(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)Mangrove ecosystems are one of the most versatile habitats for microorganisms with a high potential for producing a variety of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. In this study, bacteria with urease activity, enzymes that ... -
Wave Height Trends off Central West Coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2020)Wave height trends off three sites along 100 m and 20 m depth contours off the central west coast of India have been estimated using 46 years hindcast-wind-wave data simulated for the Indian Ocean region. The wind waves ... -
Potential mechanisms responsible for occurrence of core oxygen minimum zone in the north-eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2020)The thickness of oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) is estimated for the first time using dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles obtained from the Biogeochemical Argo floats collected between 2013 and 2019 in the Arabian Sea. The depth of ... -
Seasonal production of nitrous oxide in a tropical estuary, off western India
(Elsevier, 2020)Estuaries are highly productive ecosystems, and estuarine emission of N2O contributes significantly to the global nitrogen (N) budget. Presented here are the spatio-temporal distribution and water-air flux of N2O from a ... -
Climate change impact and vulnerability assessment of Mumbai city, India
(Springer, 2020)Climate change (CC) is one of the most challenging problems of today which need to be understood. CC impact studies at the urban centres are the need of the hour. Mumbai is one of the most vulnerable port cities in the ... -
Dynamics of dimethylsulphide and associated compounds in the coastal waters of Goa, west coast of India
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Concentrations of total dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSPt), Dimethylsulphide (DMS) and total dimethylsulphoxide (DMSOt) were measured at a coastal time series site, west coast of India, from September 2009 to December ... -
Microremediation of tannery wastewater by siderophore producing marine bacteria
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020)The present study evaluated the microremediation potential of nine siderophore producing marine bacteria for hazardous raw tannery wastewater from common effluent treatment plant (CETP). Most of the pollutants detected in ... -
Application of machine learning techniques in groundwater potential mapping along the west coast of India
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2020)Groundwater potential mapping (GWPM) in the coastal zone is crucial for the planning and development of society and the environment. The current study is aimed to map the groundwater potential zones of Sindhudurg coastal ... -
A revised chronostratigraphic framework for International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 355 sites in Laxmi Basin, eastern Arabian Sea
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 355 drilled Sites U1456 and U1457 in Laxmi Basin (eastern Arabian Sea) to document the impact of the South Asian monsoon on weathering and erosion of the Himalaya. We revised ... -
Comparison of bacterial community structure in coastal and offshore waters of the Bay of Bengal, India
(Elsevier BV, 2020)Bacterial community structure was analysed from the coastal and offshore surface waters of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) using of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) approach. Taxonomic richness was high in the offshore waters ... -
Controls on organic matter distribution in oxygen minimum zone sediments from the continental slope off western India
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)The causes of organic-rich sediments in contact with the perennial oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) on the continental slope off western India have been debated extensively, largely in relation to two main controlling factors: ... -
