Implications of sea level rise scenarios on land use /land cover classes of the coastal zones of Cochin, India..
(Elsevier, 2015)Physical responses of the coastal zones in the vicinity of Cochin, India due to sea level rise are investigated based on analysis of inundation scenarios. Quantification of potential habitat loss was made by merging the ... -
Atmospheric outflow of nutrients to the Bay of Bengal: Impact of anthropogenic sources..
(Elsevier, 2015)The air–sea deposition of nutrients (N, P and Fe) to the oceanic regions locateddownwind of pollution sources in south and south-east Asia is gaining considerable attention in the present-day scenario of climate change. ... -
Anaerobic nitrification–denitrification mediated by Mn-oxides in meso-tidal sediments: Implications for N2 and N2O production..
(Elsevier, 2015)Field measurements in the Arcachon Bay (southwest France) indicated anaerobic production of NOx via nitrification, which was coupled to the reduction of Mn-oxides. To prove the occurrence of this process, laboratory microcosm ... -
CHEMTAX-derived phytoplankton community structure associated with temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea..
(Elsevier, 2015)Remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll associated with fronts and filaments are used in India to generate potential fishing zone (PFZ) advisories in the north eastern Arabian Sea (NEAS). However, ... -
The distribution of the chaetognath population and its interaction with environmental characteristics in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.
(Taylor and Francis, 2015)The Bay of Bengal (BoB) and the Arabian Sea (AS), the two major ocean basins in the north Indian Ocean, share similarities in geographical and meteorological characteristics but differ in hydrographic characteristics and ... -
Application of hybrid techniques (self-organizing map and fuzzy algorithm) using backscatter data for segmentation and fine-scale roughness characterization of seepage-related seafloor along the western continental margin of India
(IEEE, 2015)In this paper, a seafloor characterization technique to unravel the number of data classes using multibeam echo-sounding backscatter data has been demonstrated. An application of self-organizing maps (SOMs) to backscatter ... -
Variations in the inorganic carbon components in the thermal fronts during winter in the Northeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)In order to examine the variations in inorganic carbon components in the thermal fronts, seven fronts have been sampled in the northeastern Arabian Sea during winter. The sea surface temperature (SST) was cooler by 0.2 to ... -
Nioella nitratireducens gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Rhodobacteraceae isolated from Azorean Island
(Springer, 2015)A novel Gram-negative, non-spore forming, rod-shaped aerobic bacterium, designated SSW136<sup>T</sup>, was isolated from a surface seawater sample collected at Espalamaca (in Faial Island), Azores. Growth was found to occur ... -
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and n-Alkanes in beaked sea snake Enhydrina schistose (Daudin, 1803) from the Mandovi Estuary, Goa
(Springer, 2015)An ecotoxicological study were conducted to evaluate the concentrations of PAHs and n-alkanes, in gut, liver and kidney tissues of two individuals of Enhydrina schistose (Daudin, 1803), using gas chromatography/mass ... -
Detoxification and color removal of Congo red by a novel Dietzia sp. (DTS26) – A microcosm approach
(Elsevier, 2015)The present study deals with the decolorization and detoxification of Congo red (CR) by a novel marine bacterium Dietzia sp. (DTS26) isolated from Divar Island, Goa, India. The maximum decolorization of 94.5% (100 mg ... -
Assessment of the land use/land cover (LU/LC) and mangrove changes along the Mandovi–Zuari Estuarine complex of Goa, India
(Springer, 2015)Land use/land cover change dynamics along the estuarine complex of Mandovi–Zuari in the coastal state of Goa, India is studied by the application of multi-temporal remote sensing data. This tropical estuarine region has ... -
Effects of hydrography on the distribution of bacteria and virus in Cochin Estuary, India
(Ecological Society of Japan, 2015)The viral dynamics have rarely been investigated in estuarine environments of India. The present study brings out a first hand information on the distribution of virus and bacteria in an eutrophic estuary (Cochin, India). ... -
Biogeochemistry and ecology of Pyrosoma spinosum from the Central Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2015)Background: A swarm of pelagic tunicate (Pyrosoma spinosum) was found in the surface open waters of the Arabian Sea during late southwest monsoon (September 2007). The swarm site was characterized by moderate southwesterly ... -
Genotoxicity of cadmium chloride in the marine gastropod Nerita chamaeleon using comet assay and alkaline unwinding assay
(Wiley, 2015)This paper presents an evaluation of the genotoxic effects of cadmium chloride (CdCl<sub>2</sub>) on marine gastropod, Nerita chamaeleon following the technique of comet assay and the DNA alkaline unwinding assay (DAUA). ... -
Observed year-to-year sea surface salinity variability in the Bay of Bengal during the 2009–2014 period
(Springer, 2015)The present study describes the observed sea surface salinity (SSS) interannual variability in the Bay of Bengal over the 2009–2014 period. It is based on an original compilation of all available in situ SSS observations ... -
Sources and fate of organic matter in suspended and bottom sediments of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Western India
