Signals of selection in the mitogenome provide insights into adaptation mechanisms in heterogeneous habitats in a widely distributed pelagic fish
(Nature Research, 2020)Oceans are vast, dynamic, and complex ecosystems characterized by fluctuations in environmental parameters like sea surface temperature (SST), salinity, oxygen availability, and productivity. Environmental variability acts ... -
The impacts of ocean acidification on marine trace gases and the implications for atmospheric chemistry and climate
(Royal Society Publishing, 2020)Surface ocean biogeochemistry and photochemistry regulate ocean-atmosphere fluxes of trace gases critical for Earth�s atmospheric chemistry and climate. The oceanic processes governing these fluxes are often sensitive to ... -
Massive Methane Loss During Seasonal Hypoxia/Anoxia in the Nearshore Waters of Southeastern Arabian Sea
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)Repeat observations over the Kochi and Mangalore shelves of the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during April to December 2012 revealed substantial accumulation of methane (CH4) in the nearshore waters (48.6 � 34.4 nM) ... -
Copepods size structure in various phases of a cold-core eddy - Normalised Abundance Size Spectra (NASS) approach.
(Pergamon, 2020)The present study addresses the copepods size structure in different phases of a cold-core eddy based on a 17 day time-series measurement (21st February to 8th March 2016) from a coastal site in the western Bay of Bengal ... -
Sources of organic matter and tracing of nutrient pollution in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Pergamon, 2020)Stable isotopic composition of carbon (delta13CPOM) and nitrogen (delta15NPOM) in the particulate organic matter (POM) is used to identify sources of organic carbon and nutrients using monthly time-series observation in ... -
A coherent response of Southern Indian Ocean to the Antarctic climate: Implications to the lead, lags of atmospheric CO2 during deglaciation
(Springer, 2020)A record of delta18Oc from the Indian sector of Southern Ocean and atmospheric CO2, and delta18O of European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) and Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) reveals that a coherent ... -
Aberrations in the microbiome of cyanobacteria from a tropical estuary polluted by heavy metals
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)The effect of heavy metal pollution on the microbiome of cyanobacteria in Cochin estuary (CE) on the southwest coast of India is reported in the study. Statistically significant difference in heavy metal concentration was ... -
The Global Implications of the Nitrogen Cycle: A Benthic Community Perspective
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, New castle, UK, 2020)The benthic ecosystem comprising coral reefs, seaweed, and seagrass beds contributes to organic matter mineralisation, food for many invertebrates and fishes, and plays a significant role in regulating the various ... -
Oceanic rocks beneath the landmass and continental rocks below the ocean - geological complexities in Indian waters
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2020)This brief write up reports two extreme geological cases found in waters around the Indian subcontinent. In the eastern side of the subcontinent, particularly beneath the Bengal onshore and offshore basins, proto-oceanic ... -
Role of oceanic fronts in enhancing phytoplankton biomass in the eastern Arabian Sea during an oligotrophic period
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)In the present study, using in-situ and satellite observations, we investigate the influence of physical processes on the enhancement of phytoplankton biomass in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). Water column measurements ... -
Marine Microbial Response to Heavy Metals: Mechanism, Implications and Future Prospect
(Springer, 2020)Growing levels of pollution in marine environment has been a matter of serious concern in recent years. Increased levels of heavy metals due to improper waste disposal has led to serious repercussions. This has increased ... -
Trace metal distribution in the sediment cores of mangrove ecosystems along northern Kerala coast, south-west coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Core sediment samples were collected from five mangrove ecosystems along northern Kerala coast (Kunjimangalam: S1, Pazhayangadi: S2, Pappinissery: S3, Thalassery: S4, and Kadalundi: S5) to assess the status of heavy metal ... -
Climatology of wave period in the Arabian Sea and its variability during the recent 40 years
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Information on wave period is required for designing marine facilities. Characteristics of peak period (Tp) can reveal swell or wind-sea predominance at a location. Mean wave period (Tm) and Tp from reanalysis data spanning ... -
Closing the sea surface mixed layer temperature budget from in situ observations alone: Operation Advection during BoBBLE
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental driver of tropical weather systems such as monsoon rainfall and tropical cyclones. However, understanding of the factors that control SST variability is lacking, especially ... -
Occurrence of Gravity and Infra Gravity Waves in the Nearshore Region at Ratnagiri, West Coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2020)This study analyses the sea level data measured simultaneously using S4DW and directional Wave Rider Buoy (WRB) off Ratnagiri, eastern Arabian Sea, located along the west coast of the Indian sub-continent. The objective ... -
A Mesohaline Thraustochytrid Produces Extremely Halophilic Alpha-Amylases
(Springer, 2020)Halophilic bacteria are well known to produce highly salt-tolerant enzymes that have unusual applications in biotechnology. Production of halophilic proteins is generally not expected in mesohaline microorganisms. Ulkenia ... -
Does the Laxmi Ridge continue towards the Laccadive Ridge? New insights from an integrated geophysical study
(Pergamon, 2020)The Laxmi and Laccadive ridges are two major aseismic ridges in the NW Indian Ocean. Bathymetry, gravity and magnetic data and their derivatives are analyzed and modelled to assess interrelationship between both the ridges ... -
Effect of freshwater advection and winds on the vertical structure of chlorophyll in the northern Bay of Bengal
