Inconsistent change in surface hydrography of the eastern Arabian Sea during the last four glacial-interglacial intervals
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020)
The eastern Arabian Sea is influenced by both the advection of upwelled water from the western Arabian Sea and winter convective mixing. Therefore, sediments collected from the eastern Arabian Sea can help to understand ...
Cellular response of Brevibacterium casei #NIOSBA88 to arsenic and chromium- a proteomic approach
(Springer, 2020)
Cellular response against different heavy metal stress differs with the metal. Arsenic and chromium are heavy metals and toxic to living systems. The concentration of these metals in seawater is very low. However, due to ...
A late Pleistocene sedimentation in the Indus Fan, Arabian Sea, IODP Site U1457
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
The intensity of turbidite sedimentation over long timescales is driven by sea-level change, tectonically driven rock uplift and climatically modulated sediment delivery rates. This study focuses on understanding the effect ...
Impact of a large hydraulic barrage on the trace metals concentration in mesozooplankton in the Kochi backwaters, along the Southwest coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
This study delineates the impact of a man-made hydrological barrage [Thannermukkom barrage (TB)] on the concentration of selected trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb) in mesozooplankton from the Kochi backwaters ...
Denitrification rates of culturable bacteria from a coastal location turning temporally hypoxic
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Nitrate reduction plays a key role in the biogeochemical dynamics and microbial ecology of coastal upwelling systems. Seasonal upwelling in the eastern Arabian Sea entrains nitrate rich waters to the surface, the intense ...
Progression of regeneration in demosponge Cinachyrella cf cavernosa based on wound location
(Springer, 2020)
In this study, the differential regeneration process in sponge Cinachyrella cf cavernosa (Lamarck, 1815) was examined by creating wounds at basal and apical tissues. The differences in wound healing were investigated based ...
Can the ecological status of three differentially impacted monsoonal tropical estuaries in NW India, be adequately assessed by a common estuarine benthic index?
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Effective management measures for improving rapidly deteriorating estuaries around the world are hugely dependent on accurate evaluation of the ecological status, which is a challenge in itself considering the Estuarine ...
Relevance of Relative Sea Surface Temperature for Tropical Rainfall Interannual Variability
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020)
The coupling between sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and rainfall is an important driver of tropical climate variability. Observations however reveal inconsistencies, such as decreased convective rainfall in regions ...
Prevalence of indicator and potential pathogenic bacterial groups in the Chapora bay-estuarine system, Goa, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2020)
This paper describes the prevalence of indicator and pathogenic bacterial groups in water and sediments in OSZ-offshore, ISZ-inshore, IEZ-inner estuary, and UEZ-upper estuary along the river Chapora, central west coast of ...
The hard corals (Scleractinia) of India: A revised checklist
(CSIR-NISCAIR, Newdelhi, 2020)
Persistence of coral reefs is threatened globally due to intensified human activities and ongoing climate change. Coral reefs in India are also suffering from acute stress events like mass coral bleaching and coastal ...
