(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 ...
Khalkattapatna port: The lost archaeological heritage of Odisha, east coast of India
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The history of Odisha, lying on the east coast of India, is well documented from the Stone Age onwards. The evidences suggest that the ports of Odisha had contacts with the Arabs, Mediterranean countries and South Asia, ...
Phylogenetic analyses and nitrate-reducing activity of fungal cultures isolated from the permanent, oceanic oxygen minimum zone of the Arabian Sea
(NRC Research Press, 2015)
Reports on the active role of fungi as denitrifiers in terrestrial ecosystems have stimulated an interest in the study of the role of fungi in oxygen-deficient marine systems. In this study, the culturable diversity of ...
Coastal sea level response to the tropical cyclonic forcing in the northern Indian Ocean
(European Geophysical Union, 2015)
The study examines the observed storm-generated sea level variation due to deep depression (event 1: E1) in the Arabian Sea from 26 November to 1 December 2011 and a cyclonic storm "THANE" (event 2: E2) over the Bay of ...
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 ...
Classification of tidal inlets along the Central east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Coastal inlets are the openings along the coastline that provide a linkage between the open ocean and the hinterland water bodies. These coastal inlets are varied in nature depending on many influencing parameters such as ...
Inter-annual sea level variability in the southern South China Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)
The South China Sea (SCS) is the largest marginal sea in the western Pacific Basin. Sea level anomalies (SLAs) in the southern South China Sea (SSCS) are assumed to be governed by various phenomena associated with the ...
Effect of monsoonal perturbations on the occurrence of phytoplankton blooms in a tropical bay
(Inter-Research, 2015)
In this study, the influence of intraseasonal variations in rainfall and the resultant freshwater flux (monsoon perturbations) on phytoplankton bloom dynamics were evaluated by quantifying live phytoplankton at a fixed ...
