Climate Induced Vegetational Evolution: Palynological and Thecamoebian Study from Coastal Archaeological Sites, Saurashtra
(Agam Kala Prakashan, New Delhi, 2015)
Coastal archaeological sites serve as potential archive of past climate-culture and vegetation relationship responding to relative sea level changes. Most of the Harappan dwellers along the coastal region largely depended ...
Biogeochemistry of iron in the Arabian sea
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2015)
The Arabian Sea is a productive basin where seasonal upwelling and convective mixing result in high surface nutrient concentrations and widespread algal blooms. The factors controlling primary productivity in the Arabian ...
Time series monitoring of water quality and microalgal diversity in a tropical bay under intense anthropogenic interference (SW coast of the Bay of Bengal, India)
(Elsevier, 2015)
In recent decades, material fluxes to coastal waters from various land based anthropogenic activities have signifi- cantly been enhanced around the globe which can considerably impact the coastal water quality and ecosystem ...
Impact of accidental leakage of furnace oil on Mahul creek mangrove vegetation
(NISCAIR Publications, 2016)
A pipeline carrying furnace/black oil from Butcher Island to the petrochemical complex at Mahul in Mumbai started leaking during 3rdweek of October 2013 and went unnoticed till first week of November 2013. The alignment ...
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 ...
Significance of investigating allelopathic interactions of marine organisms in the discovery and development of cytotoxic compounds
(Elsevier, 2016)
Marine sessile organisms often inhabit rocky substrata, which are crowded by other sessile organisms. They acquire living space via growth interactions and/or by allelopathy. They are known to secrete toxic compounds having ...
Influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on the water quality of the coastal waters around the South Andaman in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2015)
During the last decade, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) have witnessed a marginal population growth with associated variations and degradation in the water quality of the inhabited coastal region. Monthly water quality ...
Oxygen isotopic analyses of individual planktic foraminifera species: Implications for seasonality in the western Arabian Sea
(Copernicus Publications, 2014)
The variation of stable isotopes between individual shells of planktic foraminifera of a given species and size may provide short-term seasonal insight on Paleoceanography. In this context, oxygen isotope analyses of ...
Microbial iron reduction and methane oxidation in subsurface sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)
Arabian Sea is one of the most productive regions of the world's ocean with seasonal upwelling and a characteristic oxygen minimum zone. It receives a continuous input of windborne iron-rich dust which possibly stimulates ...
Response of bacterioplankton to iron fertilization of the Southern Ocean, Antarctica
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015)
Ocean iron fertilization is an approach to increase CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration. The Indo-German iron fertilization experiment “LOHAFEX” was carried out in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica in 2009 to monitor ...
