Chemical compositions of Fe-rich relict olivines from cosmic spherules, understanding their links with ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)Fe-rich relict olivine grains are found in a small percentage of cosmic spherules, which are studied here to determine the nature of their precursors. We examined 128 Fe-rich relict olivine grains with Fa >10 mol% from 53 ... -
Linking genetic lineages of giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii to their global populations
(Springer, 2024)Globally, the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii is considered as a commercially important aquaculture species. Genetically, this species is differentiated into western, central and eastern populations. ... -
Fungal diversity associated with Goa�s tarballs: Insights from ITS region amplicon sequencing
(Elsevier, 2024)This study explores the fungal diversity associated with tarballs, weathered crude oil deposits, on Goa�s tourist beaches. Despite tarball pollution being a longstanding issue in Goa state in India, comprehensive studies ... -
Impact of COVID-19 lockdown on methane related activities in a tropical estuarine mangrove ecosystem
(Springer, 2024)The COVID-19 pandemic led to an immediate lockdown declared by the government of India (March to April 2020) which saw a decrease in public activities. In view of this, a comparative study was carried out on the influence ... -
A 70 kyr record of monsoon-induced marine productivity changes, terrigenous flux and weathering variations in the southern Bay of Bengal
(Geological Society of India - GeoScienceWorld, 2024)The southwest (SW) and northeast (NE) monsoon winds significantly affect the oceanographic and climatic changes over the Bay of Bengal (BoB). We present here detailed geochemical and isotopic records from two sediment cores ... -
Halotolerant bacteria from genus Nesterenkonia sandarakina VSA9 as a potential polyhydroxyalkanoate producer
(Springer, 2024)Nesterenkonia sandarakina VSA9 pigmented bacteria isolated from Sargassum is being reported to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) deduced through detecting the presence of pha C gene using the molecular method. The PHA ... -
Unraveling the role of bacterial communities in mangrove habitats under the urban influence, using a next-generation sequencing approach
(Elsevier, 2024)Mangrove ecosystems are vital coastal habitats with rich biodiversity and play a significant role in carbon sequestration, these habitats are facing mounting threats from rapid urbanization. This study delves into assessing ... -
Copepoda community imprints the continuity of the oceanic and shelf oxygen minimum zones along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2024)The largest continental shelf Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) in the world is formed along the Indian western shelf in the eastern Arabian Sea during the Southwest Monsoon [(SWM); June-September], which is a natural pollution ... -
Assessment of equivalent black carbon variations and its source apportionment over Varanasi, Indo-Gangetic Basin
(Elsevier, 2024)In this study, the temporal variation of Equivalent Black Carbon (eBC) and its source apportionment is studied using a yearlong (Dec. 2020-Nov. 2021) multiwavelength Aethalometer (AE-33 model) measurements over Varanasi, ... -
Distribution, source and potential biological impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the core sediments of a networked aquatic system in the northwest coast of India - A special focus on Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary (Ramsar site)
(Elsevier, 2024)Mumbai, one of the most industrialised and inhabited cities in the world, has been confronting an exponential increase in pollution brought about by anthropogenic activities throughout its coastal belt over the years. The ... -
Factors regulating proliferation and co-occurrence of loricate ciliates in the microzooplankton community from the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2024)Ciliates are highly developed and diverse eukaryotes belonging to the microzooplankton community; they exhibit a wide distributional range and are a crucial component of the microbial food web. The current study addresses ... -
Occurrence, sources and risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the coral reef waters of the Lakshadweep Archipelago, Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)The compound effects of anthropogenic disturbances on global and local scales threaten coral reef ecosystems of the Arabian Sea. The impacts of organic pollutants on the coral reefs and associated organisms have received ... -
A distinct and reproducible teleconnection pattern over North America during extreme El Nino events
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) teleconnections are an important predictability source for extratropical seasonal climate forecasts. Previous studies suggest that the ENSO teleconnection pattern depends on the ENSO ... -
An integrated buoy-satellite based coastal water quality nowcasting system: India�s pioneering efforts towards addressing UN ocean decade challenges
(Elsevier, 2024)The Indian coastal waters are stressed due to a multitude of factors, such as the discharge of industrial effluents, urbanization (municipal sewage), agricultural runoff, and river discharge. The coastal waters along the ... -
Discovery of late Quaternary giant magnetofossils in the Bay of Bengal
