Authigenic carbonates in the sediments of Goa offshore basin, western continental margin of India
(Current Science Association, 2012)
Euhedral crystals (approx. 1 mm) of authigenic carbonates are identified in 5 m long sediment cores collected from the western continental margin of India in water depths between 2665 and 3070 m. Low-Mg calcite and aragonite ...
Rise of the dormant: Simulated disturbance improves culturable abundance, diversity, and functions of deep-sea bacteria of Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
The abundance of baroduric bacteria from nine sediment cores (0-10 cm below sea floor) was examined for their response to simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian basin (CIB). While the total counts of bacteria ...
Tropical sea surface temperatures and the earth's orbital eccentricity cycles
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)
The tropical oceanic warm pools are climatologically important regions because their sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are positively related to atmospheric greenhouse effect and the cumulonimbus-cirrus cloud anvil. Such a ...
Fungal community analysis in the deep-sea sediments of the central Indian Basin by culture-independent approach
(Springer, 2011)
Few studies have addressed the occurrence of fungi in deep-sea sediments, characterized by elevated hydrostatic pressure, low temperature, and fluctuating nutrient conditions. The diversity of fungi at three locations of ...
Benthic fauna of southwest and southeast coasts of India
(Asian Fisheries Society, Indian Branch, Mangalore (India), 1999)
Benthos, sediments characteristics and organic matter content were studied along southwest and southeast coasts of India. Number of groups/species varied with the stations and also with the depths. Population density was ...
Effect of varying frontal systems on stable oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions of modern planktic foraminifera of Southern Ocean
(Current Science Association, 2011)
Studies have been carried out in the Atlantic and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean regarding the movement of its fronts (water-masses boundaries) with changing climate and other oceanic parameters. But the Indian ...
Assessment of fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments by multiple primer approach
(Springer, 2012)
Increasing evidence of the fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments has come from amplification of environmental DNA with fungal specific or eukaryote primer sets. In order to assess the fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments ...
Speciation of iron and manganese in the sediments of Mandovi Estuary
(CAS in Marine Biology, Parangipettai, 1991)
Several attempts have been made to study the distribution of iron and manganese in Mandovi Estuary, Goa, India. But this is the first report of its kind on the speciation of these metals in sediments from Indian waters. ...
Mixed response in bacterial and biochemical variables to simulated sand mining in placer-rich beach sediments, Ratnagiri, West coast of India
(Springer, 2012)
The influence of mechanical disturbance of sediment-akin to small scale mining on bacterial community and biochemical variables was investigated at Kalbadevi beach, Ratnagiri, a placer-rich beach ecosystem which is a ...
Stable nitrogen isotopic ratios of sinking particles and sediments from the northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2005)
Delta sup(15)N values in modern sediments of the northern Indian Ocean range from less than 4 ppt in the northern Bay of Bengal to greater than 11 ppt in the central Arabian Sea due to the strong spatial variability of ...
