Denitrification activity in mangrove sediments varies with associated vegetation
(Elsevier, 2016)
To test the hypothesis that mangrove vegetation associated sediment characteristics could influence an ecologically important function such as denitrification, a study was carried out at the Divar mangrove ecosystem in ...
Coupling of bacterial nitrification with denitrification and anammox supports N removal in intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Microbial activity measurements and molecular approaches were combined to study temporal variation in nitrogen (N) removal mechanisms from muddy and sandy intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France). Stable isotopes ...
Mercury exposure and Alzheimer's disease in India: An imminent threat?
(Elsevier, 2017)
India is an industrial giant with one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. Primary energy consumption in India is third after China and the USA. Greater energy production brings the burden of increasing ...
Distribution and fractionation of rare earth elements and Yttrium in suspended and bottom sediments of the Kali estuary, western India
(Springer, 2017)
Concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) and yttrium (Y), and major metals (Al, Fe and Mn) were measured in suspended particulate matter (SPM) and bottom sediments of the Kali estuary, western India, for their distribution ...
Anaerobic carbon mineralisation through sulphate reduction in the inner shelf sediments of eastern Arabian sea
(Springer, 2017)
Monsoon-induced coastal upwelling, land run-off, benthic and atmospheric inputs make the western Indian shelf waters biologically productive that is expected to lead to high rates of mineralisation of organic matter (OM) ...
Evolution to decay of upwelling and associated biogeochemistry over the southeastern Arabian sea shelf
(AGU Publications, 2016)
Observations along 10 shelf transects in 2012 near 10°N in the southeastern Arabian Sea revealed the usual warm oligotrophic conditions during the winter monsoon and upwelling of oxygen-deficient, nutrient-rich cool water ...
Controls on evolution of gas-hydrate system in the Krishna-Godavari basin, offshore India
(American Geophysical Union Publications, 2017)
Abstract In this study, we integrate environmental magnetic, sedimentological, and geochemical records of sediment core of Hole NGHP-01-10D overlying methane hydrate deposits to decipher the controls on the evolution of ...
Nature of suspended particles in hydrothermal plume at 3°40'N Carlsberg ridge: A comparison with deep oceanic suspended matter
(Current Science Association, 2017)
Suspended matter from hydrothermal plume at 3◦40'N Carlsberg Ridge was studied for microtexture and geochemistry. Characteristics of these plume particles were compared with deep-oceanic particulates from different ...
De-oxygenation
(ICSU-IAPSO-IUGG-SCOR, Paris, 2016)
Relict olivines in micrometeorites: Precursors and interactions in the earth`s atmosphere
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)
Antarctica micrometeorites (~1200) and cosmic spherules (~5000) from deep sea sediments are studied using electron microscopy to identify Mg-rich olivine grains in order to determine the nature of the particle precursors. ...
