Time Series Observations in the North Indian Ocean
(IMBER, 2011)
Unlike the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, the northern Indian Ocean is geographically unique. The bounding to the north by the Asian landmass has a profound impact on the biogeochemistry of the region. The Arabian Sea ...
Dissolved methane in Indian freshwater reservoirs
(Springer, 2013)
Emission of methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, from tropical reservoirs is of interest because such reservoirs experience conducive conditions for CH4 production through anaerobic microbial activities. It has been ...
Seasonal occurrence of anoxygenic photosynthesis in Tillari and Selaulim reservoirs, Western India
(The European Geosciences Union, 2012)
Phytoplankton and bacterial pigment compositions were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in two freshwater reservoirs (Tillari Dam and Selaulim ...
The Arabian Sea as a high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll region during the late southwest monsoon
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)
Extensive observations were made during the late southwest monsoon of 2004 over the Indian and Omani shelves, and along a transect that extended from the southern coast of Oman to the central west coast of India, tracking ...
Isotopic composition of nitrate and particulate organic matter in a pristine dam reservoir of western India: Implications for biogeochemical processes
(European Geosciences Union, 2017)
Isotopic composition of nitrate (δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>18</sup>O) and particulate organic matter (POM; δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>13</sup>C) were measured in the Tillari Reservoir, located at the ...
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ...
Nitrogen fixation rates in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The Arabian Sea experiences bloom of the diazotroph Trichodesmium during certain times of the year when optimal sea surface temperature and oligotrophic condition favour their growth. We measured nitrogen fixation rates ...
Impact of physical processes on oxygen loss and production of hydrogen sulphide and methane in a tropical freshwater reservoir
(Springer, 2021)
Carbon neutrality of tropical reservoirs is a big concern in recent years as some estimates project high methane emission from these reservoirs. While there are studies available on the impact of physical processes ...
Methane stimulates massive nitrogen loss from freshwater reservoirs in India
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
The fate of the enormous amount of reactive nitrogen released to the environment by human activities in India is unknown. Here we show occurrence of seasonal stratification and generally low concentrations of dissolved ...
Phytoplankton dynamics in a seasonal stratified reservoir (Tillari), Western India
(EDP Sciences, 2021)
Phytoplankton are the primary producers in all the aquatic ecosystems and play an important role in key biogeochemical processes that are linked to the higher trophic levels and climate variability. The present study deals ...
