Storm surges in the Singapore Strait due to winds in the South China Sea
(Springer, 2013)Among the semi-enclosed basins of the world ocean, the South China Sea (SCS) is unique in its configuration as it lies under the main southwest-northeast pathway of the seasonal monsoons. The northeast (NE) monsoon ... -
Preliminary studies on the association between zooplankton and the stramenopilan fungi, Aplanochytrids
(Springer, 2013)The relationship of the marine heterokont stramenopilan protists, the aplanochytrids, with the zooplankton was studied in coastal waters. The aplanochytrids were fed to the zooplankton specimens and observed for grazing ... -

Climate, vegetation and ecology during Harappan period: Excavations at Kanjetar and Kaj, mid-Saurashtra coast, Gujarat
(Elsevier, 2013)A multi-proxy study was carried out to address climate–culture relationship from two trenches one each from Kaj and Kanjetar (mid-Saurashtra coast) deposited in a lacustrine setting, since ~1960 Cal BC and ~2230 Cal BC, ... -
Distribution and air–sea exchange of nitrous oxide in the coastal Bay of Bengal during peak discharge period (southwest monsoon)
(Elsevier, 2013)In order to examine the impact of river discharge from the Indian subcontinent on the concentration and air–sea exchange of nitrous oxide (N sub(2)O) a study was conducted during peak discharge period in the coastal Bay ... -
Diagenesis of magnetic minerals in a gas hydrate/cold seep environment off the Krishna-Godavari basin, Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2013)Detailed magnetic measurements of the core (MD161/8) located in the vicinity of Site NGHP-01-10 was carried out, where approx. 128 m of hydrate is confirmed by drilling/coring, to understand the diagenesis of magnetic ... -
Oceanospirillum nioense sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from sediment sample of Palk bay, India
(Springer, 2013)A novel Gram-negative, spiral shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain NIO-S6T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Offshore Rameswaram, Tamilnadu, India. Strain NIO-S6 sup(T) was found to be positive for ... -
First description of a cyanophage infecting the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina)
(Springer, 2013)Cyanobacteria constitute a versatile group of photosynthetic bacteria of immense commercial and ecological importance. Some species of this group are cultivated and sold as food because of their high nutritional value. ... -

Geochemical and isotopic signatures of surficial sediments from the western continental shelf of India: Inferring provenance, weathering, and the nature of organic matter
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2013)Bottom sediments from thirteen transects sampled mainly at depth contours of 30, 100, and 200 m along the western continental margin of India, falling in two offshore sectors from Dwaraka to Goa and Cape Comorin to Goa, ... -
Carbon dioxide emissions from the tropical Dowleiswaram Reservoir on the Godavari River, Southeast of India
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013)Time-series observations were conducted in the Dowleiswaram dam reservoir that was constructed on the largest monsoonal river in India to understand the source of inorganic carbon, and fluxes to the atmosphere. The reservoir ... -
Archaeology of lighthouses along the Indian coast with reference to a lighthouse at Kodinar, Gujarat
(Indian Archaeological Society, 2011)A lighthouse is an important aid for navigation and they are in use for the past 2500 years The archaeological remains of light houses are meagre in India and the earliest remains are not dated earlier than the medieval ... -

n-Alkanes in surficial sediments of Visakhapatnam harbour, east coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2013)Surface sediments collected from 19 stations along Visakhapatnam harbour were analysed for organic carbon (OC), delta sup(13)C sub(oc), total lipids (TL), total hydrocarbon (THC), n-alkane concentration and composition. ... -
Fungal diversity from various marine habitats deduced through culture-independent studies
(Blackwell, 2013)Studies on the molecular diversity of the micro-eukaryotic community have shown that fungi occupy a central position in a large number of marine habitats. Environmental surveys using molecular tools have shown the presence ... -
