Evaluation of tidal stream energy at major tidal inlets of Goa, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
An attempt has been made to identify promising sites for tidal stream energy assessment along the Goa coast on central west coast of India. A two-dimensional tidal-driven validated numerical model is used to assess the ...
Holocene variability in chemical weathering and ocean redox state: A reconstruction using sediment geochemistry of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)
Major and trace elemental geochemistry of a sediment core (SSK40/GC10; water depth ~50 m) from the eastern Arabian Sea (17� 59.89123 N, 72� 22.45161 E) have been investigated to reconstruct the continental weathering pattern ...
Dissolved iron cycling in the Arabian Sea and sub-tropical gyre region of the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2022)
Understanding the sources and biogeochemical processes influencing the dissolved iron (DFe) distribution is crucial because of its coupled role in C- and N-fixation in the oceans. Vertical depth profiles of DFe in the ...
Meso-scale foreshore evolution in low-energy, storm-dominated tropical west coast of India: Implications for shoreline management
(Springer, 2022)
Along the tropical coast, there is cyclic variation in wind, wave currents, water and sediment influx, and the coasts experience a monsoonal storm surge that reaches nearly 2-3 times higher than the rest of the year, and ...
Macroalgal susceptibility to grazing by herbivore fish Siganus spp. at Gulf of Mannar reef, Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2022)
Enhancing the herbivore fish stock is envisaged as a mitigation tool to reverse the macroalgal dominance in a coral reef environment. However, identifying the key species of herbivore fish that significantly controls the ...
Oxygen minimum zone copepods in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal: Their adaptations and status
(Elsevier, 2022)
The Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are cul-de-sacs of the northern Indian Ocean, and they contain more than half of the world's Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs). The current study reviews the vast and advancing literature ...
Environmental Impacts of Thermal and Brine Dispersion Using Hydrodynamic Modelling for Yanbu Desalination Plant, on the Eastern Coast of the Red Sea
(MDPI, 2022)
For any coastal desalination plant, the most effective and practical way to dispose of their brine is to thermally discharge it into the sea via outfalls at some distance from the coast. This study focused on the environmental ...
Geochemistry of sediments in contact with oxygen minimum zone of the eastern Arabian Sea: Proxy for palaeo-studies
(Springer, 2022)
The Arabian Sea encompasses oxygen minimum zone with denitrifying conditions. For the present study, sediments were collected across three transects off Goa transect (GT), Mangalore transect (MT) and Kochi transect (KT) ...
A study on the physical and biogeochemical responses of the Bay of Bengal due to cyclone Madi
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Madi was a category-2 cyclonic storm formed over the south-western Bay of Bengal (BoB) in December 2013. It formed on 6th December as a depression, and by 8th December it became a very severe cyclonic storm. Some unique ...
Recent developments in essentiality of trivalent chromium and toxicity of hexavalent chromium: Implications on human health and remediation strategies
(Elsevier, 2022)
Among the many heavy metals, chromium (Cr) is one of the fascinating ones. In its two most prevalent oxidation forms, trivalent (Cr3+) and hexavalent (Cr6+), Cr has completely different toxicity and essentiality in human ...
