Geochemical tracing of synoptic scale modern dust transport over the Northeast Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon
(Elsevier, 2023)During the Southwest monsoon (SWM), aeolian dust is mainly supplied via wet deposition over the northeast Arabian Sea (NEAS). To understand their impact on the biogeochemistry of the Arabian Sea, it is important to identify ... -
Assessing seasonal nitrogen transformations in the Godavari estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2023)Indian estuaries are hypothesized to export a significant amount of nitrogen nutrients to the coastal waters due to the high use of fertilizers. To examine the possible sources of nitrogen nutrients and their modifications ... -
Role of inter-annual variability in the magnitude of river discharge on CO2 fluxes in the Godavari tidal river zone, India
(Elsevier, 2023)Variations in the magnitude of river discharge may alter pH, pCO2 of surface water, and flux of CO2 to the atmosphere in the Tidal River Zone (TRZ). To test this hypothesis, a nearly decade-long time-series data of salinity, ... -
Half-sandwich iridium(III) and rhodium(III) complexes: Synthesis, characterization and antifouling properties
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)The reaction of [(η5-C5Me5)MCl2]2 [M = Ir (1) or Rh (2)] with thiazole ligands (L) at room temperature [L = atz; 2-acetamidothiazole (3) or catz; 5-chloro-2-acetamidothiazole (4)] afforded iridium(III) and rhodium(III) ... -
Link of the short-term temporal trends of Sr and Nd isotopic composition of aeolian dust over the Arabian Sea with the source emissions
(Elsevier, 2023)Aeolian transport of continental dust from the Middle East and South Asia to the Arabian Sea (AS) is an important route for delivering key trace metals and nutrients. Despite being surrounded by several deserts, it is not ... -
Diatom community dynamics in a tropical brackish coastal ecosystem from an ecological and biogeochemical perspective: A size-fractionated approach
(Elsevier, 2023)Diatoms are a major, ubiquitous photosynthetic group representing most aquatic ecosystem’s microalgal communities. The species composition encompasses a wide range of cell sizes. Although cell size is vital in aquatic ... -
More than half of emitted black carbon is missing in marine sediments
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)Marine sediments are the ultimate reservoir for black carbon (BC) preservation, and BC burial in sediment/soils is an efficient method for carbon sequestration to mitigate CO2 emissions. A portion of soil charcoal and ... -
Recent global insight into mitigation of plastic pollutants, sustainable biodegradable alternatives, and recycling strategies
(Springer, 2023)Plastics are organic polymers mainly derived from petrochemicals which can be flexibly molded into different shapes. Due to the many benefits of petroleum plastics, including their low cost, high durability, resistance to ... -
Risk assessments of microplastics accumulated in estuarine sediments at Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, southeast coast of India
(Springer, 2023)In this study, the abundance of microplastics (MPs) in the Uppanar and Gadilam estuaries in Cuddalore, on the southeast coast of India, is reported. In the estuarine sediments, MP abundance ranged from 36.3 ± 3.39 to ... -
Massive influence of Himalayan source on sedimentation along northern Indian peninsular basin
(Elsevier, 2023)A 39 m long sediment core (MD161-19) spanning 320 ka, collected from the intermediate water depths of (1480 m) of Mahanadi offshore was subjected to provenance analyses using Sr and Nd isotope systematics. The Sr–Nd isotope ... -
Mid-Pleistocene transition altered upper water column structure in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2023)The unique water column structure and seasonal change in the hydrodynamics make the Bay of Bengal an interesting area to understand the effect of monsoon on the water column stratification. We have reconstructed a 1.45 Myr ... -
Responses of Phytoplankton Benthic Propagules to Macronutrient Enrichment and Varying Light Intensities: Elucidation from Monsoon-Influenced Mandovi and Zuari Riverine System
(Springer, 2023)The ecological importance of phytoplankton-benthic-propagules (PBP) from coastal sediments, except tropical monsoon-influenced rivers and estuaries, is well documented. PBP in such systems is often transported from upstream ... -
Ecobiology and distribution of Streptomyces species from distinctive metal polluted sediment of tropical estuary, Northwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2023)The present study aims to isolate diverse actinomycetes communities from the estuarine sediments of Patalganga located at Northwest coast of India. Total 40 actinomycetes were isolated from 24 sediment samples by dilution ... -
Huge anthropogenic microbial load during southwest monsoon season in coastal waters of Kakinada, Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2023)To examine the influence of anthropogenic activities on the marine ecosystem near the coastal waters of the port city, Kakinada, a study was conducted to investigate the abundance of heterotrophic, indicator and pathogenic ... -
Variations in short-term statistics of waves observed in the coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2023)Understanding the short-term statistics of waves is crucial for various marine applications. Present study investigates variations in the short-term statistics of waves in the eastern Arabian Sea, at a water depth of 15 m ... -
Steepness of surface gravity waves measured in the eastern Arabian Sea during peak monsoon months
(Elsevier, 2023)Information on wave steepness is required to design marine facilities and plan safe maritime navigation. In this work, the steepness of the individual waves measured in the coastal waters at five locations using wave rider ... -
