    • Effects of freshwater stratification on nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and phytoplankton in the Bay of Bengal 

      Sarma, V.V.S.S.; Rao, G.D.; Viswanadham, R.; Sherin, C.K.; Salisbury, J.; Omand, M.M.; Mahadevan, A.; Murty, V.S.N.; Shroyer, E.; Baumgartner, M.; Stafford, K. (The Oceanography Society, 2016)
      The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is strongly density stratified due to large freshwater input from various rivers and heavy precipitation. This strong vertical stratification, along with physical processes, regulates the transport ...
    • Newly discovered deep-branching marine plastid lineages are numerically rare but globally distributed 

      Choi, C.J.; Bachy, C.; Jaeger, G.S.; Poirier, C.; Sudek, L.; Sarma, V.V.S.S.; Mahadevan, A.; Giovannoni, S.J.; Worden, A.Z. (Current Biology, 2017)
      Ocean surface warming is resulting in an expansion of stratified, low-nutrient environments, a process referred to as ocean desertification [1]. A challenge for assessing the impact of these changes is the lack of robust ...
    • The Bay of Bengal exposes abundant photosynthetic picoplankton and newfound diversity along salinity-driven gradients 

      Strauss, J.; Choi, C.J.; Grone, J.; Wittmers, F.; Jimenez, V.; Makareviciute-Fichtner, K.; Bachy, C.; Jaeger, G.S.; Poirier, C.; Eckmann, C.; Spezzano, R.; Loscher, C.R.; Sarma, V.V.S.S.; Mahadevan, A.; Worden, A.Z. (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023)
      The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is a 2,600,000 km2 expanse in the Indian Ocean upon which many humans rely. However, the primary producers underpinning food chains here remain poorly characterized. We examined phytoplankton abundance ...
    • Upper layer thermohaline structure of the Bay of Bengal during the 2013 northeast monsoon 

      Shroyer, E.L.; Gordon, A.L.; Jaeger, G.S.; Freilich, M.; Waterhouse, A.F.; Farrar, J.T.; Sarma, V.V.S.S.; Venkatesan, R.; Weller, R.A.; Moum, J.N.; Mahadevan, A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
      The Bay of Bengal is forced by the South Asian monsoon and associated seasonally reversing winds and freshwater fluxes. Here, we summarize a high-resolution, basin-wide survey of the Bay of Bengal conducted during the 2013 ...
