Current status of aerosol-cloud interactions and their impact over the Northern Indian Ocean: A comprehensive review
(Elsevier, 2023)The interactions between aerosol and cloud play a vital role in global climate change and associated with one of the largest uncertainties.In last few decades, due to unique geographical location, Northern Indian Ocean ... -
Spatial variability in aerosol composition and its seawater acidification potential in coastal waters of the western coastal Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2022)Deposition of atmospheric dust is reported to acidify surface waters in the northern Bay of Bengal (BoB).To examine the spatial variability in content and composition of total suspended matter (TSP), aerosol samples were ... -
Atmospheric dust addition under elevated CO2 restructured phytoplankton community from the Arabian Sea: A microcosm approach
(Elsevier, 2022)Atmospheric dust deposition in the North Indian Ocean, particularly in the Arabian Sea significantly impacts phytoplankton productivity.Importantly, the steady increase in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) of the Arabian Sea ... -

Climatology and variability of wind speeds along the southwest coast of India derived from Climate Forecast System Reanalysis winds
(Wiley, 2022)Wind climate along the southwest coast of India (Kerala coast) has been analysed using 41 years of Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) winds to delineate long-term trends and variability.The study reveals significant ... -
Ontogenetic Dietary Shift in Megabenthic Predatory Elasmobranchs of a Tropical Estuarine Bay
(Springer, 2023)Elasmobranchs play a significant role in structuring the marine food webs in many marine habitats.Estuaries provide an essential habitat primarily as nurseries for elasmobranchs.The present study investigates the feeding ... -
Records of Sea Slug Fauna (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) from the shores of Goa, Eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)Heterobranch sea slugs are a group of often vibrantly coloured, shell-less, and soft-bodied molluscs which are also indicators of climate change and a source of natural products.The information on sea slug diversity and ... -
Tracing the impact and recovery trajectory of oil spill affected tropical rocky intertidal macrobenthic communities using the BOPA index
(Elsevier, 2023)A yearlong study was conducted to assess the impact of an oil spill on macrobenthos of rocky intertidal zone of Uran, India and its recovery processes, by comparing impacted site with a reference.Immediate acute effects ... -
Climatic control on detrital sedimentation in the continental margin off Chennai, western Bay of Bengal - A 42 kyr record
(Elsevier, 2023)While the peninsular Indian rivers deliver considerable loads of detrital sediments to the Bay of Bengal, changes in their depositional patterns with time are relatively less constrained compared to those deposited by ... -
The equatorial Indian Ocean upper water-column structure influenced by cross-basinal water exchange over the last ~40000 years
(Elsevier, 2022)The central equatorial Indian Ocean (CEIO) is influenced by both, summer and winter monsoon and is known for cross basin exchange of water between the Arabian Sea (AS) and the Bay of Bengal (BoB).Here, we present planktic ... -
Naturally Fluorescent Field Mouse, Mus booduga (Gray, 1837) and Common House Gecko, Hemidactylus frenatus (Schlegel, 1836) as Model Organisms for Biomedical Studies
(Springer, 2022)Since the discovery of the Green fluorescent protein from crystal jellyfish Aequorea victoria, many fluorescent organisms have been identified from different parts of the world.As a result, various fluorescent proteins ... -
Light-induced alteration in pigment signature and growth in a tropical surf-zone phytoplankton assemblage (southwestern Bay of Bengal, India)
(Oxford (OUP), 2022)We present here the first study documenting the variability in growth and pigment signature with fluctuating light in a tropical surf-zone (coastal Bay of Bengal) phytoplankton assemblage.In response to an 8.5 times light ... -
