)
Our knowledge of the ecological roles of fungi in oxygen-depleted environments has been limited because of the lack of techniques for observing, isolating, and growing these fungi, and as a result they were thought to have ...
CO2 induced growth response in a diatom dominated phytoplankton community from SW Bay of Bengal coastal water
(Elsevier, 2017)
The ongoing increase in surface seawater CO2 level could potentially impact phytoplankton primary production in coastal waters; however, CO2 sensitivity studies on tropical coastal phytoplankton assemblages are rare. The ...
Satellite and In Situ Observations of a Phytoplankton Bloom from Coastal Bay of Bengal: Role in pCO2 Modulation
(Springer, 2017)
A phytoplankton bloom was monitored in coastal waters of Bay of Bengal and its influence in water column properties was investigated. Significant draw down of CO2 was noted within the vicinity of the bloom associated with ...
Petrogenetic evolution of Cretaceous Samchampi-Samteran Alkaline Complex, Mikir Hills, Northeastern India: Implications on multiple melting events of heterogeneous plume and metasomatized sub-continental lithospheric mantle
(Elsevier, 2017)
The Samchampi (26° 13' N: 93° 18' E)-Samteran (26° 11' N: 93° 25' E) alkaline complex (SSAC) occurs as an intrusion within Precambrian basement gneisses in the Karbi-Anglong district of Assam, Northeastern India. This ...
Diversity and decolorization potential of fungi isolated from the coral reef regions off Kavaratti, India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2017)
Forty-six marine-derived fungi were isolated from sea water, sand, sea grass and coral mucus collected from the coral reef regions off Kavaratti, Lakshadweep Islands, Arabian Sea. Of these, six cultures were screened for ...
Evidence for the existence of Persian Gulf water and Red Sea water in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2017)
The high-salinity water masses that originate in the North Indian Ocean are Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW), Persian Gulf Water (PGW), and Red Sea Water (RSW). Among them, only ASHSW has been shown to exist in the ...
Silicon cycle in Indian estuaries and its control by biogeochemical and anthropogenic processes
(Elsevier, 2017)
We study the silicon biogeochemical cycle and its associated parameters in 24 and 18 Indian estuaries during dry and wet periods respectively. We focus more specifically on dissolved Si (DSi), amorphous Si (ASi,) lithogenic ...
Headwaters to oceans: Ecological and biogeochemical contrasts across the aquatic continuum
(Wiley, 2017)
While the disciplines of oceanography and limnology often operate in isolate, freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems are intricately linked. The emphasis of this special issue for Limnology and Oceanography is on the ...
