Mudbank off Alleppey, India: A bane for foraminifera but not so for carbon burial
(Elsevier, 2018)Calm conditions and extensive fishing, during monsoon season in the mudbank off Alleppey (Kerala), India creates a unique environment, associated with high suspended particulate matter. The effect of processes associated ... -
Crustal underplating and effective elastic plate thickness of the Laxmi Ridge, northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2018)Laxmi Ridge, a prominent basement high feature with negative gravity anomaly in the northern Arabian Sea, is generally considered as stretched continental crust. However, recently it is proposed that the ridge could be an ... -
Current Status and Decadal Growth Analysis of Krishna - Godavari Delta Regions using Remote Sensing
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2018)Demarcation and continuous monitoring of shorelines are essential for understanding the dynamic nature and processes of the coastal areas. Shorelines of delta regions are ecologically and economically sensitive and dynamic. ... -
Ballast Water Risk Assessment: the Indian experience
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)The Ballast Water Risk Assessment serves as a �Decision Support System� for any given port to take appropriate ballast water management actions. Risk assessment involves collation of data from the ballast water reporting ... -
Sea Level Interannual Variability Along the West Coast of India
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)Interannual sea level anomalies (SLA), and the related thermocline variations, along the west coast of India (WCI) strongly impact the ecosystems, fisheries, and potentially the monsoon rainfall. Here we investigate the ... -
Efflux Pump-Mediated Quorum Sensing: New Avenues for Modulation of Antimicrobial Resistance and Bacterial Virulence
(Springer, Singapore, 2018)Bacterial pathogenesis is frequently enhanced by virulence mechanisms that facilitate growth. Such virulence factors include biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. One primary resistance mechanism ... -
Population characteristics of Villorita cyprinoides in Vembanad Lake, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)The Vembanad Lake system (VLS), the largest Ramsar site in India, faces a major ecological crisis because of reclamation. The lake ranks first in the production of the black clam (Villorita cyprinoides). In this study, we ... -
Macroalgal Functional Genomics: A Missing Area
(Springer International Publishing, Cham, 2017)Functional genomics may be defined as the study of deciphering the function and regulation of genes for various traits. Functional genomics has made significant advances in decoding functionality of gene(s) and their ... -
Numerical simulation of the observed near-surface East India Coastal Current on the continental slope
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)We simulate the East India Coastal Current (EICC) using two numerical models (resolution� 0.1-�0.1-),� an oceanic general circulation model (OGCM) called Modular Ocean Model and a simpler, linear, continuously stratified ... -
Role of epibiotic diatoms isolated from the barnacle shell in the cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)Barnacle shell (BSh)-associated bacteria, their culture supernatants (CS), and biofilm exopolymers (BE) are known to induce cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite. Besides bacteria, the BSh also harbors diatoms. However, ... -
Evidences of CO2 Leakage During the Last Deglaciation: The Need to Understand Deep-ocean Carbonate Chemistry of the Arabian Sea
(Geological Society of India, India, 2018)It is generally accepted view that the ventilation of Southern Ocean during the last deglaciation was the key factor in atmospheric CO2 rise. Further, other sites were identified, like the western equatorial Pacific, the ... -
Response of phytoplankton to heavy cloud cover and turbidity in the northern Bay of Bengal
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)An interesting physiological response of phytoplankton to large fluctuations in underwater photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) levels in the northern Bay of Bengal has been presented here. This study is primarily ... -
Bathymetry and sediments on the carbonate platform off western India: Significance of Halimeda bioherms in carbonate sedimentation
(Springer India, 2018)Bathymetry across the carbonate platform off western India indicated small-size pinnacles and their lateral coalescence into 2 -6-m high mounds landward, and linear elongated carbonate ridges and troughs, mounds and banks ... -
Depositional environment of the surface sediments in Central Indian Basin (CIB), Indian Ocean, between 8�-18�S latitude and 72�-79�E longitude, based on their geochemical characteristics
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)To establish the depositional environment of the surface sediments in the Central Indian Basin, Indian Ocean, major and trace element compositions of different sediment types were studied. The study area composed of ... -
Influence of river discharge on zooplankton diet in the Godavari estuary (Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean)
(Italian Association of Limnology and Oceanology, Pavia, Italy, 2018)In estuaries, detrital (i.e., non-living) organic matter (OM) contributes significantly to the particulate organic matter (POM) pool and we hypothesize that it may be a major source of estuarine zooplankton diet. To test ... -
A new insight to vulnerability of Central Odisha coast, India using analytical hierarchical process (AHP) based approach
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)The occurrence of the Phailin, Hudhud cyclones in the Bay of Bengal region highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of this area from the coastal vulnerability perspective. The increase in the magnitude and ... -
Impact of local and remote winds on the shelf circulation off the central west coast of India
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)A linear coastal-trapped-wave (CTW) model is used to examine the effects of large-scale winds, with time scale ranging from a few days to a few weeks, on the West India Coastal Current (WICC), particularly on the shelf off ... -
Nitrification in intertidal sponge Cinachyrella cavernosa
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)The nitrification process in different sections of the sponges remains unresolved, despite several studies on the nitrogen cycling pathways in the tissues of temperate and Arctic sponges. In this study, the abundance, ... -
Geochemical cycling during subduction initiation: Evidence from serpentinized mantle wedge peridotite in the south Andaman ophiolite suite
