Benthic ecological mapping of the Ayeyarwady delta shelf off Myanmar, using foraminiferal assemblages
(The Palaeontological Society of India, 2014)Information on benthic ecologies is a prerequisite to evaluate marine resources, their management and monitoring the impact arising from their exploitation. In the present study, benthic foraminiferal distributions from ... -
Salinity measurements collected by fishermen reveal a ``River in the Sea`` flowing along the eastern coast of India
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)Being the only tropical ocean bounded by a continent to the north, the Indian Ocean is home to the most powerful monsoon system on Earth. Monsoonal rains and winds induce huge river discharges and strong coastal currents ... -
Psychrotrophic metal tolerant bacteria for mobilisation of metals in Antarctic waters
(LIGHTS Research Foundation, 2012)Cold tolerant psychrotrophic bacteria abound in the Antarctic waters. While Antarctic krills are known to concentrate heavy metals at ppm levels, psychrotrophic bacteria from Antarctic fresh and marine waters have been ... -
High-resolution gulf water skin temperature estimation using TIR/ASTER
(Excel India Publishers, 2012)Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is the highest-resolution multi-spectral thermal infrared (TIR) sensor currently available on a polar-orbiting spacecraft which allows surface temperature ... -
Low genetic variation suggest single stock of Kawakawa Euthynnus affinis (Cantor, 1849) along the Indian coast
(CFRI publisher, 2012)Kawakawa Euthynnus affinis is an epipelagic migratory tuna species, widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region. It constitutes the largest tuna fishery in Indian waters. In present ... -
A note on Arabian Sea warm pool and its possible relation with monsoon onset over Kerala
(IJSRP publisher, 2012)The possible relation of the Arabian Sea Warm Pool (ASWP) with monsoon onset over Kerala is studied by utilizing the TRMM Microwave Imager data during the period 2007-2011 (5 years). The ASWP is a part of the Indian Ocean ... -
Attenuation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence by marine invertebrate–derived Streptomyces sp.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2012)The study aimed to discover quorum sensing (QS) inhibitors from marine sponge-derived actinomycetes and analyse its inhibitory activities against QS-mediated virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Seventy-two ... -
Antibacterial activity of mangrove leaf extracts against human pathogens
(Medknow publisher, 2012)The antibacterial activity of leaf extract of mangroves, namely, Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia alba and Exoecaria agallocha from Chorao island, Goa was investigated against human bacterial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, ... -
A ~400 ka supra-Milankovitch cycle in the Na, Mg, Pb, Ni, and Co records of a ferromanganese crust from the Vityaz fracture zone, central Indian ridge.
(Copernicus Publications, 2010)A approx. 400 ka (kilo years) supra-Milankovitch cycle, recorded in the sodium, magnesium, lead, nickel and cobalt contents of a 32mm thick ferromanganese crust from Vityaz fracture zone, central Indian ridge is reported ... -
Near-equatorial convective regimes over the Indian Ocean as revealed by synergistic analysis of satellite observations.
(World Scientific Publishing, 2010)We examine the organization and temporal evolution of deep convection in relation to the low level flow over the Indian Ocean by a synergistic analysis of several satellite datasets for wind, rainfall, Outgoing Longwave ... -
Role of grounded ship 'MV River Princess' in triggering erosion: A case study from Candolim Sinquerim Coast, Goa.
(Centre for Earth Science Studies, 2010)Multi-temporal satellite imageries of 1997, 2001 and 2006, wave model results and field observations were used to evaluate effect of the grounded vessel MV River Princess. Erosion was triggered along the Candolim-Sinquerim ... -
Restoration on degraded sand dunes on flattened beaches of Goa: Implication for coastal management.
(Resources and Management, 2010)This paper describes how an environment friendly technique can curtail loss of beach sand due to wind, and proposes how damaged sand dunes can be regenerated. -
Formation of anoxia and denitrification in the bottom waters of a tropical estuary, southwest coast of India.
(Copernicus Publications, 2010)Hydrographic characteristics of the southwest coast of India and its adjoining Cochin backwaters (CBW) were studied during the summer monsoon. Anomalous formation of anoxia and denitrification were observed in the bottom ... -
Upper ocean variability of the equatorial Indian Ocean and its relation to chlorophyll pigment concentration.
(ESA Publication, 2010)Hydrographic data from the upper ocean together with atmospheric data and satellite data are used to understand the variability of upper ocean and its relation to surface chlorophyll in the Equatorial Indian Ocean. The sea ... -
A decade of physical and biogeochemical measurements in the Northern Indian Ocean.
(ESA Publication, 2010)The northern Indian Ocean consists of two tropical basins (Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal) and the equatorial region that comes under the influence of monsoonal wind reversal. We present the results from three Indian ... -
Estimating of gas transfer velocity using triple isotopes of dissolved oxygen.
(Springer, 2010)The atmosphere-ocean exchange of climatically important gases is determined by the transfer velocity (k) and concentration gradient across the interface. Based on observations in the northwestern subarctic Pacific and ... -
