Implications of coastal upwelling and mud banks on the structuring of phytoplankton communities in the nearshore waters of Alappuzha, southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2025)A comprehensive study on phytoplankton dynamics, encompassing chlorophyll a biomass, primary productivity, and community composition and abundance, was conducted in the Alappuzha mud bank region (< 15 m depth) along the ... -
Paleoarchean continental crust formation by reworking of juvenile crust: Evidence from SE part of Singhbhum Craton, eastern India
(Elsevier, 2025)Formation, evolution, and preservation of early continental crust have been a subject of intense debate. This is testified by the fragmentary nature of our understanding on the composition of early earth mantle, temporal ... -
Observed sea level and currents in the Indo-Sri Lanka channel: Seasonal transport, tidal characteristics, and the role of remote forcing,Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science,
(Elsevier, 2025)This paper examines the recorded sea level and current data in the Indo-Sri Lanka channel from 2010 to 2011. The shallow channel, which includes Palk Bay, Pamban Pass, and the Gulf of Mannar shelf plays a crucial ecological ... -
Tropical cyclones enhance net CO2 sink in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2025)Tropical cyclones modify the upper ocean due to significant mixing associated with increased winds that bring CO2 and nutrient-rich subsurface waters to the surface, altering CO2 flux and biological production. In the ... -
Assessing the potential effects of climate change on the morphodynamics of the tropical coral reef islands in the Gulf of Mannar, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2025)Low-lying and small tropical coral reef islands around the world are extremely vulnerable to the effects of global environmental change caused by the combination of anthropogenic climate change and escalating extreme ... -
Assessment of hazardous microplastic polymers and phthalic acid esters in an invasive mollusk (Mytella strigata) from the Cochin estuary, southwest coast of India: Unraveling ecosystem risks
(Elsevier, 2025)This paper characterizes the abundance, chemical characteristics, and potential hazards of microplastics (MPs) in water, sediment, and Mytella strigata from the Cochin Estuary (CE). In parallel, concentrations of plastic ... -
Response patterns of benthic functioning in tropical estuaries under varying scales of anthropogenic perturbations,
(Elsevier, 2025)Multifarious human pressures can adversely impact estuaries' benthic functioning, yet this is less understood in tropical regions. This study examined the macrobenthic functional patterns of three differentially impacted ... -
Unveiling the risk of marine litter and derelict fishing gear in remote coral reefs of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, North Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2025)An increasing amount of plastic litter and derelict fishing gear in the global oceans poses significant threats to corals and reef-associated marine biota. In this context, an underwater marine litter survey was conducted ... -
Chemical composition of aerosols over the Arabian Sea based on global reanalyses data and on-board ship measurements,
(Elsevier, 2025)The knowledge of chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols is key to understand aerosol-cloud-climate interactions and surface water biogeochemistry in the oceanic regions. Despite of strong natural and anthropogenic ... -
Comparative study of magnetic properties of sediments from six monsoonal rivers during the wet and dry periods, west coast of India,
(Elsevier, 2025)Environmental magnetism, in combination with Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), was carried out on the surface sediments of six rivers from the Goa and Karnataka regions (India). The main focus ... -
Characterization, Bio-Prospection, and Comparative Metagenomics of Bacterial Communities Revealing the Predictive Functionalities in Wild and Cultured Samples of Industrially Important Red Seaweed Gracilaria dura
(Springer, 2025)The present study explores the microbial community associated with the industrially important red seaweed Gracilaria dura to determine the diversity and biotechnological potential through culture and metagenomics approaches. ... -
Macrobenthic assemblages of anthropogenically active subtidal zones contiguous to a marine protected area: a 9-year revisit
(Springer, 2025)Submarine mass wasting in continental margins poses a significant threat to offshore installations, submarine communication cables, and coastal communities due to tsunamis. Based on the analysis of time-lapse geophysical ... -
A recent catastrophic submarine slope failure in the Krishna-Godavari basin, Bay of Bengal, India
(Springer, 2025)Traditional taxonomical methods, an appropriate Benthic Biotic Index incorporating the Taxonomical Sufficiency concept and Biological Traits Analyses, were applied concurrently to evaluate the long-term variations in the ... -
