Deciphering benthic ecosystem functioning and resilience in a major port and marine protected area via the multi-trait approach
(Elsevier, 2023)The preservation of ecosystem functioning of coastal zones, in face of increasing environmental stressors and species extinctions, relies on the functional redundancy and inherent resilience of its inhabitants. To compare ... -
Degradation of crude oil-associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by marine-derived fungi
(Springer, 2023)One of the major environmental concerns today is hydrocarbon contamination resulting from the activities related to the petrochemical industry. Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons like alkanes, naphthene and ... -
Impact of leading Indo-Pacific climatic modes in modulating the wave power variability and their trends in the North Indian Ocean
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023)The present study analyses the trend and variability in wave parameters (wave height and wave period) and wave power (WP) in the North Indian Ocean (NIO). The impact of climatic modes such as El-Niño Southern Oscillation ... -
Diversity and impacts of macroalgae and cyanobacteria on multi-stressed coral reefs in the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve
(Elsevier, 2023)In India, intertidal seaweed resources are widely investigated and utilized for various applications, whereas reef-associated seaweed resources and their impacts on corals are lesser known. Thus, the present study investigated ... -
Status and conservation challenges of the second-largest seagrass bed in India: Chilika lagoon
(Springer, 2023)Studies related to seagrass ecology, conservation, and management are sparse and highly biased in India. Even though the geographical distribution of seagrass is diverse in India, about 74% of the scientific publications ... -
Climate change and coastal morphodynamics: Interactions on regional scales
(Elsevier, 2023)Climate change and its impacts, combined with unchecked human activities, intensify pressures on coastal environments, resulting in modification of the coastal morphodynamics. Coastal zones are intricate and constantly ... -
Evidence of soil microplastics inhibiting the germination of commercial coriander seeds under field conditions
(Springer; Institute for Ionics, 2023)The environmental impacts of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), and their occurrence in aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial biomes have engrossed global attention. Most impact assessment studies have majorly linked ... -
Modern sedimentation on the eastern continental shelf of India: Assessing the provenance and sediment dispersal pattern
(Elsevier, 2023)Sediments deposited on the eastern continental shelf of India are studied for texture, mineralogy and their major, trace, and rare earth elemental composition in lithogenic fraction. The objective of this study was to ... -
Experimental and theoretical investigation on the extractive mass transfer of eu3+ ions using novel amide ligands in 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide
(American Chemical Society, 2023)Novel amide ligands in the ionic liquid (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) were utilized for the liquid-liquid biphasic mass transfer of Eu3+ ions from aqueous acidic waste solution. The cation ... -
Jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo collected off Goa Coast (India) as a rich source of tryptophan containing collagen and its enhanced antioxidant potential
(Springer, 2023)The extraction of Rhizostoma pulmo discarded off the Goa coast, India resulted in obtaining remarkably higher yield of 47% (based on lyophilized weight) type I collagen. The amino acid composition showed presence of glycine, ... -
A synthesis of paleomonsoon and associated processes from the unique depocenter, Andaman Sea
(Springer, 2023)The Andaman Sea is a unique deep basin with limited connectivity with the global ocean. The riverine influx from the major rivers draining from the surrounding Asian landmass combined with a large amount of rainfall during ... -
Biomarker responses in the Coilia dussumieri exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons contamination in urbanized estuaries along the west coast of India
(Springer, 2023)The estuaries of Maharashtra are under continuous pressure due to uncontrolled dumping of persistent toxic organic pollutants into these regions and their impact on the marine environment. In this study, total petroleum ... -
Rehashing our insight of seaweeds as a potential source of foods, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals
