• Microplastic pollution in the surface waters of the Zuari river, Goa, India 

  Kalangutkar, N.G.; Mhapsekar, S.; Abhaykrishna, M.M.; Pednekar, P. (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment. 196; 2024; ArticleID_1007.)

  Limited research has been conducted on microplastic (MP) contamination in the rivers of Goa. To address this gap, this study examines the levels of MP contamination in the surface water of the Zuari River, Goa. We investigate ...
• A new find of anorthoclase crystals-lined vug in a deep-sea basalt, Central Indian Ocean Basin 

  Iyer, S.D.; Amonkar, A.A.; Kalangutkar, N.G.; Das, P. (Journal of the Geological Society of India. 100(9); 2024; 1257-1262.)

  We detail a new and first find of a vug in a deep-sea basalt that is lined with well-formed anorthoclase crystals. The specimen was dredged from the seafloor (water depth 4,440 m) near a seamount in the Central Indian Ocean ...
• Surface ocean-lower atmospheric processes in the Indian Ocean: Current understanding, knowledge gaps, and future directions 

  AshwiniKumar; Tegtmeier, S.; Fernandes, S.O.; Biswas, H.; Girach, I.; Roxy, M.K.; Kurian, S.; Marandino, C.A.; Sarma, V.V.S.S.; Shenoy, D.M. (Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene. 12(1); 2024; ArticleID_00041.)

  Our understanding of surface ocean and lower atmosphere processes in the Indian Ocean (IO) region shows significant knowledge gaps mainly due to the paucity of observational studies. The IO basin is bordered by landmasses ...
• The Central Indian Tectonic Zone: A Rodinia supercontinent-forming collisional zone and analogy with the Grenville and Sveconorwegian orogens 

  Bhattacharya, A.; Banerjee, A.; Sequeira, N. (Geosphere. 19(5); 2023; 1300-1317.)

  In the paleogeographic reconstructions of the Rodinia supercontinent, the circum-global 1.1-0.9 Ga collisional belt is speculated to skirt the SE coast of India, incorporating the Rodinian-age Eastern Ghats Province. But ...
• The Blue Economy Paradigm and Seafloor Massive Sulfides along the Indian Ocean Ridge Systems (Chapter 10) 

  Kalangutkar, N.G.; Amonkar, A.A.; Iyer, S.D. (Global Blue Economy, Ed. by Md. Nazrul Islam, Steven M. Bartell. 2023; 285-308.)

  The Indian Ocean with its four major ridge systems collectively forms the Indian Ocean Ridge System (IORS). The hydrothermal fields along these ridges, namely the Carlsberg Ridge (CR), Central Indian Ridge (CIR), South ...
• Microplastic pollution in the Chapora River, Goa, Southwest India: spatial distribution and risk assessment 

  Kalangutkar, N.G.; Mhapsekar, S.; Redkar, P.; Valsan, G.; Warrier, A. (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment. 196; 2024; ArticleID_409.)

  The amount of information available on the microplastic (MP) contamination in Goa's riverine water systems is currently limited. The abundance, size, colour, and polymer composition of microplastics in Chapora River surface ...
• Accumulation of absorbing aerosols over the Indian Sector of Southern Ocean during the austral summer: Role of thermal inversions 

  Sen, A.; Shaikh, A.A.; Menon, H.B.; Gogoi, M.M. (Atmospheric Research. 304; 2024; ArticleID_107351.)

  Optical properties of aerosols and their direct radiative effect were analyzed from columnar Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and ambient Black Carbon (BC) mass concentration (MB) estimated during Indian Southern Ocean Expeditions ...
