Post-breakup deformations in the Bay of Bengal: Response of crustal strata to the sediment load
(Springer, 2020)Passive continental margins are tectonically inactive, but a few of them including the East India Passive Margin (EIPM) show evidences for post-breakup deformations. This unusual process prompted us to investigate the ... -
Report of ciliate epibionts (Ciliophora) on meiobenthic invertebrates from Indian coast near Karwar, Karnataka

Cryptic roles of tetrathionate in the sulfur cycle of marine sediments: microbial drivers and indicators
(Copernicus Publications, European Geosciences Union, Germany, 2020)To explore the potential role of tetrathionate in the sedimentary sulfur cycle, population ecology of microorganisms capable of metabolizing this polythionate was revealed at 15-30 cm resolution along two, ~3 m long, cores ... -
Quantifying the benefits of non-linear methods for global statistical hindcasts of tropical cyclones intensity
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)While Tropical Cyclones (TCs) track forecasts have become increasingly accurate over recent decades, intensity forecasts from both numerical models and statistical schemes have been trailing behind. Most operational ... -
Elevated turbidity and dissolved manganese in deep water column near 10�47�S Central Indian Ridge: studies on hydrothermal activities
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2020)The deep water in the ridge segment between 10°18'S and 10°57'S of northern Central Indian Ridge was surveyed with CTD and AUV for seafloor hydrothermal activities. During the survey, 25 CTD hydrocasts were made, and ... -
Nitrogen and carbon cycling over the western continental shelf of India during seasonal anoxia: A stable isotope approach
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)The western continental shelf of India (eastern Arabian Sea) houses the world�s largest seasonally-occurring coastal low-oxygen zone. The natural abundance of nitrogen and oxygen isotopes in dissolved nitrate were measured ... -
Biogenesis of silver nanoparticles by marine bacteria Labrenzia sp. Mab 26 associated with Isochrysis galbana
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2020)The metabolic or chemical nature of algal-bacterial interactions has opened up unexpected new ways for finding novel microbes with potential for several biotechnological applications. Silver nanoparticles (AgNps) possess ... -
Geochemical characterization of modern aeolian dust over the Northeastern Arabian Sea: Implication for dust transport in the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2020)The Arabian Sea, one of the most biologically productive oceanic regions, receive significant amount of nutrients through aeolian dust deposition which have potential to modulate surface water biogeochemical processes. ... -

(Szczecin University Press, Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Szczecinskiego, Poland, 2019)Rhombognathus scutulatus Bartsch is reported here from Goa, India. World distribution of this species is also provided. -
A rock magnetic perspective of gas hydrate occurrences in a high-energy depositional system in the Krishna-Godavari basin, Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2020)We conducted a detailed rock magnetic study complemented by sedimentological and mineralogical methods on a 177.2-m-long sediment core of Hole NGHP-01-14A to constrain the influence of high-energy depositional environment ... -
Evaluation of Physical and Environmental Parameters of the Indian Sundarbans
(Springer , Singapore, 2020)Deltas and associated coastlines are amongst the most rapidly changing landscape features, as these are subjected to physical, geological, biological and environmental threats. One of the largest deltas of the world, ... -
Controls on greigite preservation in a gas hydrate system of the Krishna-Godavari basin, Bay of Bengal
(Springer Verlag, 2020)Shallow sediments across large parts of Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin offshore east central Indian contain abundant methane and gas hydrates. In this study, we carried out rock-magnetic and transmission electron microscope ... -
Contrasting sulfidization in the turbidite and hemipelagic sediments of Bengal Fan
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)We report for the first time, contrasting sulfidization profiles in a sedimentary sequence comprising of clay-silt turbidites and hemipelagic dominated deposits in a channel-levee complex of the middle Bengal Fan. The ... -

A revisit to the regulation of oxygen minimum zone in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2020)Occurrence of intense oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) is known in the Bay of Bengal (BoB), but it has been recently reported to have become more acute and is at its tipping point. Here, we show that the intensification of OMZ ... -
Building Capacity and Resilience Against Diseases Transmitted via Water Under Climate Perturbations and Extreme Weather Stress
