Extraction of persistent lagrangian coherent structures for the pollutant transport prediction in the Bay of Bengal
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) are the hidden fluid flow skeletons that provide meaningful information about the Lagrangian circulation. In this study, we computed the monthly climatological LCSs (cLCS) maps utilizing ... -
Winds and waves in the Arabian Gulf: Physics, characteristics and long-term hindcast
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023)A 40-year hindcast of the wave conditions in the Arabian Gulf, the elongated basin between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran, is described. The input wind fields were derived from the ERA5 reanalysis by the European Centre ... -
Differential food utilization of benthic amphipods of a tropical estuary: A stable isotopic (?13C and ?15N) investigation
(Springer, 2024)Globally, stable isotopic methods are rapidly being employed in food web studies to quantify the relative proportions of diverse primary carbon sources in an animal diet. Tropical estuarine ecosystems, one of the vital ... -
Comparing environmental impacts of deep-seabed and land-based mining: A defensible framework
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)The crises of climate change and biodiversity loss are interlinked and must be addressed jointly. A proposed solution for reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and thus mitigating climate change, is the transition from ... -
Effects of seasons and successive upwelling phases on phytoplankton size classes in the Southeast Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)The responses of Phytoplankton Size Classes (PSCs) to seasons and the distinct phases of coastal upwelling in the northern Indian Ocean is an understudied aspect. This study introduces observations from a monthly time ... -
Resource utilisation and trophic niche overlap of coralline intertidal benthic amphipods: an isotopic perspective
(Springer, 2024)Benthic amphipod feeding groups are a well-established trophic classification that is mostly based on field observations and laboratory tests and are used in ecological studies to monitor the ecological state of benthic ... -
Relationship between dietary fiber content and prebiotic potential of polysaccharides from the seaweeds of the North west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2024)The macroalgae are a sustainable bioresource that can be harnessed for their functional food and nutraceutical applications. This study characterized the biochemical composition and bioactive potential of natural biological ... -
Distribution and bioaccumulation status of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Veraval coastal waters using copepods as bio-indicators
(Springer, 2024)The study investigates the pollution characteristics of 16 priority PAHs, accumulated in copepods from a major fishing harbour and its adjacent coastal waters of Veraval, west coast of India. The total PAH accumulation is ... -
Response of inner shelf benthic foraminiferal community to different concentrations of dissolved oxygen under laboratory culture experiment
(SAGE Publications, New Delhi, India, 2024)Dissolved oxygen, a vital parameter for a majority of marine organisms, may decline in the near future due to anthropogenic eutrophication in coastal waters. The effect of depleting dissolved oxygen on the marine benthic ... -
First report of the rare tintinnid genus Stelidiella Kofoid and Campbell 1929 in the Indian Ocean
(Oxford University Press, 2024)This study provides detailed information on the morphometry and distribution of some rare tintinnids species found in the Indian Ocean. The morphological features (scabbard-shaped with a fenestrated collar) reported here ... -
Assessment of aerosol-cloud interactions over the Northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2024)The interaction between aerosol and cloud causes one of the largest uncertainties in external forcing to our climate system, highlighting the importance of additional extensive research on aerosol - cloud interaction (ACI). ... -
BODIPY-cucurbituril complexes: Supramolecular approach toward improvement of photodynamic activity
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2024)The host-guest interaction of cucurbit[7]uril with lipophilic BODIPYs decreases their aggregation in water and improves the photophysical properties. Phototoxicity of the complex with one CB[7] moiety increased up to seven ... -
Do microplastics accumulate in penguin internal organs? Evidence from Svenner island, Antarctica
(Elsevier, 2024)The prevalence of microplastics (MPs, <5 mm) in natural environments presents a formidable global environmental threat MPs can be found from the Arctic to Antarctica, including glaciers. Despite their widespread distribution, ... -
Copepod community in the coastal waters off Kochi (India) signify the enhanced estuarine flushing during the Southwest Monsoon
(Elsevier, 2024)Even though many studies refer to copepods as potential indicators of hydrographical settings and/or water masses, focused studies on this aspect are very scarce in Indian waters. Hence, this study assesses the hydrography ... -
Dominant contribution of atmospheric nonlinearities to ENSO asymmetry and extreme El Nino events
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)Extreme El Nino events have outsized impacts and strongly contribute to the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) warm/cold phase asymmetries. There is currently no consensus on the respective importance of oceanic and ... -
Resilience-based assessment of shallow water patchy reefs in Palk Bay of South East Coast of India
(Springer, 2024)The health of coral reefs in Palk Bay has been influenced by several natural and anthropogenic stressors over the last four decades. This study assessed the resilience potential of Scleractinian corals and their associated ... -
Surface ocean-lower atmospheric processes in the Indian Ocean: Current understanding, knowledge gaps, and future directions
(University of California Press, 2024)Our understanding of surface ocean and lower atmosphere processes in the Indian Ocean (IO) region shows significant knowledge gaps mainly due to the paucity of observational studies. The IO basin is bordered by landmasses ... -
Morphotectonic characteristics of the Andaman volcanic arc and its adjoining regions, Andaman Sea
