Sedimentary pigments and nature of organic matter within the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Eastern Arabian Sea (Indian margin)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Sedimentary pigments, carbon and nitrogen content and their stable isotopes were studied in three short cores collected from the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). Nine pigments including chlorophyll ...
Nitrogen fixation rates in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The Arabian Sea experiences bloom of the diazotroph Trichodesmium during certain times of the year when optimal sea surface temperature and oligotrophic condition favour their growth. We measured nitrogen fixation rates ...
Effect of salinity induced pH/alkalinity changes on benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture experiment
(Elsevier, 2015)
The salinity of coastal waters in the vicinity of seasonally fresh water fed estuaries changes tremendously and reportedly affects the living calcite secreting organisms like foraminifera, as well as their dead remains. ...
Biogeochemistry and ecology of Pyrosoma spinosum from the Central Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2015)
Background: A swarm of pelagic tunicate (Pyrosoma spinosum) was found in the surface open waters of the Arabian Sea during late southwest monsoon (September 2007). The swarm site was characterized by moderate southwesterly ...
CSIR - National Institute of Oceanography
(Indian National Science Academy, 2016)
This is an institutional report of CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, India showcasing its growth over last 50 years in Oceanographic research with special focus on Indian Ocean areas. The major research areas include ...
Mineralogy and Sr–Nd isotopes of SPM and sediment from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries: Influence of weathering and anthropogenic contribution
(Elsevier, 2015)
Clay minerals and Sr–Nd isotopes of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and bottom sediment were investigated along transect stations of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, western India to determine the provenance and role ...
Variations in Denitrification and Ventilation Within the Arabian Sea Oxygen Minimum Zone During the Holocene
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)
The continental slope of India is exposed to an intense perennial oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) supporting pelagic denitrification. Sediments that are presently in contact with the lower boundary of the denitrification zone ...
Ocean iron fertilization
(TERI Press, 2011)
In 2009 and 2010, an Indo-German scientific expedition dusted the ocean with iron to stimulate the biological pump that captures atmosphereic carbon dioxide. Two onboard scientists tell the story of this controversial ...
Carbon and nitrogen fluxes in the North Indian Ocean
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)
The land mass that blocks the Indian Ocean in the north at low latitudes profoundly influences the climate, circulation and biogeochemical processes of its northern basins. The asymmetrical distribution
of freshwater and ...
Methane stimulates massive nitrogen loss from freshwater reservoirs in India
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
The fate of the enormous amount of reactive nitrogen released to the environment by human activities in India is unknown. Here we show occurrence of seasonal stratification and generally low concentrations of dissolved ...
