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 ...
The relationship between volatile halocarbons and phytoplankton pigments during a Trichodesmium bloom in the coastal eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2011)
Eukaryotic phytoplankton such as diatoms and prymnesiophytes produce biogenic halocarbons in the ocean that serve as important sources of chlorine and bromine to the atmosphere, but the role of cyanobacteria in halocarbon ...
Variations in some environmental characteristics including C and N stable isotopic composition of suspended organic matter in the Mandovi estuary
(Springer, 2011)
Chemical and isotopic (delta sup(13)C and delta sup(15)N) investigation of the Mandovi estuary along the Indian west coast affected strongly by the seasonal monsoon cycle was carried out. The Mandovi estuary is a major ...
Sedimentary sulphate reduction and organic matter mineralization across salinity gradient of the Mandovi Estuary, West coast of India
(Elsevier, 2019)
The Mandovi Estuary, located along the tropical west coast of India, transforms from being a freshwater-dominated body during the monsoon season to a tide-dominated system during post-monsoon season, with a salinity gradient ...
Upwelling intensity modulates N2O concentrations over the western Indian shelf
(American Geophysical Union Publications, 2016)
Repeat measurements of dissolved nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) along two transects of the western continental shelf of India in 2012 revealed high concentrations of 45±32 nM (off Kochi) and 73±63 nM (off Mangalore) during ...
Methane dynamics in the shelf waters of the West coast of India during seasonal anoxia
(Elsevier, 2018)
The Western Continental Shelf of India experiences water-column anoxia during late summer/early autumn, thereby providing conducive conditions for methane (CH4) accumulation. Measurements of CH4 along with other ancillary ...
Mud Banks along the southwest coast of India are not too muddy for plankton
(2018)
Considering Alappuzha Mud Bank in the southern Kerala coast as a typical case of biologically productive Mud Banks that form along the southwest coast of India during the Southwest Monsoon (June - September), the present ...
Atmospheric fine and coarse mode aerosols at different environments of India and the Bay of Bengal during winter-2014: Implications of a coordinated campaign
(Metrology Society of India, 2014)
In this paper, we present mass concentrations of particulate matter [PM<sub>2.5</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub> size fractions and total suspended particulates (TSP)] measured simultaneously over land stations (Kullu, Patiala, ...
