Are Artificial Barrages Necessary to Prevent Saline Incursion? A Modelling Approach to Restore the Healthy Ecosystem of the Vembanad Lake
(Springer, 2022)The Thanneermukkom Bund was constructed to prevent salt water intrusion in the low lying areas of the Kuttanad region which increase the paddy cultivation twice in a year.Without it, paddy cultivation would be limited to ... -
Spatial Variability of Mud Bank along the Southwest Coast of India and Its Impacts
(Springer, 2022)The mud bank at Alleppey along the southwest coast of India is a persistent one that forms in June and dissipates by September during the southwest monsoon (SWM).A calm patch of turbid water with a thick fluid mud at the ... -
Dynamics of trace metals in sediments of a seasonally hypoxic coastal zone in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)This study examined the effect of water column hypoxia on the distribution and geochemical fractionation of trace metals in the seasonally hypoxic coastal environment in the southeastern Arabian Sea.Water and surface ... -
Dissolved and particulate iron redox speciation during the LOHAFEX fertilization experiment
(Elsevier, 2022)The redox speciation of iron was determined during the iron fertilization LOHAFEX and for the first time, the chemiluminescence assay of filtered and unfiltered samples was systematically compared.We hypothesize that higher ... -
Enhanced Atmospheric Pollutants Strengthened Winter Convective Mixing and Phytoplankton Blooms in the Northern Arabian Sea
(Wiley, 2022)The recent increase in atmospheric pollutants (aerosols) over the northern Indian Ocean due to an increase in industrial activity in South and Southeast Asia decreased air temperature (AT) leading to the strengthening of ... -
Benthic community resilience in two differently impacted tropical estuaries: Taxonomic vs functional approaches
(Elsevier, 2022)Estuaries experience incessant modifications due to various stressors causing shifts in the benthic species community structure and ecosystem functioning.Two tropical estuaries along Northwest India, exposed to varied ... -
Bloom report of Noctiluca scintillans, Gymnodinium wulfii and Guinardia delicatula from Shastri Estuary, West Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2022)The present study reports the concurrent blooms of Noctiluca scintillans, Gymnodinium wulfii and Guinardia delicatula from Shastri Estuary.The bloom of Gymnodinium wulfii is reported for the first time from the west coast ... -
Assessment of aeolian dust concentration, elemental composition, and their wet and dry deposition fluxes over the Northeast Arabian Sea
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Atmospheric aerosol over the Arabian Sea is significantly impacted by the long-range transported mineral dust from the surrounding continents.This transported mineral dust is hypothesized and tested during several studies ... -
Sedimentary response to the contrasting provenance and oceanographic conditions on the continental shelf of India
(Elsevier, 2022)The present study sets out to elucidate how magnetic minerals derived from wide array of source regions respond to shelfal sedimentary processes in a complex shelf system.Bulk sediment magnetic mineralogy comprised of ... -
Distinct environmental parameters influence the abundance of living benthic foraminifera morphogroups in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)The ambient environmental parameters have a great bearing on the morphology of living flora and fauna.In this study, we tested this hypothesis on one of the most dominant groups of living unicellular marine microorganism, ... -
A strong influence of the mid-Pleistocene transition on the monsoon and associated productivity in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2022)The short-term variability in the Indian monsoon is well documented through instrumental records and paleoclimatic studies of the recent geological past.However, the effect of mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT) on the Indian ... -
Impact of atmospheric anthropogenic nitrogen on new production in the northern Indian Ocean: Constrained based on satellite aerosol optical depth and particulate nitrogen levels
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)Aerosols are one of the significant external sources of soluble reactive nitrogen to the surface ocean and their deposition affects the primary productivity.Owing to rapid industrialization over South and Southeast Asia, ... -
Prebiotic potential of enzymatically produced ulvan oligosaccharides using ulvan lyase of Bacillus subtilis, NIOA181, a macroalgae-associated bacteria
(Wiley, 2022)Aims: To characterize the polysaccharide hydrolyzing potential of macroalgae-associated bacteria (MABs) for the enzymatic production of oligosaccharides and determining their prebiotic potential.Methods and Results: ... -
Organic carbon dynamics in the continental shelf waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)The seasonal and spatial distribution of total organic carbon (TOC) is presented for the coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea, which experiences seasonal suboxia during the late southwest monsoon (SWM).This study ... -
Environmental status of some beaches in Daman and South Gujarat, India
(NIScPR-CSIR, India, 2022)Beaches are the prime choice of amusement, hence determining its quality is significant to public health.The existing status of water and sediment quality of four beaches along the northwest coast of India is evaluated at ... -
Natural Substrates and Culture Conditions to Produce Pigments from Potential Microbes in Submerged Fermentation
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)Pigments from bacteria, fungi, yeast, cyanobacteria, and microalgae have been gaining more demand in the food, leather, and textile industries due to their natural origin and effective bioactive functions.Mass production ... -
