Molecular evidence of fungal signatures in the marine protist Corallochytrium limacisporum and its implications in the evolution of animals and fungi
(Elsevier, 2006)Fungi, animals and single-celled organisms belonging to the choanozoans together constitute the supergroup Opisthokonta. The latter are considered crucial in understanding the evolutionary origin of animals and fungi. ... -
Dynamics of large scale 3-dimensional circulation of the Indian Ocean
(2005)One of the main objective of this thesis is to adapt and configure a fully non-linear, primitive equation type, sigma co-ordinate 3-dimensional circulation model for the entire Indian Ocean area which can be run on diagnostic, ... -
Oceanic fronts along 45 degrees across Antarctic Circumpolar Current during austral summer 2004
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)A pilot expedition was launched to monitor the oceanic fronts in the southwestern sector of the Indian Ocean during January–February 2004. Major fronts along 45 degrees E between 40 and 56 degrees S were delineated and ... -
Tsunami of 26 December 2004
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)In the absence of earlier studies, an attempt is made to identify the vulnerable areas of the Indian coast for the damages due to Tsunami based on an earlier study reported in the context of sea level rise due to greenhouse ... -
Inundation, run-up heights, cross-section profiles and littoral environment along the Tamil Nadu coast after 26 th December 2004 Tsunami
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa., 2005)On 26 December 2004 the coastal areas of different countries around the Indian Ocean including India were hit by a Tsunami that caused extensive fatalitites and damage to coastal property. On the initiative of Director, ... -
Restoration of deep-sea macrofauna after simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)Macrofaunal communities of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) were sampled with a spade before (June 1997), and immediately after (August 1997), and 44 months (April 2001) after a simulated benthic disturbance for polymetallic ... -
Recovery of deep-sea meiofauna after artificial disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)Colonization of deep-sea (5000–5500m depths) metazoan meiofaunal assemblage (in terms of abundance and community structure) was investigated in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB), immediately after and also 44 months ... -
Underwater adhesion: The barnacle way
(Elsevier, 2007)Barnacle cement is an underwater adhesive insoluble protein complex. Marine proteins secreted by the invertebrates such as barnacles and mussels have potential application as powerful adhesives as they insolubilize and ... -
Studies on heavy metal accumulation in aquatic macrophytes from Sevan (Armenia) and Carambolim (India) lake systems
(Elsevier, 2006)Aquatic macrophytes are unchangeable biological filters and they carry out purification of the water bodies by accumulating dissolved metals and toxins in their tissue. In view of their potential to entrap several toxic ... -
Ecotoxicological effect of grounded MV River Princess on the intertidal benthic organisms off Goa
(Elsevier, 2006)The ecotoxicological effects of oil spill from the grounded vessel MV River Princess on the intertidal benthic organisms of Sinquerim–Candolim beach at Goa, India were investigated. An intertidal expanse of 1 km on either ... -
Some studies on wave refraction in relation to beach erosion along the Kerala coast
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1966)Using the British admirality bathymetric charts off the west coast of India and employing the graphical method of constructing wave refraction diagrams, an attempt is made to study behaviour of the short-period waves (4, ... -
Water quality assessment of Gautami-Godavari mangrove estuarine ecosystem of Andhra Pradesh, India during September 2001
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)Some chemical and biological parameters were analysed at sixteen stations in the mangrove ecosystem, of the neighbouring Gautami-Godavari (GG) river estuary and Kakinada (KKD) bay to understand the present status of water ... -
First oceanographic expedition to survey the impact of the Sumatra earthquake and the tsunami of 26 December 2004
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)The preliminary observations of the First Post-Tsunami Oceanographic Expedition in Andaman Nicobar region are presented in this paper. Thirty one scientists from National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa, India; NIO, ... -
Deep-sea ecosystems of the Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2005)The deep Indian Ocean is composed of a variety of habitat types, including abyssal plains, oxygenated slopes and basins, seamounts, and trenches. The geomorphological features of the Indian Ocean include mid-ocean ridges, ... -
Tsunami engineering study in India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)This article describes the need for establishing Tsunami Engineering Study Centers in India. The research groups would study historical tsunami, numerical modeling, field survey, physical experiments, evacuation models, etc. -
Statistical modelling of monthly mean sea level at coastal tide gauge stations along the Indian subcontinent
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2005)This study investigates the suitability of statistical models for their predictive potential for the monthly mean sea level at different stations along the west and east coasts of the Indian subcontinent. Statistical ... -
IndOBIS, an Ocean Biogeographic Information System for assessment and conservation of Indian Ocean biodiversity
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2005)Compilation of inventories of components of coastal and marine biodiversity of Indian Ocean is hampered by several factors: low effort by some countries, preference to certain taxon, dwindling taxonomic expertise, low ... -
Coastal and marine biodiversity of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2005)This paper summarizes what is known of the coastal and marine biodiversity of the Indian seas and their various ecosystems, from past literature, museum records and other lesser-known sources of information. The synthesis ... -
Spatial variations of DMS, DMSP and phytoplankton in the Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon 2001
(Elsevier, 2006)Data on the distribution of Dimethylsulphide (DMS) and dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) in relation to phytoplankton abundance in different oceanic environments is important to understand the biogeochemistry of DMS, which ... -
Signature of terrestrial influence on nitrogen isotopic composition of suspended particulate
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)Nitrogen concentration and its isotopic composition in surface suspended matter have been measured at 24 different locations during the post-monsoon season in the Bay of Bengal. In general, the stable nitrogen isotopic ...
