Macroalgal release of dissolved organic carbon in coral reef and its interaction with the bacteria associated with the coral Porites lutea
(Springer, 2021)Macroalgae supersede corals in the reefs worldwide, converting the coral-dominant systems into algal-dominant ones. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) released by macroalgae play a prominent role in degrading the coral reefs ... -
Evaluation and comparison of the earth observing sensors in land cover/land use studies using machine learning algorithms
(Elsevier, 2022)The rapid transformation of land cover/land use (LCLU) is a strong indication of global environmental change. In order to monitor LCLU through maps, a significant dataset and robust technique are necessary. Thus, the primary ... -
Temporal variations in the chemical composition of aerosols over the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2022)Variations in source, ionic composition and carbonaceous components of aerosols are expected in the atmosphere due to reversing the direction of winds from winter to summer over the coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB). To examine ... -
3-D seismic velocity structure of the Kumaun-Garhwal (Central) Himalaya: insight into the Main Himalayan Thrust and earthquake occurrence
(Oxford Academic, 2022)Objective assessment of seismic hazard and understanding of the Himalayan arc's tectonics requires detailed information on the crustal structure and geometry of the underthrusting Indian Plate beneath the Himalaya. Here, ... -
Characterization of colored dissolved organic matter along the western continental shelf of India during the seasonal hypoxia
(Elsevier, 2022)In recent years the number of hypoxic zones in the world is rising, which has been attributed to the increase in nutrients and organic matter due to anthropogenic activities. Here we present results on the variations in ... -
Phytoplankton community structure is governed by salinity gradient and nutrient composition in the tropical estuarine system
(Elsevier, 2022)Primary production in the estuarine ecosystems is principally represented by phytoplankton. The presence or function of phytoplankton in estuarine production is mainly regulated by factors such as salinity, light, turbidity, ... -
Seasonal variations in the water quality and antibiotic resistance of microbial pollution indicators in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, India
(Springer, 2022)The two adjacent estuaries of the rivers Mandovi and Zuari, along the Goa coast in the central west coast of India, are a large complex aquatic system hosting diverse natural habitats. The water quality in these habitats ... -
Seasonal and inter-annual variability of chemotaxonomic marker pigments in the north-eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)Using in situ data, the present study explored the seasonal and inter-annual variations of phytoplankton characteristics in the north-eastern Arabian Sea (NEAS). Phytoplankton pigment assessment was carried out at the ... -
Assessment of MV Wakashio oil spill off Mauritius, Indian Ocean through satellite imagery: A case study
(Springer, 2022)Accidental oil spills in the near-shore regions create severe impacts on coastal environments. The bulk carrier MV Wakashio ran aground off Southeastern Mauritius (SEM) on 25 July 2020, resulting in ~1000 tons of oil ... -
Archean Biogeochemical Cognizance from Dharwar Craton, India - A Review
(Springer, 2022)The Banded iron formations (BIFs) and manganese formations of Chitradurga, Shimoga and Sandur greenstone belts of Dharwar craton, associated with the stromatolitic carbonates, carbonaceous phyllites and shales along with ... -
Nine new records of brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from Indian waters
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)This paper presents nine new records of brittle stars for the Indian waters, collected between 49 and 957 m depths in the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. Of these, Ophiolepis cardioplax and Ophiopsammus aequalis ... -
Report of Cothurnia cf. pedunculata Dons, 1918 (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) found as epibiont on Entoprocta from the Indian Ocean
(Station Biologique de Roscoff Institute, Roscoff, France, 2022)Peritrich ciliate Cothurnia cf. pedunculata Dons, 1918 is reported for the first time from the Indian ocean, along Mumbai, west coast of India as epibiont on entoproct Barentsia Hincks, 1880. This is the first report of ... -
Role of riverine inputs, low saline plume advection and mesoscale physical processes in structuring the Chlorophyll a distribution in the western Bay of Bengal during Fall Inter Monsoon
(Elsevier, 2021)This study delineates the role of small and medium river inputs, Low Saline Plume Advection (LSPA) and eddies in hydrography alteration and Chlorophyll a (Chl. a) in the Western Bay of Bengal. Samples were collected across ... -
Influence of environmental variables on methane related microbial activities in a tropical bio-secured zero-exchange shrimp culture system
(Elsevier, 2022)Recently, aquaculture has emerged as the fastest growing food-producing sector accounting for nearly 50% of the world's food fish and is an activity of economic importance worldwide. Aquaculture systems are considered as ... -
Differences in the Structural Components Influence the Pumping Capacity of Marine Sponges
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021)Marine sponges are important sessile, benthic filter feeders with a body plan designed to pump water efficiently. The sponge body plan generally consists of mineral spicules, gelatinous mesohyl, and the pores and canals ... -
Salinity changes may influence dinoflagellate cyst morphometry: data from monsoon-influenced tropical coastal ecosystems
(Oxford Academic, 2021)Generally, dinoflagellate cyst morphology is species specific. Their variability due to environmental factors (temperature and salinity) makes them potential proxies for such factors. However, there is a dearth of information ... -
Time and causes of submergence of ancient temple structures off Mahabalipuram, East Coast of India
(NIScPR-CSIR, India, 2021)As per traditional belief, some part of the ancient town of Mahabalipuram had been submerged just off the shore temple and this story has been recorded by the several British travelers during the 18th - 19th century. During ... -
