Assessment of existing sediment transport models for sand barrier dynamics under wave and currents
(IAHR-AIRH, 2014)The paper summarizes morphology changes over rippled sand barriers under wave and wave combined current of 27 laboratorial experiments. Data of 4 wave conditions (H=10cm, T=1s; H=12cm, T=1s; H=12cm, T=1.5s; H=14cm, T=1.5s) ... -
Microbial diversity in a mapping perspective : A review
(Mannargudi : Balavidya Ganapathy Educational and Charitable Trust, 2014)This review article briefly describes about tracing the microbial diversity by using advanced technologies viz. Remote sensing and Geographic Information System, which would help reduce the long term process of identification ... -
Influence of upper ocean stratification interannual variability on tropical cyclones
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)Climate modes, such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), influence Tropical Cyclones ~ (TCs) interannual activity through their effect on large-scale atmospheric environment. These climate modes also induce interannual ... -
About the role of westerly wind events in the possible development of an El Nino in 2014
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)Similarities between early 1997 and 2014 has prompted climate scientists to wonder if an El Niño matching the 1997 “El Niño of the century” could develop in 2014. Until April 2014, the equatorial Pacific exhibited positive ... -
Ocean feedback to tropical cyclones: Climatology and processes
(Springer, 2014)This study presents the first multidecadal and coupled regional simulation of cyclonic activity in the South Pacific. The long-term integration of state-of the art models provides reliable statistics, missing in usual event ... -
Oceanic mesoscale turbulence drives large biogeochemical interannual variability at middle and high latitudes
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)Observed phytoplankton interannual variability has been commonly related to atmospheric variables and climate indices. Here we showed that such relation is highly hampered by internal variability associated with oceanic ... -

Remote-sensing perspective and GPR subsurface perception on the growth of a recently emerged spit at Talashil coast, west coast of India
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)The growth as well as the internal structure of the recently emerged Talashil spit along the west coast of India was studied using multidate satellite images coupled with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) information. Decadal ... -
Population density, biomass and allometric relationship of shortneck clam Paphia malabarica (Chemnitz, 1782) from estuarine regions of Goa west coast of India
(Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, 2014)Studies on morphometry and length-weight relationship of Paphia malabarica were carried out in samples collected during March 2009 to March 2010 at two locations in Goa. Morphometric relationships between length-breadth ... -
Kocuria indica sp nov., isolated from sediment sample
(IUMS, 2014)A actinobacterial strain isolated from a sediment sample from Chorao Island, in Goa province India, and subjected to a taxonomic investigation. The isolate, designated NIO-1021T, was a Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile ... -
Late Holocene (~ 2 ka) East Asian Monsoon variations inferred from river discharge and climate interrelationships in the Pearl River Estuary
(Elsevier, 2014)A sediment core from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) was analyzed for grain size and organic geochemistry parameters (TOC and δ13C<sub>org</sub>). The results showed that high mean grain-size value and increased sand content ... -
Enhanced methane flux event and sediment dispersal pattern in the Krishna–Godavari offshore basin: Evidences from rock magnetic techniques
(Elsevier, 2014)Detailed rock magnetic measurements such as susceptibility (X), susceptibility of anhysteric remanent magnetization (X<sub>ARM</sub>), saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM), soft-isothermal remanent magnetization ... -
PCR detection of ansA from marine bacteria and its sequence characteristics from Bacillus tequilensis NIOS4
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co., 2014)As many as 71 marine bacterial DNA extracts were PCR screened for L-asparaginase (ansA), a key gene in anti-cancer molecular-searches. Over 62% (44) of them were positive for ansA gene. The positive cultures were from ... -
Deep-sea nematode assemblages from a commercially important polymetallic nodule area in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)The Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) is an important area for prospective mining for polymetallic nodules. However, little is known about the biodiversity or community structure of abyssal benthic assemblages in the area. ... -
Discovery of a new subclass of alpha-conotoxins in the venom of Conus australis
(Elsevier, 2014)Cone snails (Conus sp.) are poisonous animals that can be found in all oceans where they developed a venomous strategy to prey or to defend. The venom of these species contains an undeniable source of unique and potent ... -
Production of bioethanol from papaya and pineapple wastes using marine associated microorganisms
(Oriental Scientific, 2014)In the era of declining fossil fuel resources, the World is in urgent need to look into the possibilities of alternate energies which shall sustain the energy resources. Among the alternative energies, biofuels such as ... -
Bacterial diversity in relatively pristine and anthropogenically-influenced mangrove ecosystems (Goa, India)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2014)To appreciate differences in benthic bacterial community composition at the relatively pristine Tuvem and the anthropogenically-influenced Divar mangrove ecosystems in Goa, India, parallel tag sequencing of the V6 region ... -
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 ...
