Use of the Boron partition coefficient ‘K<sub>D</sub>’ and B/Ca from planktonic foraminifera in the estimation of past seawater pCO<sub>2</sub>
(Geochemical Society of Japan, 2015)
We assess the usefulness of the empirical boron partition coefficient, K<sub>D</sub> and B/Ca measured from planktonic foraminifera in estimation of pCO<sub>2</sub> using three different relationships between K<sub>D</sub> ...
Linkage between speciation of Cd in mangrove sediment and its bioaccumulation in total soft tissue of oyster from the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2016)
This study established a mechanistic linkage between Cd speciation and bioavailability in mangrove system from the west coast of India. High bioaccumulation of Cd was found in the oyster (Crassostrea sp.) even at low Cd ...
Why is the Bay of Bengal experiencing a reduced rate of sea surface warming?
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2016)
The sea surface temperature (SST) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the period 1960–1995 showed a decadal cycle, riding over a warming trend. The disruption of the decadal cycle was noticed post-1995 and was followed by a ...
Relationship between the lability of sediment-bound Cd and its bioaccumulation in edible oyster.
(Elsevier, 2015)
A linkage between Cd speciation in sediments and its bioaccumulation in edible oyster (Crassostrea sp.) from a tropical estuarine system was established. Bioaccumulation of Cd in edible oyster increased with the increasing ...
Reduction of mercury (II) by humic substances-influence of pH, salinity of aquatic system
(Springer, 2015)
This study demonstrates that under abiotic dark conditions in aquatic system, humic substances are not only capable of converting Hg(II) to Hg<sup>0</sup> but also able to bind Hg(II) ion. The degree of Hg(II) reduction ...
Phosphorous fractionation in mangrove sediments of Kerala, south west coast of India: the relative importance of inorganic and organic phosphorous fractions
(Springer, 2016)
The study of phosphorous dynamics in mangrove ecosystems of the northern Kerala coast aims to delineate its relationships with other biogeochemical parameters. Our intension is to check the validity of the hypothesis that ...
Southwest monsoon influences the water quality and waste assimilative capacity in the Mandovi estuary (Goa state, India)
(Taylor and Francis, 2015)
The monsoon-dominated Mandovi estuary is located in Goa state – a global tourist destination along the centralwest coast of India. In addition to factor analyses of water quality data, the water quality index (WQI), trophic ...
Oceanic pCO2 in the Indian sector of the southern Ocean during the austral summer-winter transition phase
(Elsevier, 2015)
Biogeochemical processes in the Southern Ocean (SO) play a significant role in regulating the global climate. The physical and biological processes controlling pCO<sub>2</sub> in the surface mixed layer at the Indian sector ...
Partitioning of metals in different binding phases of tropical estuarine sediments: importance of metal chemistry
(Springer, 2016)
Distribution of metals in different binding phases of estuarine sediments provides chemically significant description of metal–sediment interactions. This study describes the influences of ligand field stabilization energy ...
Transformation of triphenyltin by Eubacteria: Fate and effects in environmental system
(Springer, 2015)
Organotins such as triphenyltin (TPT) form an important group of bio-environmental tin-substituted aromatic contaminants used in various industries. Anthropogenic activities have led to an increase in TPT concentrations ...
