Lack of denitrification causes a difference in benthic foraminifera living in the oxygen deficient zones of the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Despite being located at the same latitudes, the Bay of Bengal oxygen deficient zone (ODZ) is markedly different than the Arabian Sea ODZ. The uptake of oxygen in the Bay of Bengal does not lead to denitrification as in ...
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 ...
Large-scale mass wasting on the miocene continental margin of Western India
(Geological Society of America, 2020)
A giant mass-transport complex was recently discovered in the eastern Arabian Sea, exceeding in volume all but one other known complex on passive margins worldwide. The complex, named the Nataraja Slide, was drilled by ...
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 ...
Variations in ?13C values of sedimentary organic matter since late Miocene time in the Indus Fan (IODP Site 1457) of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
A 1108.6 m long core was recovered at Site U1457 located on the Indus Fan in the Laxmi Basin of the eastern Arabian Sea during IODP Expedition 355. Shipboard examinations defined five lithologic units (I to V) of the lower ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Editorial: Benthic Biodiversity of the Indian Ocean
(Frontiers, 2022)
Benthic organisms are an important component of the marine biodiversity. Although the benthic organisms constitute only a fraction of the total marine biomass, their contribution to the remineralization and thus biogeochemical ...
Assessing the effect of riverine discharge on planktic foraminifera: A case study from the marginal marine regions of the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)
Planktic foraminifera are amongst the most widely used paleoclimatic proxies. The application of foraminifera for paleoclimatic reconstruction requires knowledge of the ecological preference of species. Here, we report the ...
