Scattered wave imaging of the Main Himalayan Thrust and mid-crustal ramp beneath the Arunachal Himalaya and its relation to seismicity
(Elsevier, 2022)
Despite numerous seismological experiments in the Himalaya, the Main Himalayan Thrust and the mid-crustal ramp, that is postulated to host major earthquakes in the region, are not precisely imaged.Within the Himalaya, the ...
Three green seaweed extracts and their fractions for ecofriendly management of pestiferous insect Spodoptera litura
(Springer, 2022)
Polyphagous pest Spodoptera litura poses a serious threat to important agriculture crops and their products.A green ecofriendly alternative to existing chemical pesticides, bio-fertilizers are preferred to protect the crop ...
Risk assessments of microplastics accumulated in estuarine sediments at Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, southeast coast of India
(Springer, 2023)
In this study, the abundance of microplastics (MPs) in the Uppanar and Gadilam estuaries in Cuddalore, on the southeast coast of India, is reported. In the estuarine sediments, MP abundance ranged from 36.3 ± 3.39 to ...
Performance of ERA5 winds on computed storm surge and wave-current interaction using a coupled model during Ockhi cyclone
(Springer, 2023)
A fully coupled numerical model was setup to simulate tides as well as storm surges and waves generated by the very severe cyclonic storm Ockhi, which occurred in the Arabian Sea during 29 November-6 December 2017. ERA5 ...
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 ...
Heavy metals concentration in zooplankton (copepods) in the western Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2023)
Along the coastline, urbanisation and industrialization pose significant challenges to marine habitats and biodiversity. Most wastewater that reaches the marine environment contains toxic metals, which, as they are ...
Dissolved methane in Indian freshwater reservoirs
(Springer, 2013)
Emission of methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, from tropical reservoirs is of interest because such reservoirs experience conducive conditions for CH4 production through anaerobic microbial activities. It has been ...
Benthic mineralization and nutrient exchange over the inner continental shelf of western India.
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)
The western Indian continental shelf is one of the most productive coastal systems of the world ocean. This system experiences extreme changes in its oxygen regime, being normoxic from November to May and suboxic ...
Benthic fluxes in a tropical estuary and their role in the ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2009)
In-situ measurements of benthic fluxes of oxygen and nutrients were made in the subtidal region of the Mandovi estuary during premonsoon and monsoon seasons to understand the role of sediment-water exchange processes in ...
Preliminary observations on the coral reef communities in Angria Bank, an isolated carbonate bank in the Northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2023)
Submerged carbonate banks are of significant geological and biological importance and relatively little is known about the biodiversity of these deeper and less accessible habitats. This study provides pilot information ...
