Epiphytic marine pigmented bacteria : A prospective source of natural antioxidants
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia; Brazil, 2015)Awareness on antioxidants and its significance in human healthcare has increased many folds in recent time. Increased demand requisite on welcoming newer and alternative resources for natural antioxidants. Seaweed associated ... -
Bacterial diversity associated with Cinachyra cavernosa and Haliclona pigmentifera, cohabiting sponges in the coral reef ecosystem of Gulf of Mannar, southeast coast of India
(PLOS One, 2015)Sponges are abundant, diverse and functionally important organisms of coral reef ecosystems. Sponge-associated microorganisms have been receiving greater attention because of their significant contribution to sponge biomass, ... -
An overview of maritime archaeological studies in India
(Kaveri Book Service; Ansari Road, New Delhi; India, 2015) -
Role of marine pollutants in impairment of DNA integrity.
(OMICS Publishing Group, 2015)In this article, we present an overview on the role of marine pollutants in impairment of DNA integrity in marine gastropods exposed to xenobiotics released from various sources into the coastal ecosystem. We provide an ... -
Tidal influence on the diel vertical migration pattern of zooplankton in a tropical monsoonal Estuary
(Springer, 2015)Monsoonal estuaries, located along the coastline of the Indian subcontinent, differ from other estuaries by their time dependence on the salinity characteristics. Effective sustenance and retention of the mesozooplankton ... -
Evolution and sub-surface characteristics of a sea-surface temperature filament and front in the northeastern Arabian Sea during November–December 2012
(Elsevier, 2015)We used satellite-derived sea-surface-temperature (SST) data along with in-situ data collected along a meridional transect between 18.85 and 20.25°N along 69.2°E to describe the evolution of an SST filament and front during ... -
Interactive effect of elevated pCO<sub>2</sub> and temperature on the larval development of an inter-tidal organism, Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Elsevier, 2015)The projected increase in the pCO<sub>2</sub> and temperature level by the end of the 21st century, is expected to influence the life cycle of marine invertebrates. Experiments were carried out with an acorn barnacle, ... -
Ordinary chondritic micrometeorites from the Indian Ocean
(The Meteoritical Society, 2015)Extraterrestrial particulate materials on the Earth can originate in the form of collisional debris from the asteroid belt, cometary material, or as meteoroid ablation spherules. Signatures that link them to their parent ... -
Oxygen isotopic composition of relict olivine grains in cosmic spherules: Links to chondrules from carbonaceous chondrites
(Elsevier, 2015)Most olivine relict grains in cosmic spherules selected for the present study are pristine and have not been disturbed during their atmospheric entry, thereby preserving their chemical, mineralogical and isotopic compositions. ... -
Plate-tectonic evolution of the deep ocean basins adjoining the western continental margin of India - A proposed model for the early opening scenario
(Springer, 2015)The available plate-tectonic evolution models suggest that the deep ocean basins adjoining the western continental margin of India have evolved largely due to break-up and dispersal of India, Seychelles and Madagascar ... -
Response of a natural Phytoplankton community from the Qingdao coast (Yellow Sea, China) to variable CO<sub>2</sub> levels over a short-term incubation experiment
(Current Science Association, 2015)Since marine phytoplankton play a vital role in stabilizing earth’s climate by removing significant amount of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>, their responses to increasing CO<sub>2</sub> levels are indeed vital to address. The ... -
Identifying the source of tar balls deposited along the beaches of Goa in 2013 and comparing with historical data collected along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)Deposition of oil residues, also known as tar balls, is a seasonal phenomenon, and it occurs only in the southwest monsoon season along the west coast of India. This has become a serious environmental issue, as Goa is a ... -
Sources, vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons in sediments from the Mandovi Estuary, west coast of India
(University of Tehran, 2015)The Mandovi estuary is highly influenced by mining and tourism related activities in the central west coast of India. Vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) in three sediment cores (D1, C1 and ... -
Detection and monitoring of super sandstorm and its impacts on Arabian Sea-Remote sensing approach
(Elsevier, 2015)The present study addresses an intense sandstorm event over the Persian Gulf and its transport over the Arabian Sea region and the Indian sub-continent using satellite observations and measurements. MODIS data are used to ... -
Re-examination of geophysical data off Northwest India: Implications to the Late Cretaceous plate tectonics between India and Africa.
(Elsevier, 2015)The Gop and Laxmi Basins lying off Northwest India have been assigned ambiguous crustal types and evolution mechanisms. The Chagos-Laccadive Ridge (CLR) complex lying along the southwest coast of India has been attributed ... -
Synechococcus as an indicator of trophic status in the Cochin backwaters, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)Eutrophication is a major problem in coastal water bodies. Information about the trophic status of water bodies will enable proper management of coastal ecosystems. In this regard, biological organisms which are sensitive ... -
Non-destructive foraminiferal paleoclimatic proxies: A brief insight
(Indian National Science Academy, 2015)Non-Destructive Foraminiferal Paleoclimatic Proxies: A Brief Insight The knowledge of past climate can help us to understand imminent climatic changes. Oceans are the vast archives of past climate. Various indirect techniques ... -
Organic matter - A key factor in controlling mercury distribution in estuarine sediment
