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 ... -
First report of brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from a seamount in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Magnolia Press, Auckland, New Zealand, 2023)This paper reports two species- Ophiozonella molesta (Koehler, 1904) and Ophiothamnus venustus Matsumoto, 1915, from a seamount in the Eastern Arabian Sea. This forms the first ever report of Ophiothamnus venustus from the ... -
Stakeholder alliances are essential to reduce the scourge of plastic pollution
(Springer Nature, 2023)Progress to reduce plastic pollution has been painfully slow and the consequent damage to the natural environment and to human health is likely to increase further. This has been because the views and ways of working of ... -
Seasonal variation and spatial distribution of microplastic pellets and their associated contaminants along the central east coast of India
(Springer, 2023)Microplastic pellets (MPPs) are one of the significant sources of plastic pollution on shorelines worldwide. In this study, for the first time, we have examined the occurrence of MPPs and their spatial and seasonal ... -
Luminescent quantum dots: Synthesis, optical properties, bioimaging and toxicity
(Elsevier, 2023)Luminescent nanomaterials such as semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) and quantum dots (QDs) attract much attention to optical detectors, LEDs, photovoltaics, displays, biosensing, and bioimaging. These materials include metal ... -
Long-term changes in Nutrient Concentration and Fluxes from the Godavari Estuary: Role of River Discharge and Fertilizer Inputs
(Springer, 2023)The discharge from the Indian peninsular rivers is strongly controlled by the intensity of monsoonal rainfall, which is strongly influenced by atmospheric extreme events, such as El Niño, La Niña, and Indian Ocean Dipole ... -
Impact of ocean warming on net primary production in the northern Indian Ocean: role of aerosols and freshening of surface ocean
(Springer, 2023)Warming due to climate change stratifies the upper ocean and reduces nutrient input to the photic zone resulting in a decline in net primary production (NPP). On the other hand, climate change increases both anthropogenic ... -
Recurrence of Gonyaulax polygramma bloom in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2023)Gonyaulax polygramma, a bloom-forming dinoflagellate, has been repeatedly observed along the southeastern Arabian Sea in recent years. During our study in October 2021, a patch of reddish-brown water was observed in the ... -
Persistent increase in carbon burial in the Gulf of Mannar, during the Meghalayan Age: Influence of primary productivity and better preservation
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)The oceans store a substantial fraction of carbon as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and organic carbon (Corg) and constitute a significant component of the global carbon cycle. The Corg and CaCO3 flux depends on productivity ... -
Preliminary observations on the coral reef communities in Angria Bank, an isolated carbonate bank in the Northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2023)Submerged carbonate banks are of significant geological and biological importance and relatively little is known about the biodiversity of these deeper and less accessible habitats. This study provides pilot information ... -
Folin-Ciocalteu assay as a rapid colourimetric screening method for evaluating PAH degradation abilities of heterotrophic bacteria
(Springer, 2023)Bioremediation using microbes is an eco-friendly approach being explored for reclaiming PAH-contaminated areas. However, isolation and screening of potential bacteria to degrade PAHs are very laborious and cumbersome. To ... -
Standardization of micro-FTIR methods and applicability for the detection and identification of microplastics in environmental matrices
(Elsevier, 2023)The ubiquity of microplastics (MPs) in the various environment is of increasing concern. Although micro Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (μ-FTIR) represents an ideal method for the detection of MPs, this technique ... -
