Comparison of long-term variability of sea surface temperature in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)Long-term variability of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the Arabian Sea (AS) and Bay of Bengal (BoB) during 1880–2010 is examined using all the available data sets of monthly SST, wind speed, incoming solar radiation, ... -
δ<sup>18</sup>O and salinity variability from the last glacial maximum to recent in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)Oxygen isotopes of surface, thermocline and bottom dwelling foraminifera were analysed from two well-dated Andaman Sea cores and combined with nine previously published records from the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Andaman Sea ... -
Influence of spatial competitor on the growth and regeneration of the marine sponge Cinachyrella cf. cavernosa (Porifera, demospongiae)
(Springer, 2016)Availability of suitable substratum is often a limiting factor for sessile organisms. We studied growth and regeneration of golf ball sponge Cinachyrella cf. cavernosa with and without its aggressive neighbour, soft coral ... -
Partitioning of metals in different binding phases of tropical estuarine sediments: importance of metal chemistry
(Springer, 2016)Distribution of metals in different binding phases of estuarine sediments provides chemically significant description of metal–sediment interactions. This study describes the influences of ligand field stabilization energy ... -
Estimating discharge from the Godavari river using ENVISAT, Jason-2, and SARAL/AltiKa radar altimeters
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The present work discusses the application of radar altimeters on-board Environmental Satellite (ENVISAT), Jason-2, and Satellite with Argos and AltiKa (SARAL) missions to estimate the Godavari River discharge draining ... -
Structure and function of nematode communities across the Indian western continental margin and its oxygen minimum zone
(Copernicus Publications, 2016)We studied patterns of nematode distribution along the western Indian continental margin to determine the influence of habitat heterogeneity and low oxygen levels on the community’s taxonomic and functional structure. A ... -
Ancient technology of jetties and anchorage system along the Saurastra coast, India
(Primus Books, 2016)This chapter tries to bring out the ancient technologies opted for the anchorages on jetties and ports of Saurastra, Gujrat -
ENSO modulation of interannual variability of dust aerosols over the northwest Indian ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)Mineral dust is known to affect many aspects of the climate of the north Indian Ocean (IO) However, what controls its interannual variability over this region is largely unknown The authors study the mechanism controlling ... -
Distribution, provenance and early diagenesis of major and trace metals in sediment cores from the Mandovi estuary, western India
(Elsevier, 2016)Major elements and trace metals were analyzed in four sediment cores recovered along a transect in the Mandovi estuary for their distribution, provenance and early diagenesis. The sediments were clayey silts in cores from ... -
North Atlantic climatic changes reflected in the Late Quaternary foraminiferal abundance record of the Andaman Sea, north-eastern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2016)Here, we present planktonic foraminiferal, benthic foraminiferal and other proxy profiles from well-dated sediment cores in the Andaman Sea showing changes in climate and oceanography at Dansgaard-Oeschger (D/O) and Heinrich ... -
Summer monsoon onset-induced changes of autotrophic pico- and nanoplankton in the largest monsoonal estuary along the west coast of India
(Springer, 2016)This study presents the response of autotrophic pico- and nanoplankton to southwest monsoon-associated hydrographical transformations in the Cochin backwaters (CBW), the largest monsoonal estuary along the west coast of ... -
Improving modeling of tides on the continental shelf off the west coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2016)Global tidal solutions are sometimes inaccurate in coastal regions. This is particularly true in some regions of the northern Indian Ocean, which are characterized by wide continental shelves and large tidal ranges. We ... -
The impact of dredging on residence time in the Amba estuary, west coast of India
(Springer, 2016)In this study, residence time (RT) and flushing characteristics of the Amba estuary were estimated using a 2D depth-averaged model driven by hydrodynamics resulting from the bathymetry changes due to dredging carried out ... -
Distribution and nature of sedimentary organic matter in a tropical estuary: An indicator of human intervention on environment
(Elsevier, 2016)Sediment texture controls the spatial distribution of sedimentary organic matter (SOM) in the Vembanad Lake. Influences of marine derived organic matter (OM) on SOM decreased inner-wards in the northern part of the lake. ... -
Observed internal tides and near-inertial waves on the continental shelf and slope off Jaigarh, central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2016)The characteristics of internal tides (ITs) and near-inertial waves (NIWs) on the continental shelf and slope off Jaigarh (17degreeN), central west coast of India were studied. Eight-month (March–October) long Acoustic ... -
Mercury-induced genotoxicity in marine diatom (Chaetoceros tenuissimus)
(Springer, 2016)In this paper, we present an evaluation of genotoxic responses in marine diatom, Chaetoceros tenuissimus, isolated from Kandla Creek (lat 23.03° N, long 70.22° E), Gujarat, India, in terms of impairment of DNA integrity ... -
A note on chemical composition and origin of ferromanganese oxide coated and uncoated pumice samples from central Indian Ocean basin
(Geological Society of India, 2016)Pumice are explosive volcanic product, occur as uncoated or coated with ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) oxide and resides in association with ferromanganese nodules on the seabed in Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). The older Fe-Mn ... -
Kahalalide F analogues from the mucous secretion of Indian sacoglossan mollusc Elysia ornata
