Morphotectonics of the Raman-Panikkar-Wadia seamount chain in the Laxmi Basin, Eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)The Laxmi Basin, which is a deep ocean basin situating adjoining to the northwestern continental margin of India, contains a linear seamount chain consisting of the Raman Seamount, Panikkar Seamount and the Wadia Guyot, ... -
Beneficial properties of mucus in coral adaptations and ecological interactions
(Springer, 2024)Coral mucus secreted by mucocytes provides a protective physicochemical and physiological barrier between coral tissue and external environmental threats. The biomolecules and nutrients of the secreted mucus are derived ... -
Antimicrobial activity of coral-associated beneficial bacteria against coral disease-causing microbial pathogens
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)Microbial infection of immune-compromised corals influences disease severity, resulting in coral mortality. However, coral-associated beneficial bacteria are known to produce antimicrobial compounds that prevent the growth ... -
Export of particulate organic carbon and nitrogen to the northern Indian Ocean by the monsoonal rivers of India
(Springer, 2023)This study analyses particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate nitrogen (PN) export from Indian monsoonal rivers to the north Indian Ocean. Indian monsoonal rivers export approximately 1.2 Tg yr?1 (1Tg?=?1012 g) ... -
Ocean surface wave dynamics off the southern tip of Indian mainland
(Elsevier, 2023)Waves collected in the nearshore waters off the southern tip of the Indian mainland from February 2018 to January 2019 are used to examine the wave spectral characterization. The annual mean of the significant wave height ... -
Variation of amino acid in the sinking particulates in the northeastern Arabian Sea and the northern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2023)Sediment traps are widely used to get insight into how particulate matter forms and settles in the water column. Earlier studies in the Northern Indian Ocean have shown that the sinking flux depends mainly on surface primary ... -
Changes in rock magnetic properties of sediments along the Carlsberg Ridge: Inferences on active/extinct vent fields
(Elsevier, 2024)Hydrothermal vents at Mid Ocean Ridges (MOR) are known to leave metalliferous, bacterial, temperature-induced signatures in sediments. Knowledge of active/extinct vents along the Carlsberg Ridge (CR) is sparse; further ... -
Spatiotemporal variability in phytoplankton size class modulated by summer monsoon wind forcing in the Central Arabian Sea
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)The Arabian Sea is an area of intense ocean-atmospheric coupling that impacts its physicochemical, and biological processes. During the summer monsoon (June-September), in the central Arabian Sea, a low-level atmospheric ... -
Environmental variables and its association with faecal coliform at Madh Island beaches of megacity Mumbai, India
(Elsevier, 2024)The abundance of fecal-indicating bacteria in water bodies are said to be influenced by environmental conditions. The effect of environmental parameters on the changing microbial population plays an important role in coastal ... -
Seismotectonics and 3-D seismic velocity structure of the Arunachal Himalaya
(Elsevier, 2023)Knowledge of seimotectonics of Arunachal Himalaya holds the key to comprehend the complex deformation scenario in the eastern Himalayan syntaxial (EHS) zone comprising India, Eurasia and Burma plates. Data from a network ... -
A comparative investigation of physicochemical and biological variables of Aerial & Port Blair Bays, Andaman Islands with focus on the anthropogenic influence
(CSIR-NISCPR, New Delhi, 2023)Major anthropogenic activities surround the Port Blair Bay, while Aerial Bay remains as a pristine environment. A field study was carried out during the south-west monsoon season (July - August, 2011) in the two bays to ... -
High waves measured during tropical cyclones in the coastal waters of India
(Elsevier, 2023)The high waves in the ocean generated by tropical cyclones cause ship accidents and damage to offshore structures. This study examines the characteristics of high waves from the measured half-hourly directional wave data ... -
Hydrothermal amorphous silica, barite and orpiment from the crater area of seamount (SM-13) off Nicobar island, Andaman sea: Indications for the development of a new hydrothermal field
(Elsevier, 2024)The Andaman sea characterized by trench-arc-backarc elements (Andaman-Nicobar island-arc, the Andaman back-arc spreading center, the seamount complex, and the back-arc basin) is a complex active basin and is known for ... -
Dynamics of nitrous oxide and methane in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)This study examined the factors controlling the intra- and inter-seasonal variations of dissolved methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS). Time-series measurements of CH4, N2O and allied ... -
Microplastics in the sediments along the eastern Arabian Sea shelf: Distribution, governing factors and risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2024)Despite the omnipresence of microplastics (MPs), the studies around the western continental shelf of Indian Ocean (Eastern Arabian Sea-EAS) are uncovered and understudied. Thus, the present study was focused to understand ... -
Impact of southern annular mode on the Indian Ocean surface waves
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023)Interannual climate modes, especially the southern annular mode (SAM), significantly influence the wave climate modulation of the Indian Ocean (IO). The present study, aligned with previous research, identifies two crucial ... -
Land subsidence studies in the Godavari Delta regions of the East coast of India using ALOS and Sentinel 1 data
(Elsevier, 2023)Subsidence in coastal deltas is a challenging issue globally, influenced by both climate and anthropogenic pressures. Owing to its rich economic value, the Godavari Delta on the east coast of India attracts the human ... -
Isotopic composition of carbon and nitrogen of particulate organic matter in the Godavari estuary: Seasonality in sources and processes
