Evaluation of wave growth and bottom friction parameterization schemes in the SWAN based on wave modelling for the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)In the present study, SWAN wave model is nested with Wavewatch 3 to reproduce waves off the central west coast of India using ERA-5 winds. The sensitivity of SWAN wave model was tested with different wave growth and bottom ... -
Role of shamal and easterly winds on the wave characteristics off Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
(Elsevier, 2021)Waves in the Arabian Gulf (Gulf) are dominated by shamal winds during winter and early summer. Although wave characteristics in the Gulf are broadly studied, features associated with various wind systems are not explicitly ... -
Impact of lockdown on the environmental quality along the Indian coast and a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2021)The COVID-19 lockdown significantly improved the global environmental quality by restricted anthropogenic activities. We aimed to understand the response of Indian coastal environmental quality and an estuarine (Zuari ... -
Influence of hydrological factors on bacterial community structure in a tropical monsoonal estuary in India
(Springer, 2021)In the present study, we analyzed variations in bacterial community structure along a salinity gradient in a tropical monsoonal estuary (Cochin estuary [CE]), on the southwest coast of India, using Illumina next-generation ... -
Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercially important bottom dwelling finfishes and shellfish of the Vembanad Lake, India
(Elsevier, 2021)This paper characterize microplastics (MPs) in the heavily urbanized, brackish water Vembanad Lake (India), focussing on some commercially important bottom-feeding fishes and shellfish (Arius maculatus, Etroplus suratensis, ... -
Southwest monsoon-driven changes in the phytoplankton community structure in the central Arabian Sea (2017-2018): After two decades of JGOFS
(Elsevier, 2021)The Arabian Sea, a land-locked low latitude high productive oceanic province, is characterized by strong seasonality due to the reversal of monsoon winds. "Open ocean upwelling" occurs during the southwest monsoon (SWM) ... -
Technology demonstration of a novel seabed resident event-driven profiling system
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2021)The seabed resident event-driven profiling system (SREP) was deployed in the northeastern Arabian Sea for winter convention studies. SREP is an autonomous profiling system consisting of two parts: a stationary seabed unit ... -
Octocoral colonies as spawning ground for the cuttlefish Sepiella inermis (Cephalopoda: Sepiidae)
(Springer, 2021)Corals are key ecosystem engineers, supporting marine biodiversity by providing nursery ground and living habitat. Among corals, octocorals are a diverse group of soft corals that are an integral part of reef ecosystems. ... -
Distribution pattern of the benthic meiofaunal community along the depth gradient of the Western Indian continental margin, including the OMZ and abyssal plain
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)The continental margin harbors a variety of habitats that support incredible biodiversity and the function of their oceans' ecosystems. The meiofauna is considered a significant component of the benthic faunal community ... -
First record of cold-seep induced enhanced water column methane concentrations from the EEZ of India
(Springer, 2021)A scientific expedition was carried out onboard RV Sindhu Sadhana (12th to 23rd February, 2020) for gas hydrate/cold-seep exploration in Mannar basin, northern Indian Ocean. We observed for the first time gas flares in the ... -
Integrated analysis of magnetic, gravity and multichannel seismic reflection data along a transect southeast of Sri Lanka, Bay of Bengal: New constraints
(Elsevier, 2021)Integrated analysis of high quality magnetic, gravity, bathymetry and multichannel seismic reflection data along a 1300 km long transect SK101 between the DSDP218/IODP1455 and ODP718 sites reveals the structure and ... -
230Th derived glacial to Holocene sediment fluxes in the southern Arabian Sea: insights into carbonate sedimentation
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2021)We present a record of glacial to Holocene 230Thxs normalized sediment mass fluxes for a site located on the eastern flank of the Carlsberg Ridge, Arabian Sea to evaluate carbonate burial, preservation and surface ocean ... -
Long-term assessment of onshore and offshore wind energy potentials of Qatar
(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2021)Exploitation of conventional energy resources has caused a deliberate increase in the emitted carbon in the atmosphere, which catalyzes global warming trends. This is a matter of concern, especially in Qatar, where fossil ... -
Post depositional changes of sedimentary organic matter influence chromium speciation in continental slope sediments - A case study
(Elsevier, 2021)Influences of post depositional changes of sedimentary organic matter (SOM) on chromium (Cr) speciation in continental slope sediments from the east and west coast of India are presented in this study. Average concentrations ... -
Raman-XPS spectroscopic investigation of heavy mineral sands along Indian coast
(Springer-Nature, 2021)The beach sands of the Indian coast are bestowed with strategic minerals like ilmenite, monazite, rutile, sillimanite, garnet, and zircon. In order to bring out the importance of these heavy minerals, we present detailed ... -
Spatial variations in dissolved inorganic nutrients in the groundwaters along the Indian coast and their export to adjacent coastal waters
(Springer, 2021)Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) is one of the main external nutrient sources to the coastal waters. The concentrations of nutrients in groundwaters are a few folds higher than that of adjacent coastal waters; therefore, ... -
Short term response of plankton community to nutrient enrichment in central eastern Arabian Sea: Elucidation through mesocosm experiments
(Elsevier, 2021)Oligotrophic waters (OW), generally favour longer food chain facilitated by the microbial loop. In such ecosystems, physical mixing (e.g. upwelling, and winter convection) inject nutrients and propagules from subsurface ... -
Response of coastal phytoplankton to upwelling induced hydrological changes in the Alappuzha mud bank region, southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)The response of phytoplankton community to the co-existing events of coastal upwelling and mud banks in the nearshore waters of Alappuzha (15 m depth), located in the southwest coast of India from April to November 2016, ... -
Species substitutions revealed through genotyping: Implications of traceability limitations and unregulated fishing
(Elsevier, 2021)Trade flow of fisheries sector is very complex with several intermediaries and it is difficult to trace back the origin of a seafood commodity. Thus, traceability limitations could cause safety and quality issues in the ... -
