Decadal variations in natural and anthropogenic aerosol optical depth over the Bay of Bengal: the influence of pollutants from Indo - Gangetic Plain
(Springer, 2021)Perennial increase in atmospheric pollution over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and South China Sea is reported due to increase in human population and industrial activity in South and Southeast Asia. Based on total aerosol optical ... -
Ecological quality status assessment of tropical estuaries with benthic indices using differently derived reference conditions
(Elsevier, 2022)Setting appropriate reference conditions (RCs) is critical for classifying the Ecological Quality Status (EcoQS) which is extremely challenging, considering the present-day estuaries. The EcoQS of three tropical estuaries ... -
Geochemical speciation of iron under nearshore hypoxia: A case study of Alappuzha mud banks, southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2022)Studies on the speciation of iron (Fe) and its regulatory roles in the biogeochemical cycling of other elements in the sediments of the Arabian Sea are limited. Changes in the reactivity and crystallinity of geochemical ... -
COVID-19 lockdown induced air pollution reduction over India: A lesson for future air pollution mitigation strategies
(Springer, 2021)Air pollution is one of the biggest problems worldwide and needs to be addressed potentially with the implementation of updated stringent policies and legislative laws. The nationwide lockdown imposed to prevent the COVID-19 ... -
Caldera-like features located over the Panikkar Seamount and adjacent regions in the Laxmi Basin, eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)The Laxmi Basin, which is believed to have been formed by the divergence between India and the Laxmi Ridge, contains a seamount chain consisting of the Raman Seamount, Panikkar Seamount and the Wadia Guyot in its axial ... -
Variability in tidal harmonics of the coastal and estuarine waters of Goa during winter monsoon and spring inter-monsoon
(Elsevier, 2022)Harmonic analysis was carried out with simultaneously observed tide elevation in the coastal and estuarine regions of Goa. The tide elevations were consistent along the coastal stretch of 80 km; however, significant ... -
Characteristics of individual surface waves measured by moored buoys in the coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)In this study, the characteristics of the individual surface waves in the eastern Arabian Sea over one year are examined based on the measured time-series data using Waverider buoys at four locations covering ~500 km of ... -
Geochemistry and granulometry as indicators of paleoclimate, weathering, and provenance of sediments for the past 1,00,000 years in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)Geochemical and granulometric investigation of a 408 cm long sediment core raised from the Eastern Arabian Sea was carried out to decipher the climate, weathering, dust flux and provenance of sediments during the past 100 ... -
Investigation of near-shore processes along North Goa beaches: A study based on field observations and numerical modelling
(Springer, 2021)The dynamic coastal environment comprising of near-shore zone and beach continuously undergoes substantial morphological changes due to man-made and natural processes. These processes are always mutually dependent and ... -
Rip current occurrences in meso tidal surf zones at a coastal stretch along the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2022)Currents in the surfzone were measured and modeled along a coastal stretch on the central west coast of India. Wave and tide were the primary forcings for the numerical model, which was validated with the measurements. The ... -
Carbonaceous aerosols and their light absorption properties over the Bay of Bengal during continental outflow
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)The marine atmosphere of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is prone to get impacted by anthropogenic aerosols from the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) and Southeast Asia (SEA), particularly during the northeast monsoon (NEM). In this ... -
Explorations of lesser known old ports sites along the eastern Saurashtra Coast, Gujarat
(ISPQS- Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quarternary Studies, Pune, 2021)Explorations were carried out along the shore from Khambhat to Jafrabad along the Saurashtra coast during the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons. The main objective of these explorations was to locate ancient ports along this ... -
Acquisition of bioluminescent trait by non-luminous organisms from luminous organisms through various origins
(Springer Nature, 2021)Bioluminescence is a natural light emitting phenomenon that occurs due to a chemical reaction between luciferin and luciferase. It is primarily an innate and inherited trait in most terrestrial luminous organisms. However, ... -
Editorial: Benthic Biodiversity of the Indian Ocean
(Frontiers, 2022)Benthic organisms are an important component of the marine biodiversity. Although the benthic organisms constitute only a fraction of the total marine biomass, their contribution to the remineralization and thus biogeochemical ... -
Complete genome analysis of undecylprodigiosin pigment biosynthesizing marine streptomyces species displaying potential bioactive applications
(MDPI, 2021)Marine Streptomyces species are underexplored for their pigment molecules and genes. In this study, we report the genome of the undecylprodigiosin biosynthesizing gene cluster carrying Streptomyces sp. strain BSE6.1, ... -
Marine Algal Colorants for the Food Industry
(Springer, Cham, 2022)Seaweeds are considered as usual foods, novel feed ingredients, nutraceutical compounds, and source of pigments (R-phycoerythrin, fucoxanthin, lutein etc.) and proteins. They appear to possess bioactive properties, such ... -
Spatial distribution of waves and wave-induced littoral drift along the nearshore regions of the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)The spatial distribution of nearshore wave characteristics and wave-induced littoral drift along the Central West Coast of India (CWCI) is investigated using a wave transformation model. Previous approaches in littoral ... -
