Can we predict the frequency of cyclones over Bay of Bengal during October-December?
(India Meteorological Department, 2016)Forecasting cyclone activity in Australian (Nicholls, 1984; 1992) and southern Pacific (Revell and Goulter, 1986) regions with SO (Southern Oscillation) and the influence of El-Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on Bay of ... -
Variability in concentrations and fluxes of methane in the Indian estuaries
(Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 2016)In order to examine the fluxes of methane (CH4) from the Indian estuaries, measurements were carried out by collecting samples from 26 estuaries along the Indian coast during high discharge (wet) and low water discharge ... -
Role of teak and other hardwoods in shipbuilding as evidenced from literature and shipwrecks
(Current Science Association, 2016)One of the greatest achievements of man is the invention of watercraft which has been used from the prehistoric period onwards. Over the centuries, varieties of watercraft were designed and developed. Timber was the main ... -
Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to compare coral bank and seafloor seepage area-related characterization along the central Western continental margin of India
(IEEE, 2016)In this letter, the characterization of two coral banks is initiated employing the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) for multibeam bathymetry and associated backscatter data. The seafloor roughness was ... -
Is sea-level rising?
(Ocean Society of India, 2016)There has been considerable research on sea-level-rise caused by global warming. The various reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) made assessments of observed sea level rise and future projections. ... -
Bleaching and recovery patterns of corals in Palk Bay, India: An indication of bleaching resilient reef
(Elsevier, 2016)Frequency and severity of coral bleaching events increased in recent years affecting the recovery and resilience of corals. In this study, influence of bleaching and recovery patterns of corals on the resilience potential ... -
Geochemical and diatom records of recent changes in depositional environment of a tropical wetland, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2015)Two mudflat sediment cores collected from a sub-channel (S-61) and the main channel (S-60) of a tropical wetland, along central west coast of India, were investigated for recent changes in depositional environment using ... -
Petasaria heterolepis (Prymnesiaceae) from the southern Indian Ocean
(Micropaleontology Press, 2015)Sea surface and sub-surface (0-110m) water samples were collected from the Southern Indian Ocean between 39°S and 65°S (along ~48°E and 57.3°E) during the austral summer of 2010 which yielded Petasaria heterolepis Out of ... -
Trigonium curvatus sp nov and Trigonium arcticum (Bacillariophyceae) from the surface sediments of Prydz Bay, east Antarctica
(Micropaleontology Press, 2015)Here we propose a new species of genus Trigonium namely Trigonium curvatus from the surface sediments of coastal Antarctica A comparative study was done between Trigonium curvatus and Trigonium arcticum to find out the ... -
Towards a natural classification and backbone tree for Sordariomycete
(Springer, 2015)Sordariomycetes is one of the largest classes of Ascomycota and is characterised by perithecial ascomata and inoperculate unitunicate asci The class includes many important plant pathogens, as well as endophytes, saprobes, ... -
Status and review of health of Indian coral reefs
(Department of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries University of Kerala, 2015)Status of reef health incorporating species-wise cover of scleractinians has been reported covering 61 stations in 29 reef locations of the four major reef regions in India as of March 2011, alongside a review of available ... -
Differential bleaching of corals based on El Nino type and intensity in the Andaman Sea, southeast Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2016)The Andaman coral reef region experienced mass bleaching events during 1998 and 2010. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the El Nino in the coral reef bleaching events of the Andaman region. Both Nino ... -
Moult-inhibiting fusion protein augments while polyclonal antisera attenuate moult stages and duration in Penaeus monodon
(Elsevier, 2016)Moulting in crustaceans is regulated by moult-inhibiting hormone (MIH) of the CHH family neuropeptides. The inhibitory functions of MIH have pivotal roles in growth and reproduction of Penaeus monodon. In this study, we ... -
A maritime archaeological exploration along the Narmada estuary, west coast of India
(Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies, 2016)A coastal exploration along the estuary of the River Narmada yielded the evidence of a port in Bharuch. Several early historic sites are noted along the down-stream of the River Narmada. Interestingly, there is a temple ... -
