Nitrogen and carbon cycling over the western continental shelf of India during seasonal anoxia: A stable isotope approach
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The western continental shelf of India (eastern Arabian Sea) houses the world�s largest seasonally-occurring coastal low-oxygen zone. The natural abundance of nitrogen and oxygen isotopes in dissolved nitrate were measured ...
Iron organic speciation during the LOHAFEX experiment: Iron ligands release under biomass control by copepod grazing
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The LOHAFEX iron fertilization experiment consisted in the fertilization of the closed core of a cyclonic eddy located south of the Antarctic Polar Front in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. This eddy was characterized ...
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 ...
Environmental association of heterotrophic micro-eukaryotes in the varying biogeochemical regimes of the Arabian Sea, resolved via high-throughput sequencing
(Springer, 2021)
The diverse physicochemical conditions prevailing in the Arabian Sea are expected to result in marked spatial variations in heterotrophic flagellate (HF) and ciliate communities. Here, we report the environmental association ...
Phytoplankton associated with seasonal oxygen depletion in waters of the western continental shelf of India
(2020)
We report here results of a time series study carried out to understand seasonal variability of phytoplankton in relation to changes in dissolved oxygen based on observations at the Candolim Time Series (CaTS) station ...
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 ...
Dynamics of dimethylsulphide and associated compounds in the coastal waters of Goa, west coast of India
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Concentrations of total dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSPt), Dimethylsulphide (DMS) and total dimethylsulphoxide (DMSOt) were measured at a coastal time series site, west coast of India, from September 2009 to December ...
Controls on organic matter distribution in oxygen minimum zone sediments from the continental slope off western India
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The causes of organic-rich sediments in contact with the perennial oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) on the continental slope off western India have been debated extensively, largely in relation to two main controlling factors: ...
Massive Nitrogen Loss Over the Western Indian Continental Shelf During Seasonal Anoxia: Evidence From Isotope Pairing Technique
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020)
The western Indian continental shelf houses the world's largest naturally formed coastal low-oxygen zone that develops seasonally during the summer monsoon. We investigated multiple reductive nitrogen transformation pathways ...
Massive Methane Loss During Seasonal Hypoxia/Anoxia in the Nearshore Waters of Southeastern Arabian Sea
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)
Repeat observations over the Kochi and Mangalore shelves of the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during April to December 2012 revealed substantial accumulation of methane (CH4) in the nearshore waters (48.6 � 34.4 nM) ...
