Freeze-drying partially affects dead benthic foraminiferal shells in estuarine sediments
(Palaeontological Society of India, 2020)
Foraminiferal proxies are often used to understand both pollution and past climatic changes. The freeze-drying is a viable alternative to commonly used method of oven-drying to process marine sediments for foraminiferal ...
Multiple Ecological Parameters Affect Living Benthic Foraminifera in the River-Influenced West-Central Bay of Bengal
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021)
The huge riverine influx and associated processes decrease the ambient salinity, stratify the water column, modulate the oxygen-deficient zone, and are also responsible for the recent acidification in the Bay of Bengal. ...
Untangling the effect of organic matter and dissolved oxygen on living benthic foraminifera in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2021)
We studied the relationship between organic carbon in sediments (%Corg), bottom water dissolved oxygen and living benthic foraminifera in a marginal marine upwelling setting from the southeastern Arabian Sea to develop ...
A highly diverse living benthic foraminiferal assemblage in the oxygen deficient zone of the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2020)
The exchange of seawater between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, creates a strong seasonality in the southeastern Arabian Sea, including the oxygen deficient zone (ODZ) at intermediate depth. Here, we assess the ...
Warm northern tropical Indian Ocean strengthened the ocean circulation prior to the last glacial termination
(Elsevier, 2022)
Modern observations and model simulations suggest a strong influence of tropical processes on high-latitudinal climate. The evidence of similar tropics-high latitude climate link during glacial termination is, however, ...
Ecological preferences of living benthic foraminifera from the Mahanadi river-dominated north-western Bay of Bengal: A potential environmental impact assessment tool
(Elsevier, 2022)
The ecological preferences of living benthic foraminifera from the riverine influx dominated eastern continental margin of India have been studied. The living benthic foraminifera were abundant on the upper slope (~100-700 ...
A revised chronostratigraphic framework for International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 355 sites in Laxmi Basin, eastern Arabian Sea
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 355 drilled Sites U1456 and U1457 in Laxmi Basin (eastern Arabian Sea) to document the impact of the South Asian monsoon on weathering and erosion of the Himalaya. We revised ...
Strong solar influence on multi-decadal periodic productivity changes in the central-western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2022)
Oceanic productivity is a vital component of the global carbon cycle. The productivity in the tropical oceans is strongly modulated by the monsoon winds. The monsoon winds are driven by the temperature. Therefore, the ...
Functional and taxonomic (? and ?) diversity patterns of macrobenthic communities along a depth gradient (19-2639 m): A case study from the southern Indian continental margin
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Identifying the drivers that shape the biodiversity of a region is important to predict the response of ecosystems to environmental changes. Macrofaunal distribution pattern in the North Indian Ocean has so far been mainly ...
Research opportunities in pandemic lockdown
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020)
The entire world is facing an unprecedented crisis today due to the spread of COVID-19. The most severely affected countries enforced a complete lockdown to minimize personal contacts, with only bare minimum, essential ...
