Experiment to decipher the effect of heavy metal cadmium on coastal benthic foraminifer Pararotalia Nipponica (Asano)
(Palaeontological Society of India, 2013)
The response of benthic foraminifer Pararotalia nipponica to heavy metal cadmium is observed in laboratory experiment. The results indicate that under a given set of conditions, heavy metal cadmium is deleterious to benthic ...
Mean proloculus size, delta super(13) C and delta super(18) O variations in recent benthic foraminifera from the west coast of India and their climatic implications
(Indian Society of Earth Sciences, Calcutta, 1993)
The interrelationship between mean proloculus size (MPS), delta super(18) O and delta super(13) C vatiations in benthic foraminiferal species Rotalidium annectens and their relation with temperature (T) and salinity (S) ...
How will Benthic Foraminifera Respond to Warming and Changes in Productivity-: A Laboratory Culture Study on Cymbaloporetta plana
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)
Anthropogenic activities are likely to cause global warming. Global warming will affect marine productivity and thus food availability for marine organisms. Both the seawater temperature and food availability affect benthic ...
Deglaciation in the tropical Indian Ocean driven by interplay between the regional monsoon and global teleconnections
(Elsevier, 2013)
High resolution climate records of the ice age terminations from monsoon-dominated regions reveal the interplay of regional and global driving forces. Speleothem records from Chinese caves indicate that glacial terminations ...
Benthic foraminifera
(Elsevier, 2013)
Benthic foraminifera are protozoa, which evolved during Cambrian and at present are found living in all possible marine environments. Their single cell is enclosed in a microscopic calcareous or agglutinated shell called ...
Foraminifers as indicators of marine pollution: A culture experiment with Rosalina leei
(Elsevier, 2004)
In order to develop a viable foraminiferal proxy for heavy metal pollutants, juvenile specimens of Rosalina leei were subjected to different mercury concentrations (0 -180 ng/l). Initially considerable growth was observed ...
Can the possibility of some linkage of monsoonal precipitation with solar variability be ignored? Indications from foraminiferal proxy records
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
Foraminiferal studies on a shallow water sediment core off Karwar, central west coast of India have revealed significant changes in the monsoonal precipitation during the last around 720 years. The results hint towards ...
Palaeoceanographic implications of abundance and mean proloculus diameter of benthic foraminiferal species Epistominella exigua in sub-surface sediments from distal Bay of Bengal fan
(Indian Academy of Science, 2005)
Temporal variation in abundance and mean proloculus diameter of the benthic foraminiferal species Epistominella exigua has been reconstructed over the last approx. 50,000 yr BP, from a core collected from the distal Bay ...
A first look at factors affecting aragonite compensation depth in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
Water column measurements suggest shoaling of aragonite saturation depths (ASD) throughout the world oceans, due to increase in greenhouse gas concentration. Past records of aragonite saturation state under different ...
Addressing environmental issues through foraminifera – Case studies from the Arabian Sea
(The Palaeontological Society of India, 2005)
The present global scenario poses multiple environmental problems such as the green house effect, ozone holes, global warming and consequential sea level rise, all being attributed to anthropogenic contributions. Obviously, ...
