Impact of accidental leakage of furnace oil on Mahul creek mangrove vegetation
(NISCAIR Publications, 2016)
A pipeline carrying furnace/black oil from Butcher Island to the petrochemical complex at Mahul in Mumbai started leaking during 3rdweek of October 2013 and went unnoticed till first week of November 2013. The alignment ...
An appraisal of biological responses and network of environmental interactions in non-mining and mining impacted coastal waters
(Springer, 2015)
The coastal waters of Goa and Ratnagiri lying on the West coast of India are influenced by terrestrial influx. However, Goa is influenced anthropogenically by iron-ore mining, while Ratnagiri is influenced by deposition ...
Environmental issues of deep-sea mining
(Elsevier, 2015)
As terrestrial mineral deposits are either depleting or of low grade, minerals from the deep-sea like the polymetallic nodules, cobalt rich crusts and polymetallicsulfides are considered as alternative sources for metals ...
Heavy metals pollution influence the community structure of Cyanobacteria in nutrient rich tropical estuary
(OMICS International, 2015)
Anthropogenic inputs influence the community structure and activities of microorganisms, which may impinge the functioning of estuarine and coastal ecosystem. The aim of the present study was to understand the influence ...
Lead distribution in coastal and estuarine sediments around India
(Elsevier, 2015)
This study describes the geochemical distribution of lead (Pb) and identifies the critical factors that significantly control Pb distribution and speciation in coastal and estuarine sediments around India by using published ...
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 ...
Mineralogy and Sr–Nd isotopes of SPM and sediment from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries: Influence of weathering and anthropogenic contribution
(Elsevier, 2015)
Clay minerals and Sr–Nd isotopes of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and bottom sediment were investigated along transect stations of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, western India to determine the provenance and role ...
Magnetic properties of sediments in cores from the Mandovi estuary, western India: Inferences on provenance and pollution
(Elsevier, 2015)
Magnetic properties of sediments were investigated in 7 gravity cores recovered along a transect of the Mandovi estuary, western India to understand their provenance and pollution. The maximum magnetic susceptibility of ...
Influence of 2015 flood on the distribution and occurrence of microplastic pellets along the Chennai coast, India
(Elsevier, 2016)
The sources, distribution, surface features, polymer composition and age of microplastic pellets (MPPs) in surface sediments along the Chennai coast during March 2015 (pre-Chennai flood) and November 2015 (post-Chennai ...
Decadal changes in shoreline patterns in Sundarbans, India
(Jounal of coastal sciences, 2015)
Sundarbans is one of the most populated and largest deltas in the world and is located at the mouth of three major rivers- Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna that empty into the Bay of Bengal along the east coast of India. The ...
