Seasonal and tidal variations in suspended particulate matter dynamics of two microtidal rivers of Karnataka, central west-coast of India
(Springer, 2021)The concentrations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate total nitrogen (PTN) of SPM, and sediments were studied in two microtidal rivers of Karnataka (Nethravati and ... -
Survival of the blaNDM-harbouring Escherichia coli in tropical seawater and conjugative transfer of resistance markers
(Springer, 2021)Anthropogenic contamination of coastal-marine water is responsible for introducing multidrug-resistant bacteria such as the pNDM-harbouring Escherichia coli into the seafood chain. This study was conducted to understand ... -
Response of ocean surface waves to the co-occurrence of Boreal Summer Intra-Seasonal Oscillation and El Nino Southern Oscillation
(Springer, 2021)Studies related to the combined effect of different atmospheric oscillations on the ocean surface waves are limited. The present study focuses on the change in wave climatology due to the combined effect of Boreal Summer ... -
Marine macrobenthos of NorthWest India-Reviewing the known and unknown
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)Tropical ecosystems sustain higher biodiversity and face faster species extinction. However, baseline information of these areas is either inadequate or scattered due to various reasons. The 2,360 km long coast of North ... -
Episodic recycling of ancient metasomatized continental lithosphere: Evidence from lower oceanic crust of the Central Indian Ridge
(Elsevier, 2021)The tectonic and magmatic processes contributing to the heterogeneous nature of the upper mantle posit important constraints on the composition and differentiation of the Earth at various scales. Mid-oceanic ridges of ... -
Refertilization of mantle peridotites from the Central Indian Ridge: Response to a geodynamic transition
(Geological Society of America- GeoScienceWorld, 2021)The phenomena of reactive percolation of enriched asthenospheric melts and pervasive melt-rock interactions at mid oceanic ridge-rift systems are the principal proponents for mantle refertilization and compositional ... -
Allelopathic interaction among rocky intertidal invertebrates: sponge Cinachyrella cf. cavernosa and Zooxanthellate zoanthids Zoanthus sansibaricus
(Springer, 2021)Intertidal sessile invertebrates experience tough competition for space which they avoid by releasing secondary metabolites (allelochemicals). We investigated the allelopathic interaction between sponge Cinachyrella cf. ... -
Potential mechanisms responsible for spatial variability in intensity and thickness of oxygen minimum zone in the Bay of Bengal
(AGU Wiley, 2021)Spatial variability in boundaries and thickness of oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) is derived based on measured dissolved oxygen data obtained from sensors on board biogeochemical (BGC) Argo floats between 2013 and 2019 in the ... -
Seismotectonic evaluation of off Nicobar earthquake swarms, Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2021)The Andaman Sea has experienced a number of earthquake swarms as a result of complex tectonics arising from oblique subduction, active volcanic arc, the backarc spreading center, and sliver fault systems. One of the most ... -
Advances in photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy
(Elsevier, 2021)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) combine light and photosensitizers to treat cancers and microbial infections, respectively. In PACT, the excitation of a photosensitizer drug ... -
Response of the phytoplankton community to seasonal and spatial environmental conditions in the Haldia port ecosystem located in the tropical Hooghly River estuary
(Springer, 2021)The phytoplankton community structure exhibits seasonal and spatial variations in response to the environmental conditions, which aids in understanding the ecosystem's health. Given this, four samplings were conducted ... -
International pellet watch: Global monitoring of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in plastic resin pellets
(Japan Society for Environmental Chemistry, 2021)Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were measured in plastic resin pellets collected from 65 beaches across 27 countries worldwide. They were detected at 49 locations at concentrations of the sum of 49 congeners of up ... -
Multivariate assessment of outflow water quality in highly urbanized creek system: Implication of natural and anthropogenic processes
(Springer, 2021)Nutrient source and transport study in tropical creeks adjacent to megacities are sparse on a regional and global scale. High-frequency chemical data collected during 2017-2018 in the Thane creek system, the largest ... -
Impacts of variable nutrient stoichiometry (N, Si and P) on a coastal phytoplankton community from the SW Bay of Bengal, India
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)The worldwide release of excessive nutrients (nitrogen [N], silicon [Si] and phosphorus [P]) into coastal waters is impacting phytoplankton growth and community structure. The coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB) is predicted to ... -
Bioluminescence in aquatic and terrestrial organisms elicited through various kinds of stimulation
(Springer, 2021)The term bioluminescence refers to a conspicuous light emission displayed by numerous aquatic and terrestrial organisms. This phenomenon has so far not been observed in several taxonomic groups like archaea, protista, ... -
Isolation and characterization of marine bioluminescent bacteria for toxicity bioassays and biotechnological applications
(Springer, 2021)Toxic heavy metals pollution posed severe health hazards to the environment and biodiversity. Therefore, the development of rapid and non-invasive bioassays is in the race to monitor toxic chemicals using novel approaches. ... -
Evaluation of wave growth and bottom friction parameterization schemes in the SWAN based on wave modelling for the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)In the present study, SWAN wave model is nested with Wavewatch 3 to reproduce waves off the central west coast of India using ERA-5 winds. The sensitivity of SWAN wave model was tested with different wave growth and bottom ... -
Role of shamal and easterly winds on the wave characteristics off Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
(Elsevier, 2021)Waves in the Arabian Gulf (Gulf) are dominated by shamal winds during winter and early summer. Although wave characteristics in the Gulf are broadly studied, features associated with various wind systems are not explicitly ... -
Impact of lockdown on the environmental quality along the Indian coast and a tropical estuary
