The Oxygen Isotope Compositions of Large Numbers of Small Cosmic Spherules: Implications for Their Sources and the Isotopic Composition of the Upper Atmosphere
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020)Cosmic spherules are micrometeorites that melt at high altitude as they enter Earth’s atmosphere and their oxygen isotope compositions are partially or completely inherited from the upper atmosphere, depending on the ... -
In vivo evaluation of microbial cocktail of microalgae-associated bacteria in larval rearing from zoea I to mysis I of the Indian white shrimp, Penaeus indicus
(Springer, 2020)The present work aimed to explore the efficacy of microbial cocktail of microalgae-associated bacteria, such as Alteromonas sp. Mab 25, Labrenzia sp. Mab 26, Marinobacter sp. Mab 18 and Marinobacter sp. Mab 34, on survival, ... -
Increased Ventilation of the Northern Indian Ocean during the Last Deglaciation
(Springer, 2020)This paper gives an overview of the deep-water ventilation studies carried out over the world oceans using radiocarbon. There is a consensus that aged water mass existing in the abyssal ocean during the last glacial, ... -
A new species of the genus Corynophrya (Ciliophora: Suctorea) from the west coast of India, Arabian Sea
(CNRS - Station Biologique de Roscoff - ABiMS, Roscoff, France, 2020)The article presents the description of a new species of the suctorian genus Corynophrya inhabiting the body surface (cuticle) of harpacticoid copepod from the west coast of India, Arabian Sea. The diagnosis of the genus ... -
Environmental influence on the picophytoplankton community structure in the central and northern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2020)The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is a low productive, oligotrophic ecosystem. The picophytoplankton (Pico; < 3mu m) play a significant role in the biogeochemistry of such ecosystems. The information on the Pico is exiguous from ... -
Magnetic Mineral Diagenesis in a Newly Discovered Active Cold Seep Site in the Bay of Bengal
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020)Diagenetically formed magnetic minerals at marine methane seep sites are potential archive of past fluid flow and could provide important constraints on the evolution of past methane seepage dynamics and gas hydrate formation ... -
Diversity and Functional Patterns of Benthic Amphipods in the Coralline Intertidal Zones of a Marine National Park, India
(Frontiers, 2020)Coralline intertidal habitats of marine protected areas (MPAs) are important model systems to investigate species diversity and ecological functioning of benthic communities. Spatial variability of amphipod species composition ... -
Massive coral bleaching in the patchy reef of Grande Island, along the eastern Arabian Sea during the 2015/16 global bleaching event
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)The 2014-2017 mass bleaching event is considered the third massive coral global bleaching event in recorded history. Based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration�s (NOAA) Coral Reef Watch (CRW) product ... -
Terrestrial and marine bioluminescent organisms from the Indian subcontinent: a review
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2020)The inception of bioluminescence by Harvey (1952) has led to a Nobel Prize to Osamu Shimomura (Chemistry, 2008) in biological research. Consequently, in recent years, bioluminescence-based assays to monitor toxic pollutants ... -
Provenance tracing of long-range transported dust over the Northeastern Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon
(Elsevier BV, 2020)One of the major pathways for dust supply to surface water of the Arabian Sea is via wet deposition, which is significant during southwest Monsoon (June-September). Aeolian dust supplies macro and micronutrients, which can ... -
Sub-surface magma movement inferred from low-frequency seismic events in the off-Nicobar region, Andaman Sea
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)Monitoring volcanic activity along the submarine volcanoes that are usually induced by subsurface magmatism is a challenge. We present fresh set of Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) data that shows geophysical evidence ... -
Bio-Decolorization of Synthetic Dyes by a Halophilic Bacterium Salinivibrio sp.
(Frontiers, 2020)Synthetic dyes, extensively used in various industries, act as pollutants in the aquatic environment, and pose a significant threat to living beings. In the present study, we assessed the potential of a halophilic bacterium ... -
Increased cyclone destruction potential in the Southern Indian Ocean
(IOP Publishing, 2020)The present study examines the role of the Southern Indian Ocean (SIO) warming on the cyclone destruction potential or Power Dissipation Index (PDI) during two contrasting periods of 1980-1998 and 1999-2016. The PDI in the ... -
Geomicrobial dynamics of Trans-Himalayan sulfur-borax spring system reveals mesophilic bacteria's resilience to high heat
(Springer, 2020)Geomicrobiology of sulfur-boron-dominated, neutral-pH hydrothermal systems was revealed in a Trans-Himalayan spring named Lotus Pond, located at 4436 m, in Puga Valley, Ladakh (India), where water boils at 85°C. Water ... -
Montmorillonite and phosphorus enrichment in sediments as the causative factor for mud bank formation along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Mud banks of Kerala (southwest coast of India) are renowned for immense fish harvesting during the southwest monsoon season. Although inclement weather and turbulent waves during monsoon prevent vessels sailing into the ... -
Impact of remote equatorial winds and local mesoscale eddies on the existence of "River in the Sea" along the East coast of India inferred from satellite SMAP
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020)The Northern Bay of Bengal (NBOB) exhibits extreme salinity stratification caused by intense summer monsoon rainfall and associated river discharge. This accumulated fresh water plume in NBOB is believed to be transported ... -
Current asymmetry and its implications for morphological changes in Vembanad Lake, the second largest wetland ecosystem in India
(Elsevier, 2020)Flow dynamics are a key part of the physical processes that drive the sediment transport in an aquatic system, affecting depositional processes and leading to landform evolution. The current asymmetry (CA) noted in Vembanad ... -
A highly diverse living benthic foraminiferal assemblage in the oxygen deficient zone of the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2020)The exchange of seawater between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, creates a strong seasonality in the southeastern Arabian Sea, including the oxygen deficient zone (ODZ) at intermediate depth. Here, we assess the ... -
