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 ... -
Fluid-driven Hydrovolcanic Activity along Fracture Zones and near Seamounts: Evidence from Deep-sea Fe-rich Spherules, Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Wiley, 2021)An insight on occurrence of Fe-rich spherules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) provides an understanding of their distribution at a water depth of >5,000 m. In the present study, Fe-rich spherules are identified ... -
Characterization of anthropogenic marine macro-debris affecting coral habitat in the highly urbanized seascape of Mumbai megacity
(Elsevier, 2022)Marine debris has become a major form of pollution and a serious ecosystem health concern. The present study evaluates the accumulation, origin, and fate of debris in intertidal coral habitats of Mumbai-one of the world's ... -
Pore structures and fractal dimensions in Early Permian Barakar shales of Rajmahal Basin, Jharkhand, India
(Springer, 2021)The proximate, low-pressure N2 sorption, X-ray diffraction, and organic petrography parameters have been used to delineate the pore structures and fractal dimensions in the Barakar shales of Rajmahal Basin, India. The ... -
Spectral wave characteristics in the coastal waters of the central west coast of India during tropical cyclone Kyarr
(Springer, 2022)The study presents the assessment of spectral wave conditions in the coastal waters of the central west coast of India based on data from waverider buoys at two locations during the passage of tropical cyclone Kyarr. Due ... -
Observations of surface wave fields in the Arabian Sea under tropical cyclone Tauktae
(Elsevier, 2021)The characteristics of surface wave fields in the eastern Arabian Sea under tropical cyclone Tauktae were investigated using buoy data. On May 16, 2021, the cyclone passed within 96 km of the buoy location, and a maximum ... -
Biogeochemistry and trophic structure of a cold seep ecosystem, offshore Krishna-Godavari basin (east coast of India)
(Elsevier, 2022)Active cold seep sites associated with shallow gas hydrates were recently reported from Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin, off east coast of India. Benthic fauna including chemosymbiotic bivalves (genera Bathymodiolus, Acharax, ... -
Petrographical-geochemical characteristics and floral-faunal compositions of the Valia lignite deposits from Cambay Basin (Gujarat), western India
(Elsevier, 2021)Lignite-bearing sequence of the Valia mine, associated with the Cambay Shale Formation (early Eocene) in Cambay Basin of western Indian State Gujarat, has been studied. An integrated approach (including organic petrography, ... -
Long-range global transport and characterization of dust
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)Aerosols are tiny-suspended particles in the Earth�s atmosphere, which have the potential to modify atmospheric radiative forcing, cloud properties, and atmospheric chemistry. Aerosols are transported from one part of the ... -
Relations between marine biogeochemical indices and cloud properties over the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2021)Knowledge of relations among ocean biogeochemical and cloud properties will help to plan experiments necessary to understand the mechanisms and processes underlying the links between ocean and atmosphere interactions. Here, ... -
Nature, characterization and resource potential of littoral placer deposits of Goa, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2021)This paper presents an overview of the littoral heavy mineral placers from selected beaches of Goa, central west coast of India. The placer minerals are detailed in terms of their spatial and temporal distributions, mineral ... -
16S rRNA and hydrazine gene-based profiling of the Candidatus Scalindua community from the Arabian Sea hypoxic sediments
