Artificial intelligence approaches for spatial prediction of landslides in mountainous regions of western India
(Springer, 2021)The prediction of landslide is a complex task but preparing the landslide susceptibility map through artificial intelligence approaches can reduce life loss and damages resulting from landslides. The purpose of this study ... -
Why the Gulf of Mannar is a marine biological paradise?
(Springer, 2021)The Gulf of Mannar (GoM), located between India and Sri Lanka, has astonishing faunal richness and diversity. Two oceanographic data sets supplemented with satellite remote sensing observations are discussed here to show ... -
Xylanolytic enzyme consortia from Bacillus sp. NIORKP76 for improved biobleaching of kraft pulp
(Springer, 2021)A cellulase-free xylanolytic enzyme consortia consisting of a xylanase, arabinofuranosidase, and acetyl xylan esterase produced by Bacillus sp. NIORKP76 isolate under solid-state fermentation was assessed for its bio-bleaching ... -
A study on loops and eddies identified from the trajectories of drifters in the North Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2021)We identify loops and eddies from the trajectories of the drifters in the North Indian Ocean (NIO) from October 1985 to March 2019. We use the geometric identification method to identify loops and eddies and compare them ... -
Nutritional value of seaweeds and their potential to serve as nutraceutical supplements
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)Seaweeds are marine autotrophic organisms with numerous bioactive compounds of interest. Several seaweed products are available in the form of food or medicine due to their myriad beneficial biomolecules like anti-diabetic, ... -
Ocean Acidification Triggers Cell Signaling, Suppress Immune and Calcification in the Pacific Oyster Larvae
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)Elevated carbon dioxide levels in ocean waters, an anthropogenic stressor, can alter the chemical equilibrium of seawater through a process called ocean acidification (OA). The resultant reduction of pH can be detrimental ... -
Acidification of the coastal Bay of Bengal by aerosols deposition
(Springer, 2021)Polluted aerosol transport from South Asia containing oxides of nitrogen and sulphur and their deposition on surface may acidify coastal waters. To test this hypothesis, we have conducted experiments involving (a) variability ... -
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 ... -
