Alarming waterweeds proliferation in the Vembanad Lake System might significantly increase water loss through transpiration
(Springer, 2022)Eichhornia crassipes and Monochoria vaginalis are waterweeds, and their uncontrolled proliferation in fresh and brackish water habitats is a serious ecological problem in many parts of the world. These weeds are quite ... -
Indus and Nubra Valley hot springs affirm the geomicrobiological specialties of Trans-Himalayan hydrothermal systems
(Springer, 2022)Geomicrobiologies of the hot springs of Chumathang and Panamik (located in the Indus and Nubra valleys of eastern and northern Ladakh, respectively) were revealed and compared with the Lotus Pond spring of Puga Valley ... -
Marine microbial enzymes for the production of algal oligosaccharides and its bioactive potential for application as nutritional supplements
(Springer, 2022)Marine macroalgae have a very high carbohydrate content due to complex algal polysaccharides (APS) like agar, alginate, and ulvan in their cell wall. Despite numerous reports on their biomedical properties, their hydrocolloid ... -
Warm northern tropical Indian Ocean strengthened the ocean circulation prior to the last glacial termination
(Elsevier, 2022)Modern observations and model simulations suggest a strong influence of tropical processes on high-latitudinal climate. The evidence of similar tropics-high latitude climate link during glacial termination is, however, ... -
Contrasts in calcium carbonate dissolution above the lysocline in the equatorial Indian Ocean over the last ~40 ka
(Elsevier, 2022)Understanding calcite dissolution above the lysocline is crucial to comprehend the oceanic calcium carbonate cycle. To understand past calcite dissolution in sediments from above the lysocline, we use multiple dissolution ... -
Ciliated protozoan occurrence and association in the pathogenesis of coral disease
(Elsevier, 2022)Various microbial infections have significantly contributed to disease progression leading to the mortality of corals. However, the holobiont and the external surfaces of coral, including the secreted mucus, provide a ... -
Multistage melt impregnation in Tethyan oceanic mantle: Petrochemical constraints from channelized melt flow in the Naga Hills Ophiolite
(Elsevier, 2022)Ophiolitic sequences obducted onto continental margins allow field based observations coupled with petrochemical interrogations of upper mantle lithologies thereby aiding evaluation of compositional heterogeneity of oceanic ... -
Distinctive phytoplankton size responses to the nutrient enrichment of coastal upwelling and winter convection in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)Even though the seasonal pattern of phytoplankton biomass distribution in the seas around India is reasonably well understood, there is relatively little information on phytoplankton size classes. The current study shows ... -
Genomic investigations provide insights into the mechanisms of resilience to heterogeneous habitats of the Indian Ocean in a pelagic fish
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021)The adaptive genetic variation in response to heterogeneous habitats of the Indian Ocean was investigated in the Indian oil sardine using ddRAD sequencing to understand the subpopulation structure, stock complexity, ... -
Copepod carcasses in the western Bay of Bengal and associated ecology
(Springer, 2022)Although a portion of all copepods in the natural environment are physiologically inactive or dead, there is little data on this aspect in Indian seas. Using the classical neutral red live staining technique, the dead ... -
Unraveling the sources of atmospheric organic aerosols over the Arabian Sea: Insights from the stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition
(Elsevier, 2022)The isotopic composition of stable carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15N) in marine aerosols influenced by the continental outflows are useful proxies for understanding the aging and secondary formation processes. Every ... -
Ecological preferences of living benthic foraminifera from the Mahanadi river-dominated north-western Bay of Bengal: A potential environmental impact assessment tool
(Elsevier, 2022)The ecological preferences of living benthic foraminifera from the riverine influx dominated eastern continental margin of India have been studied. The living benthic foraminifera were abundant on the upper slope (~100-700 ... -
Chemical Diversity and Bioactivity of Marine Sponges of the Genus Oceanapia: A Review
(Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2022)The marine sponges of the genus Oceanapia sp. is comprised of more than 50 species and are distributed in the seas around the tropical and subtropical regions. They are mainly found in the northern Indian oceans, Japan, ... -
Emiliania huxleyi biometry and calcification response to the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean environmental gradients
(Elsevier, 2022)An increase in the atmospheric pCO2 and temperature is expected to reduce ocean CO32- concentration, make oceans warmer and alter ocean circulation patterns. This will also affect the production and biogeographic distribution ... -
Multi-decadal changes of mangrove forest and its response to the tidal dynamics of thane creek, Mumbai
(Elsevier, 2022)Mangroves are one of the world threatened ecosystems, which is protected and categorised under CRZ-I according to the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification. The present study marked the decadal (1990-2017, Landsat ... -
Time-dependent plume front positioning and its dynamics coupled with seasonal river efflux
(Springer, 2022)The time-dependent plume front positioning with respect to different tidal phases and its dynamics coupled with seasonal river efflux on the shelf off Kochi, southwest coast of India, was investigated using Finite Volume ... -
Magnetotellurics evidence of trapped fluids beneath the seismogenic zone of Anjar earthquake (Mw6.0), Kachchh intraplate region, northwest India
(Elsevier, 2021)Lithospheric rheological heterogeneities across a rift play a significant role in intraplate deformation and seismic activity. The Kachchh rift in the northwestern part of the India has not only experienced lithospheric ... -
Multi-mineral potential of littoral placers of Sindhudurg District, Maharashtra, West coast of India
