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 ...
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 ...
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)
Differential response of coral communities to Caulerpa spp. bloom in the reefs of Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2017)
Coral reef ecosystems are disturbed in tandem by climatic and anthropogenic stressors. A number of factors act synergistically to reduce the live coral cover and threaten the existence of reefs. Continuous monitoring of ...
Evaluation of the impact of bioaccumulation of PAH from the marine environment on DNA integrity and oxidative stress in marine rock oyster (Saccostrea cucullata) along the Arabian sea coast
(Springer, 2017)
Marine pollution due to oil spills is of great concern globally for their impact on the health of marine ecosystems. We assessed the genotoxic effects and oxidative stress due to genotoxic pollutants accumulated from the ...
Modelling photosynthetic rates of Indian red mangroves (Rhizophora mucronata Poir.) to climatic factors
(International Society for Tropical Ecology, 2017)
The paper offers models for simulating photosynthesis as a function of empirical variables, such as radiation, temperature, CO2 concentrations, water content in the atmosphere, vapour pressure deficit and relative humidity ...
