Biogeochemistry of iron in the Arabian sea
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2015)
The Arabian Sea is a productive basin where seasonal upwelling and convective mixing result in high surface nutrient concentrations and widespread algal blooms. The factors controlling primary productivity in the Arabian ...
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 ...
Effect of salinity induced pH/alkalinity changes on benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture experiment
(Elsevier, 2015)
The salinity of coastal waters in the vicinity of seasonally fresh water fed estuaries changes tremendously and reportedly affects the living calcite secreting organisms like foraminifera, as well as their dead remains. ...
Biogeochemistry and ecology of Pyrosoma spinosum from the Central Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2015)
Background: A swarm of pelagic tunicate (Pyrosoma spinosum) was found in the surface open waters of the Arabian Sea during late southwest monsoon (September 2007). The swarm site was characterized by moderate southwesterly ...
Mineralogy and Sr–Nd isotopes of SPM and sediment from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries: Influence of weathering and anthropogenic contribution
(Elsevier, 2015)
Clay minerals and Sr–Nd isotopes of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and bottom sediment were investigated along transect stations of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, western India to determine the provenance and role ...
Comparative biogeochemistry–ecosystem–human interactions on dynamic continental margins..
(Elsevier, 2015)
The oceans' continental margins face strong and rapid change, forced by a combination of direct human activity, anthropogenic CO2-induced climate change, and natural variability. Stimulated by discussions in Goa, India at ...
Preface: Biogeochemistry–ecosystem interaction on changing continental margins in the Anthropocene
(Elsevier, 2015)
This special issue presents case studies of different continental marginswith different settings and problems. The domains examined cover awide spectrumof continental margin environments, fromwatersheds, estuaries and ...
Biogeosciences connecting earth`s spheres from microscopic to global scales
(European Geosciences Union, 2015)
Mineralogical and elemental analyses of 20 ferromanganese (FeMn)-coated pumice samples from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) indicate that todorokite is the major mineral phase, whereas vernadite occurs only rarely. ...
Carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of suspended particulate organic matter in Zuari Estuary, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
The spatio-temporal variations of the δ13C and δ15N of suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM), along with ancillary chemical and hydrographic parameters, have been examined monthly for one year (October 2010 to September ...
Seasonal variations in abundance, biomass and grazing rates of microzooplankton in a tropical monsoonal estuary
(Springer, 2015)
Seasonal abundance, composition and grazing rates of microzooplankton (20–200 µm) in the Zuari estuary were investigated to evaluate their importance in food web dynamics of a tropical monsoonal estuary. Average abundances ...
