Trace metals concentration in water hyacinth implicates the saltwater barrage altered hydrography of Kochi backwaters, southwest Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)This study in the Kochi backwaters (KBW) presents the distribution of 9 trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Pb) in different parts (root, stolon and leaf) of the common water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes during ... -
Two decades of current observations in the equatorial Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2021)Deep-sea moorings in the equatorial Indian Ocean were first deployed by India in the year 2000, and currents were measured at three locations (77°E, 83°E, and 93°E) on the equator. In this paper, we present two decades of ... -
Influence of phytoplankton pigment composition and primary production on pCO2 levels in the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2021)The tropical Indian Ocean is a net sink for the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and phytoplankton production plays a crucial role in CO2 fixation and determines the direction of CO2 flux at the sea-to-air interface. ... -
Seaweed-based cellulose: Applications, and future perspectives
(Elsevier, 2021)Cellulose is a naturally occurring organic polymer extracted mainly from lignocellulosic biomass of terrestrial origin. However, the increasing production of seaweeds for growing global market demands has developed the ... -
Sedimentological responses to coastal dynamics along the Thane District, North Maharashtra, West Coast of India
(Springer, 2021)We present the results of sedimentological responses to coastal dynamics of the Arnala beach, located between Vaitarna and Ulhas rivers, Thane district, Maharashtra, India. The coast is remarkably flat and wide and in the ... -
Response of macrozoobenthic communities to summer monsoon upwelling and related hypoxia in the south eastern Arabian Sea shelf
(Elsevier, 2021)Coastal upwelling in the south eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) leads to oxygen depletion over the continental shelf during the summer monsoon season (June-September), with latitudinal gradients in intensity. Based on two surveys ... -
Phosphorus cycling from a coastal upwelling zone in the Southeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2021)The present study examined the seasonal cycling of phosphorous (P) along the southwest coast of India (SWCI) based on two cruises during the southwest monsoon (SWM) and northeast monsoon (NEM) of 2018. During SWM, the ... -
Controls of mass transport deposit and magnetic mineral diagenesis on the sediment magnetic record from the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)We conducted rock magnetic, mineralogical, sedimentological and geochemical analyses on a sediment core (MD161/Stn-11) retrieved from a complex marine sedimentary system of Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin to delineate the ... -
Observational evidence of stratification control of upwelling and pelagic fishery in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer-Nature, 2021)Upwelling is a physical phenomenon that occurs globally along the eastern boundary of the ocean and supports pelagic fishery which is an important source of protein for the coastal population. Though upwelling and associated ... -
Discovery of cytotoxic natural products from Red Sea sponges: Structure and synthesis
(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2021)Marine ecosystem continues to produce a great wealth of molecules endowed with cytotoxic activity towards a large panel of tumor cells. Marine sponges, apparently defenseless organisms are endowed through evolution with a ... -
Overview on Microbial Enzymatic Production of Algal Oligosaccharides for Nutraceutical Applications
(Springer, 2021)Global requirement for algal foods is increasing, as they are progressively consumed for its nutrition and health. Macroalgae is a proven source of metabolites, proteins, pigments, bioactive compounds, and algal polysaccharides. ... -
Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed synthesis of 2-arylbenzimidazole and 2-arylbenzothiazole in water
(Springer, 2021)Benzimidazoles/benzothiazoles are heterocyclic compounds which contain a five membered heteroatom and a benzene ring. They constitute a crucial structural unit of numerous bioactive compounds and natural products. Since ... -
Ecological and Biotechnological Aspects of Pigmented Microbes: A Way Forward in Development of Food and Pharmaceutical Grade Pigments
(MDPI AG, 2021)Microbial pigments play multiple roles in the ecosystem construction, survival, and fitness of all kinds of organisms. Considerably, microbial (bacteria, fungi, yeast, and microalgae) pigments offer a wide array of food, ... -
The world's largest coastal deoxygenation zone is not anthropogenically driven
(IOP Publishing, 2021)The growing number of oxygen-deficient coastal zones around the world and their impacts on marine life has always been a controversial issue as their development is largely attributed to anthropogenic activities which can ... -
Introduction (to book: Air Pollution and Its Complications: From the Regional to the Global Scale)
(Springer International Publishing, Cham, Switzerland, 2021)This book provides an overview of the fundamental concept of air pollution, emission sources of air pollutants and their transportation. First, the book presents a brief background on air pollution and its emission sources, ... -
