Molecular Insights on Dissolved Organic Matter Transformation by Supraglacial Microbial Communities
(American Chemical Society, 2017)
Snow overlays the majority of Antarctica and is an important repository of dissolved organic matter (DOM). DOM transformations by supraglacial microbes are not well understood. We use ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry ...
Mercury exposure and Alzheimer's disease in India: An imminent threat?
(Elsevier, 2017)
India is an industrial giant with one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. Primary energy consumption in India is third after China and the USA. Greater energy production brings the burden of increasing ...
Glacial to Holocene changes in sea surface temperature and seawater 18O in the northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2017)
Sea surface temperature (SST) and seawater 18Osw records were generated from sediment cores located in the southern Bay of Bengal (SBOB) and the northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) to understand glacial to Holocene changes in ...
Distribution and fractionation of rare earth elements and Yttrium in suspended and bottom sediments of the Kali estuary, western India
(Springer, 2017)
Concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) and yttrium (Y), and major metals (Al, Fe and Mn) were measured in suspended particulate matter (SPM) and bottom sediments of the Kali estuary, western India, for their distribution ...
Comparative efficacy of benthic biotic indices in assessing the Ecological Quality Status (EcoQS) of the stressed Ulhas estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Ecostatus of Ulhas estuary, one of the most polluted estuaries along the industrialized and urbanized northwest coast of India, was evaluated by six widely accepted benthic indices viz. H?(log2), AMBI, M-AMBI, BENTIX, BOPA ...
Variations in particulate matter over Indo-Gangetic Plains and Indo-Himalayan Range during four field campaigns in winter monsoon and summer monsoon: Role of pollution pathways
(Elsevier, 2017)
Both in-situ and space-borne observations reveal an extremely high loading of particulates over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), all year around. With a burgeoning population and combustion sources (fossil fuels (FFs) and ...
Polychaete assemblage driven by substrate composition along the coastal waters of the South-eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The spatial variation in polychaete community structure and sediment composition was studied along the coastal waters of the South-eastern Arabian Sea. Sampling was conducted during the pre-monsoon season (2011-2014) in ...
Anaerobic carbon mineralisation through sulphate reduction in the inner shelf sediments of eastern Arabian sea
(Springer, 2017)
Monsoon-induced coastal upwelling, land run-off, benthic and atmospheric inputs make the western Indian shelf waters biologically productive that is expected to lead to high rates of mineralisation of organic matter (OM) ...
Micro-phytoplankton photosynthesis, primary production and potential export production in the Atlantic Ocean
(Elsevier, 2017)
Micro-phytoplankton is the >20 m component of the phytoplankton community and plays a major role in the global ocean carbon pump, through the sequestering of anthropogenic CO2and export of organic carbon to the deep ocean. ...
Tar ball pollution: Research effort and management strategy
(Indian Coast Guard, 2017)
