How accurate are satellite estimates of precipitation over the north Indian Ocean?
(Springer Vienna, 2018)Following the launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory in early 2014, motivated from the successful Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) satellite, an advanced and sophisticated global ... -
Dwarf foraminifera off Kerala, India: A response to mudbank formation
(Palaeontological Society of India, India, 2018)During the monsoon season, a mudbank forms off Alleppey, a coastal district in Kerala. The mudbank forms in the littoral waters within 15 m water depth. It is a small coastal zone with water being unaffected by monsoon ... -
Wave interactions with circular ice ridge embedded in level ice
(Elsevier, 2018)The present study examines the wave interactions with a circular elastic body trapped within a thin cover of sea ice of substantial extent. This configuration is an idealization of an ice ridge embedded in a field of level ... -
Application of Fluorescence in situ hybridization-Flow cytometry (FISH-FCM) technique to detect and quantify Vibrio cholerae population from different geographic regions
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)Rapid and species-specific detection, and quantification of pathogenic bacteria are fundamental for monitoring and assessment of the risk they pose to any ecosystem. The study employed Vibrio cholerae, a human pathogen ... -
Influence of ENSO Events on the Agulhas Leakage Region
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)This study explores the subsurface oceanic response to the El Ni�o Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the southern tropical Indian Ocean and Agulhas leakage region. The subsurface temperature and salinity responses of the ... -
Differential protein expression in a marine-derived Staphylococcus sp. NIOSBK35 in response to arsenic(III)
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)Peptide mass fingerprinting of Gram-positive marine-derived Staphylococcus cohnii &Hash& NIOSBK35 gave us an insight into the proteins involved in conferring arsenic resistance as well as the probable metabolic pathways ... -
Influence of river discharge on abundance and composition of phytoplankton in the western coastal Bay of Bengal during peak discharge period
(Elsevier, 2018)To understand the influence of river discharge on phytoplankton composition along western coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB), surface water samples were collected during peak discharge period. River discharge from the Ganges ... -
Bacterial diversity at a shallow-water hydrothermal vent (Espalamaca) in Azores Island
(Current Science Association & Indian Academy of Sciences, 2018)A low-temperature shallow-water hydrothermal vent field was discovered during the summer of 2010 in the Faial-Pico channel off the Espalamaca headland, Faial Island, Azores, Portugal, NE Atlantic. The present study analyses ... -
Ecological quality status evaluation of a monsoonal tropical estuary using benthic indices: comparison via a seasonal approach
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)The use of biotic indices has garnered attention during the last decade due to its extensive application in evaluating ecological quality status (EcoQS) of marine waters and estuaries. Three seasonal surveys were conducted ... -
Spatial variability of copepod species distribution in the eastern Arabian Sea in pre-monsoon conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)This work examines the spatial variability among mesozooplankton abundance and copepod species diversity along the continental margin prior to the onset of southwest monsoon in the eastern Arabian Sea during the year 2011. ... -
Enhanced carbon-sulfur cycling in the sediments of Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone center
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Biogeochemistry of oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) sediments, which are characterized by high input of labile organic matter, have crucial bearings on the benthic biota, gas and metal fluxes across the sediment-water interface, ... -
In-Situ Observations of Mudbanks of Southwest Coast of India and Mapping of its Extent in 2016
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2018)Formation of mudbanks in Alleppey, south-west coast of India is an annual phenomenon which is widely discussed, and many hypotheses have been proposed on its formation. The presence of fluid mud in a levitated condition ... -
Biobutanol Production Using Recombinant Microorganisms
(Springer International Publishing, Cham, 2018)This chapter reviews microbial biobutanol production and discusses the possibilities, remaining challenges, and prospects of biobutanol. The chapter also discusses the use of lignocellulosic biomass and development of ... -
Role of rotifers in microzooplankton community in a large monsoonal estuary (Cochin backwaters) along the west coast of India
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)The distribution ecology of microzooplankton in the Kochi (Cochin) backwaters has been presented. Emphasis has been given to the micro-rotifers present in the environment, considering they were a hitherto ignored component ... -
Last 42 ky sediment chemistry of oxygen deficient coastal region of the Bay of Bengal: implications for terrigenous input and monsoon variability
(Current Science Association & Indian Academy of Sciences, 2018)The discharge of terrigenous clastics by seasonal peninsular rivers is known to reach the upper slope of the eastern margin of India, which is presently impinged by the monsoon-sensitive intense oxygen minimum zone (OMZ); ... -
Biogeochemical Parameters: Oxygen,
(IOCCP- The International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project, 2017)A reduction in Dissolved Oxygen has been observed during the last few decades throughout the ocean, suggesting a general decrease in the ocean�s DO inventory. This is attributed to a number of factors, including warming ... -
Adaptations of fungi and fungal-like organisms for growth under reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations
(CRC Press, 2017)Our knowledge of the ecological roles of fungi in oxygen-depleted environments has been limited because of the lack of techniques for observing, isolating, and growing these fungi, and as a result they were thought to have ... -
Post decomposition effect of water hyacinth on marine phytoplankton - A laboratory study
