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 ... -
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 ... -
Bacterial activity in hydrogenetic ferromanganese crust from the Indian Ocean: A combined geochemical, experimental and pyrosequencing study
(Springer, 2017)The Afanasiy-Nikitin Seamount (ANS) in the Equatorial Indian Ocean harbors hydrogenetic ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crusts. It was hypothesized that the bacteria associated with the crust catalyze the precipitation of metal ... -
Synthesis of stable nanosilver particles (AgNPs) by the proteins of seagrass Syringodium isoetifolium and its biomedicinal properties
(Elsevier, 2016)A simple eco-friendly approach for the hasty synthesis of stable, potent and benign silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using seagrass, Syringodium isoetifolium was proposed and described here. The UV–Vis, DLS, XRD, AFM, FESEM, ... -
Detection of decadal shoreline changes along Dhamara and Maipura coast, Odisha, India
(IAHR-AIRH, 2014)Coastal erosion is one of the major problems of the coastal zone. The erosion is triggered by various reasons such as high wave energy, reduction of sediments, natural disasters and climate change etc. In the era of ... -
Seasonal dynamics of adjoining tidal coastal inlet on east coast of India measurements and modelling
(IAHR-AIRH, 2014)The opening and closure of coastal tidal inlets play a major role in regulating the water and sediment exchange between the river and ocean as well as in the interruption of the longshore sediment transport. The present ... -
Assessment of existing sediment transport models for sand barrier dynamics under wave and currents
(IAHR-AIRH, 2014)The paper summarizes morphology changes over rippled sand barriers under wave and wave combined current of 27 laboratorial experiments. Data of 4 wave conditions (H=10cm, T=1s; H=12cm, T=1s; H=12cm, T=1.5s; H=14cm, T=1.5s) ... -
Microbial diversity in a mapping perspective : A review
(Mannargudi : Balavidya Ganapathy Educational and Charitable Trust, 2014)This review article briefly describes about tracing the microbial diversity by using advanced technologies viz. Remote sensing and Geographic Information System, which would help reduce the long term process of identification ... -
Influence of upper ocean stratification interannual variability on tropical cyclones
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)Climate modes, such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), influence Tropical Cyclones ~ (TCs) interannual activity through their effect on large-scale atmospheric environment. These climate modes also induce interannual ... -
About the role of westerly wind events in the possible development of an El Nino in 2014
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)Similarities between early 1997 and 2014 has prompted climate scientists to wonder if an El Niño matching the 1997 “El Niño of the century” could develop in 2014. Until April 2014, the equatorial Pacific exhibited positive ... -
Ocean feedback to tropical cyclones: Climatology and processes
(Springer, 2014)This study presents the first multidecadal and coupled regional simulation of cyclonic activity in the South Pacific. The long-term integration of state-of the art models provides reliable statistics, missing in usual event ... -
Oceanic mesoscale turbulence drives large biogeochemical interannual variability at middle and high latitudes
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)Observed phytoplankton interannual variability has been commonly related to atmospheric variables and climate indices. Here we showed that such relation is highly hampered by internal variability associated with oceanic ... -

Remote-sensing perspective and GPR subsurface perception on the growth of a recently emerged spit at Talashil coast, west coast of India
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)The growth as well as the internal structure of the recently emerged Talashil spit along the west coast of India was studied using multidate satellite images coupled with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) information. Decadal ... -
Population density, biomass and allometric relationship of shortneck clam Paphia malabarica (Chemnitz, 1782) from estuarine regions of Goa west coast of India
(Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, 2014)Studies on morphometry and length-weight relationship of Paphia malabarica were carried out in samples collected during March 2009 to March 2010 at two locations in Goa. Morphometric relationships between length-breadth ... -
Kocuria indica sp nov., isolated from sediment sample
(IUMS, 2014)A actinobacterial strain isolated from a sediment sample from Chorao Island, in Goa province India, and subjected to a taxonomic investigation. The isolate, designated NIO-1021T, was a Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile ... -
Late Holocene (~ 2 ka) East Asian Monsoon variations inferred from river discharge and climate interrelationships in the Pearl River Estuary
(Elsevier, 2014)A sediment core from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) was analyzed for grain size and organic geochemistry parameters (TOC and δ13C<sub>org</sub>). The results showed that high mean grain-size value and increased sand content ... -
Enhanced methane flux event and sediment dispersal pattern in the Krishna–Godavari offshore basin: Evidences from rock magnetic techniques
(Elsevier, 2014)Detailed rock magnetic measurements such as susceptibility (X), susceptibility of anhysteric remanent magnetization (X<sub>ARM</sub>), saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM), soft-isothermal remanent magnetization ... -
PCR detection of ansA from marine bacteria and its sequence characteristics from Bacillus tequilensis NIOS4
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co., 2014)As many as 71 marine bacterial DNA extracts were PCR screened for L-asparaginase (ansA), a key gene in anti-cancer molecular-searches. Over 62% (44) of them were positive for ansA gene. The positive cultures were from ... -
