River discharge as a major driving force on spatial and temporal variations in zooplankton biomass and community structure in the Godavari estuary India
(Springer, 2017)
Variability in horizontal zooplankton biomass distribution was investigated over 13 months in the Godavari estuary, along with physical (river discharge, temperature, salinity), chemical (nutrients, particulate organic ...
Variation of Bacterial Metabolic Rates and Organic Matter in the Monsoon-Affected Tropical Estuary (Godavari, India)
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Bacteria play a central role in the oxidation of organic matter. In tropical estuaries, bacterial metabolic rates and carbon modification are regulated by physicochemical changes influenced by the annual monsoon-mediated ...
Newly discovered deep-branching marine plastid lineages are numerically rare but globally distributed
(Current Biology, 2017)
Ocean surface warming is resulting in an expansion of stratified, low-nutrient environments, a process referred to as ocean desertification [1]. A challenge for assessing the impact of these changes is the lack of robust ...
Spatial variability of upper ocean POC export in the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean determined using particle-reactive 234 Th
(Wiley, 2017)
The northern Indian Ocean is globally significant for its seasonally reversing winds, upwelled nutrients, high biological production, and expanding oxygen minimum zones. The region acts as sink and source for atmospheric ...
Impact of river discharge on distribution of zooplankton biomass, community structure and food web dynamics in the Western coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2017)
Observations were carried out along the western coastal Bay of Bengal, to examine the physical, chemical and biological parameters during the summer monsoon particularly when the rivers of India are in flood condition and ...
Influence of river discharge on the distribution and flux of methane in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2017)
Rivers are known to be strong sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere and their discharges may also enhance its flux from the coastal ocean. In order to examine this, CH4 fluxes to the atmosphere were examined along the ...
Satellite and In Situ Observations of a Phytoplankton Bloom from Coastal Bay of Bengal: Role in pCO2 Modulation
(Springer, 2017)
A phytoplankton bloom was monitored in coastal waters of Bay of Bengal and its influence in water column properties was investigated. Significant draw down of CO2 was noted within the vicinity of the bloom associated with ...
Silicon cycle in Indian estuaries and its control by biogeochemical and anthropogenic processes
(Elsevier, 2017)
We study the silicon biogeochemical cycle and its associated parameters in 24 and 18 Indian estuaries during dry and wet periods respectively. We focus more specifically on dissolved Si (DSi), amorphous Si (ASi,) lithogenic ...
