Last glacial-interglacial productivity and associated changes in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
We reconstruct paleo-productivity and bottom water oxygenation changes during the past 32ka, from the southeastern Arabian Sea, using absolute abundance of planktic foraminifera, relative abundance of Globigerina bulloides, ...
An insight into mercury reduction process by humic substances in aqueous medium under dark condition
(Springer, 2017)
Mercury (Hg) reduction by humic substances (HS) in the aquatic medium under the dark condition is a poorly understood but important process in Hg biogeochemical cycling. In this study, an effort was made to provide a better ...
Differential response of coral communities to Caulerpa spp. bloom in the reefs of Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2017)
Coral reef ecosystems are disturbed in tandem by climatic and anthropogenic stressors. A number of factors act synergistically to reduce the live coral cover and threaten the existence of reefs. Continuous monitoring of ...
Indian summer monsoon forcing on the deglacial polar cold reversals
(Springer, 2017)
The deglacial transition from the last glacial maximum at similar to 20 kiloyears before present (ka) to the Holocene (11.7 ka to Present) was interrupted by millennial-scale cold reversals, viz., Antarctic Cold Reversal ...
Bioremediation of tannery wastewater by a salt-tolerant strain of Chlorella vulgaris
(Springer, 2017)
Phycoremediation is the use of algae for removal or reduction of inorganic nutrients and xenobiotics from wastewaters. It is a reliable process for biotransformation and detoxification of a variety of pollutants. This study ...
A new species of Kirkegaardia (Annelida: Polychaeta, Cirratulidae) from the southeast coast of India
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)
A new polychaete species, Kirkegaardia serracroochaeta sp. nov. belonging to family Cirratulidae collected from the Chennai port, southeast coast of India is described here. This species possesses distinctly serrated ...
Benthic foraminiferal response to changes in mining pattern: a case study from the Zuari estuary, Goa, India
(Springer, 2017)
Being sensitive to environmental changes, foraminifera have been extensively used to monitor pollution level in the marine environment, including the effect of mining in coastal areas. In the Goa state of India, the rejects ...
River discharge as a major driving force on spatial and temporal variations in zooplankton biomass and community structure in the Godavari estuary India
(Springer, 2017)
Variability in horizontal zooplankton biomass distribution was investigated over 13 months in the Godavari estuary, along with physical (river discharge, temperature, salinity), chemical (nutrients, particulate organic ...
Controls on evolution of gas-hydrate system in the Krishna-Godavari basin, offshore India
(American Geophysical Union Publications, 2017)
Abstract In this study, we integrate environmental magnetic, sedimentological, and geochemical records of sediment core of Hole NGHP-01-10D overlying methane hydrate deposits to decipher the controls on the evolution of ...
Nature of suspended particles in hydrothermal plume at 3°40'N Carlsberg ridge: A comparison with deep oceanic suspended matter
(Current Science Association, 2017)
Suspended matter from hydrothermal plume at 3◦40'N Carlsberg Ridge was studied for microtexture and geochemistry. Characteristics of these plume particles were compared with deep-oceanic particulates from different ...
