Tracing the biomass burning emissions over the Arabian Sea in winter season: Implications from the molecular distributions and relative abundances of sugar compounds
(Elsevier, 2022)The widespread haze pollution over South Asia typically occurs in winter, affecting the abundance of organic aerosols (OA) over the Arabian Sea due to prevailing meteorology.We determined the concentrations of biomass ... -
Microplastics a Novel Substratum for Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-Producing Bacteria in Aquatic Environments
(Springer, 2022)Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) being biological polymers have attracted great attention.PHA have similar properties to that of synthetic plastic and are biodegradable.To discourage plastic pollution in the environment alternative ... -
Findlater jet induced summer monsoon memory in the Arabian Sea
(Nature Publishing Group, 2022)A cross-equatorial low-level wind, known as Findlater Jet (FJ), modulates the thermocline in the Arabian Sea (AS) during summer monsoon (June to September).By analysing ocean and atmospheric data, we show that the FJ signal ... -
A new species of genus Rhabdophrya (Ciliophora: Suctorea) from the west coast of India and comments on the genus taxonomy
(Magnolia Press, 2022)The article presents the description of a new species of the suctorian genus Rhabdophrya inhabiting the body surface (cuticle) of harpacticoid copepod from Navy-Nagar, Mumbai intertidal coralline region, west coast of ... -
Spatio-temporal variations of benthic communities along the coast
(Elsevier, 2022)The distribution of benthic fauna and their community structure varies spatially and temporally in response to variations in environmental and ecological factors.Such variations may occur as spatial (e.g., latitudinal and ... -
Geochemical provenance of an Indo-Arabian stone anchor from Manikapatna highlights the medieval maritime trade of India
(Nature Publishing Group, 2022)India is one of the oldest maritime nations in the world, and the overseas contacts date back to the third millennium BCE.Besides several archaeological vestiges, numerous stone anchors of various types have been documented ... -
Biogeochemistry of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in the Bay of Bengal: New insights through re-analysis of data
(Springer, 2022)Primary production is reported to be a fraction of heterotrophic carbon demand in the Bay of Bengal (BoB), and it is attributed to the unavailability of inorganic nutrients and faster sinking of organic matter in association ... -
Application of remotely sensed sea surface temperature for assessment of recurrent coral bleaching (2014-2019) impact on a marginal coral ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)The 2014-2016 El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) caused a prolonged marine heatwave that led to widespread coral bleaching and mortality across the Indo-pacific coral reefs.Prediction of coral bleaching and assessment of ... -
Surge in the jellyfish population of a tropical monsoonal estuary: A boon or bane to its plankton community dynamics?
(Elsevier, 2022)Recurrent jellyfish blooms and their impacts on ecosystem deliverables of coastal habitats have become a major ecological concern.In view of this, repercussions of a surge in the jellyfish population on the plankton community ... -
Bioactive Trace Elements' Composition and Their Fractional Solubility in Aerosols from the Arabian Sea during the Southwest Monsoon
(American Chemical Society, 2022)Atmospheric dust deposition supplies a significant amount of macro- and micronutrients to surface ocean water, thus playing a vital role in modulating phytoplankton growth.In this context, we measured soluble and total ... -
Glacial-interglacial differences in carbonate burial in the equatorial Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2022)To understand the variations in carbonate burial for the last 30 kiloannum (ka), we have utilized a core from the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), Site716A (04.56�N and 73.17�E) retrieved from a water depth of 533~m from the ... -
Triterpenoids and fatty alcohols as indicators of mangrove derived organic matter in Northern Kerala Coast, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Triterpenoids and fatty alcohols were identified from the sediments of five mangrove ecosystems (Kunjimangalam, Pazhayangadi, Pappinissery, Thalassery, and Kadalundi) in the northern Kerala coast, India, to illustrate the ... -
Tracing terrestrial versus marine sources of dissolved organic carbon in the largest monsoonal Godavari estuary in India using stable carbon isotopes
(Elsevier, 2022)To examine the sources of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and its modifications within the estuary, time-series sampling was conducted at 10 stations covering the entire salinity range in the Godavari estuary.The salinity ... -
Satellite-based spectral mapping (ASTER and landsat data) of mineralogical signatures of beach sediments: A precursor insight
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Detailed investigation on texture and mineralogy of beach sediments helps to understand their nature of deposition and potential targets of strategic mineral deposits.The beach sediments from the coast of Thiruvananthapuram, ... -
Seasonal variability in aeolian dust deposition fluxes and their mineralogical composition over the Northeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)Atmospheric mineral dust is derived from arid/semi-arid region, undergoes long-range transport, and can impact surface biogeochemical processes in the pristine marine region.This study reports fluxes of mineral dust (wet ... -
Scattered wave imaging of the Main Himalayan Thrust and mid-crustal ramp beneath the Arunachal Himalaya and its relation to seismicity
(Elsevier, 2022)Despite numerous seismological experiments in the Himalaya, the Main Himalayan Thrust and the mid-crustal ramp, that is postulated to host major earthquakes in the region, are not precisely imaged.Within the Himalaya, the ... -
