Biogeochemistry of iron in the Arabian sea
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2015)
The Arabian Sea is a productive basin where seasonal upwelling and convective mixing result in high surface nutrient concentrations and widespread algal blooms. The factors controlling primary productivity in the Arabian ...
Time series monitoring of water quality and microalgal diversity in a tropical bay under intense anthropogenic interference (SW coast of the Bay of Bengal, India)
(Elsevier, 2015)
In recent decades, material fluxes to coastal waters from various land based anthropogenic activities have signifi- cantly been enhanced around the globe which can considerably impact the coastal water quality and ecosystem ...
Influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on the water quality of the coastal waters around the South Andaman in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2015)
During the last decade, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) have witnessed a marginal population growth with associated variations and degradation in the water quality of the inhabited coastal region. Monthly water quality ...
Microbial iron reduction and methane oxidation in subsurface sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)
Arabian Sea is one of the most productive regions of the world's ocean with seasonal upwelling and a characteristic oxygen minimum zone. It receives a continuous input of windborne iron-rich dust which possibly stimulates ...
Response of bacterioplankton to iron fertilization of the Southern Ocean, Antarctica
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015)
Ocean iron fertilization is an approach to increase CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration. The Indo-German iron fertilization experiment “LOHAFEX” was carried out in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica in 2009 to monitor ...
Linkage between speciation of Cd in mangrove sediment and its bioaccumulation in total soft tissue of oyster from the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2016)
This study established a mechanistic linkage between Cd speciation and bioavailability in mangrove system from the west coast of India. High bioaccumulation of Cd was found in the oyster (Crassostrea sp.) even at low Cd ...
Reduction of mercury (II) by humic substances-influence of pH, salinity of aquatic system
(Springer, 2015)
This study demonstrates that under abiotic dark conditions in aquatic system, humic substances are not only capable of converting Hg(II) to Hg<sup>0</sup> but also able to bind Hg(II) ion. The degree of Hg(II) reduction ...
Southwest monsoon influences the water quality and waste assimilative capacity in the Mandovi estuary (Goa state, India)
(Taylor and Francis, 2015)
The monsoon-dominated Mandovi estuary is located in Goa state – a global tourist destination along the centralwest coast of India. In addition to factor analyses of water quality data, the water quality index (WQI), trophic ...
Oceanic pCO2 in the Indian sector of the southern Ocean during the austral summer-winter transition phase
(Elsevier, 2015)
Biogeochemical processes in the Southern Ocean (SO) play a significant role in regulating the global climate. The physical and biological processes controlling pCO<sub>2</sub> in the surface mixed layer at the Indian sector ...
Transformation of triphenyltin by Eubacteria: Fate and effects in environmental system
(Springer, 2015)
Organotins such as triphenyltin (TPT) form an important group of bio-environmental tin-substituted aromatic contaminants used in various industries. Anthropogenic activities have led to an increase in TPT concentrations ...
