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 ...
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) ...
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 ...
An island chain lost in the Bay of Bengal
(Current Science Association, 2017)
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. ...
Slow spreading ridges of the Indian Ocean: An overview of marine geophysical investigations
(Indian Geophysical Union, 2016)
Sparse and non-availability of high resolution geophysical data hindered the delineation of accurate morphology, structural configuration, tectonism and spreading history of Carlsberg Ridge (CR) and Central Indian Ridges ...
Internal structure of the 85°E ridge, Bay of Bengal: Evidence for multiphase volcanism
(Elsevier, 2017)
The 85°E Ridge, located in the Bay of Bengal of the northeastern Indian Ocean is an enigmatic geological feature as it possesses unusual geophysical signatures. The ridge's internal structure and mode of eruptions are ...
