Bioluminescence of green Noctiluca scintillans from the coastal waters of Kochi (southwest coast of India) and in vivo experiments on bioluminescence in response to mechanical stimuli and its diurnal variations
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)A bloom of green Noctiluca scintillans (GNS) was spotted as conspicuous bright blue coloured bioluminescence in the coastal waters of Kochi on 29 May 2019. The intense blue colouration was visible in the inshore waters, ... -
Role of ocean dynamics in the evolution of mixed-layer temperature in the Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2021)Earlier studies suggest that the mixed-layer (ML) temperature or sea surface temperature (SST) of the Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon is determined primarily by air-sea fluxes. We use an oceanic general circulation ... -
Bioprospecting of Marine Fungi
(Springer, Singapore, 2022)Marine fungi are eukaryotic organisms occurring in water and sediments as parasitic and/or symbiotic on marine flora and fauna. The Indian subcontinent has a rich marine habitat, and fungi have high diversity and distribution ... -
Long-range global transport and characterization of dust
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)Aerosols are tiny-suspended particles in the Earth�s atmosphere, which have the potential to modify atmospheric radiative forcing, cloud properties, and atmospheric chemistry. Aerosols are transported from one part of the ... -
Evaluation of tidal stream energy at major tidal inlets of Goa, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)An attempt has been made to identify promising sites for tidal stream energy assessment along the Goa coast on central west coast of India. A two-dimensional tidal-driven validated numerical model is used to assess the ... -
Holocene variability in chemical weathering and ocean redox state: A reconstruction using sediment geochemistry of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)Major and trace elemental geochemistry of a sediment core (SSK40/GC10; water depth ~50 m) from the eastern Arabian Sea (17� 59.89123 N, 72� 22.45161 E) have been investigated to reconstruct the continental weathering pattern ... -
Dissolved iron cycling in the Arabian Sea and sub-tropical gyre region of the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2022)Understanding the sources and biogeochemical processes influencing the dissolved iron (DFe) distribution is crucial because of its coupled role in C- and N-fixation in the oceans. Vertical depth profiles of DFe in the ... -
Meso-scale foreshore evolution in low-energy, storm-dominated tropical west coast of India: Implications for shoreline management
(Springer, 2022)Along the tropical coast, there is cyclic variation in wind, wave currents, water and sediment influx, and the coasts experience a monsoonal storm surge that reaches nearly 2-3 times higher than the rest of the year, and ... -
Macroalgal susceptibility to grazing by herbivore fish Siganus spp. at Gulf of Mannar reef, Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2022)Enhancing the herbivore fish stock is envisaged as a mitigation tool to reverse the macroalgal dominance in a coral reef environment. However, identifying the key species of herbivore fish that significantly controls the ... -
Benthic exchange along a tropical estuarine salinity gradient during dry season: Biogeochemical and ecological implications
(Elsevier, 2021)Benthic biogeochemistry and its coupling with pelagic ecology are less understood in tropical than in temperate estuaries, which have significant implications for global carbon and nutrient cycling. In dry season, the ... -
Diversity pattern of marine culturable heterotrophic bacteria in a region with coexisting upwelling and mud banks in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)Mud banks and upwelling are two important oceanographic features occurring along the southwest coast of India during the southwest monsoon period. The study region, Alappuzha lying on the southwest coast of India, is unique ... -
Impact of Dissolution of Saline-Alkaline Soils on the Hydrochemistry and Erosion Rates of the Ganga River System
(Wiley, 2022)We characterize here the saline-alkaline soils composed of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 in the Ganga floodplain and the peninsular basin using various chemical proxies and the isotopic composition of Sr. Abundance of saline-alkaline ... -
Analysis of non-pharmaceutical interventions and their impacts on COVID-19 in Kerala
(Nature Publishing Group, 2022)In the absence of an effective vaccine or drug therapy, non-pharmaceutical interventions are the only option for control of the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019, a pandemic with global implications. Each of the ... -
Remote forcing of winter cooling in the Arabian Sea: Implications for the NE monsoon
(Elsevier, 2022)The regional climate in the Asian subcontinent is highly influenced by the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) and Northeast Monsoon (NEM) during boreal summer and winter, respectively. Although the response of the SWM to the abrupt ... -
The Synergistic Impacts of Anthropogenic Stressors and COVID-19 on Aquaculture: A Current Global Perspective
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)The rapid, global spread of COVID-19, and the measures intended to limit or slow its propagation, are having major impacts on diverse sectors of society. Notably, these impacts are occurring in the context of other ... -
Diagenetic dissolution, maghemitization and sulphidization of magnetic minerals in rapidly deposited gas hydrate bearing sediments from the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2022)We conducted a comprehensive rock magnetic investigation complemented by a scanning electron microscopy analyses on a 148.8 m sediment core (NGHP-01-20A) from the methane-hydrate bearing site in the Bay of Bengal to ... -
A~30 kyr sub-centennial to millennial Indian summer monsoon variability record from the southern Andaman Sea, northeastern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2022)This paper reports centennial-scale variations in the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) that induced stratification and resultant productivity changes in the southern Andaman Sea. The study is based on foraminifera assemblages ... -
Microplastics in copepods reflects the manmade flow restrictions in the Kochi backwaters, along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2022)This baseline study on microplastics (MPs) in calanoid copepods in the Kochi backwaters (KBW), India's largest estuary system on the west coast, focuses on (a) the spatiotemporal variations of MPs with the seasonal hydrography ... -
