Sediment dynamics of an artificially deepened mesotidal coastal lagoon: An environmental magnetic investigation of Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2017)
Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand�s largest barrier-enclosed coastal lagoon, comprises two sub-basins with separate catchments, inlets and tidal channel systems. This study sets out to assess and investigate the sediment ...
Trichodesmium blooms and warm-core ocean surface features in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2017)
Trichodesmium is a bloom-forming, diazotrophic, non-heterocystous cyanobacteria widely distributed in the warmer oceans, and their bloom is considered a �biological indication� of stratification and nitrogen limitation in ...
An intrathermocline eddy and a tropical cyclone in the Bay of Bengal
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
The Bay of Bengal, subjected to monsoonal forcing and tropical cyclones, displays a complex field of ocean eddies. On 5 December 2013 a sub-surface vortex or Intrathermocline Eddy (ITE) composed of water characteristic of ...
Spatial variability of upper ocean POC export in the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean determined using particle-reactive 234 Th
(Wiley, 2017)
The northern Indian Ocean is globally significant for its seasonally reversing winds, upwelled nutrients, high biological production, and expanding oxygen minimum zones. The region acts as sink and source for atmospheric ...
Diversity of bacteria and fungi associated with tarballs: Recent developments and future prospects
(Elsevier, 2017)
Tarballs are formed by weathering of crude oil in marine environment. They are transported from open ocean to the shores by sea currents and waves. Tarball pollution is a major concern to global marine ecosystem. Microbes ...
Astrobiological implications of dim light phototrophy in deep-sea red clays
(Elsevier, 2017)
Red clays of Central Indian Basin (CIB) under influence of trace of Rodriguez Triple Junction exhibited chemoautotrophy, low temperature hydrothermal alterations and photoautotrophic potential. Seamount flank TVBC-08, ...
Microbial activity promotes the enrichment of cobalt over nickel on hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
The different mineral phases of the ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crusts stem from the interaction of biotic and abiotic components. It is therefore vital to study the activity of these components to decipher their contribution ...
Meiofaunal distribution across the oxygen minimum zone of continental margin, North East Arabian Sea
(BioPublisher, 2017)
A quantitative study of metazoan meiofauna across the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of continental margin in the N-E Arabian Sea in the depth range 500-1965 m was carried out in September-November 2008. Bottom water oxygen and ...
Changes in depositional environment for the past 35 years in the Thane Creek, central west coast of India: Inferences from REEs, metals and magnetic properties
(Springer, 2017)
The role of diagenetic processes in influencing the behaviour of metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn), rare earth elements (REEs) and environmental magnetic parameters in two sediment cores from a polluted creek environment (the ...
On the accuracy of assessing copepod size and biovolume using FlowCAM and traditional microscopy
(CSIR, India, 2017)
In this paper, based on the biovolume estimation of different genera of copepods, we present the fact that only the Area-based Diameter (ABD) algorithm of FlowCAM has the efficiency to measure the bio-volume of copepods ...
