Stratified and stirred: Monsoon freshwater in the Bay of Bengal
… These dynamics are investigated in the Bay of Bengal, motivated by the upper ocean’s potentially coupled interactions with Monsoon winds and convection. The region’s excess precipitation and runoff generates strong salinity gradients that typically set density fronts and stratification …

The Role of Kelvin Waves on the Circulation and Salt Transport Variability in the Coastal Bay of Bengal
… Ocean, Kelvin waves originate from Wyrtki jets off the east African coast and propagate along the equatorial wave guide until reaching Sumatra, where they follow the coastal waveguide counter-clockwise around the perimeter of the Bay of Bengal (BoB). We observed these Kelvin waves using the sea …

Real-time flood mapping for disaster management decision support in Chennai
… combining computing and social science knowledge of disasters has become an important field of study in the last decade (Palen and Anderson 2016). With the unprecedented growth of social media, the disaster knowledge has transformed from being expert-driven knowledge to an everyday knowledge …

Aridification of the Indian subcontinent during the Holocene : implications for landscape evolution, sedimentation, carbon cycle, and human civilizations
The Indian monsoon affects the livelihood of over one billion people. Despite the importance of climate to society, knowledge of long-term monsoon variability is limited. This thesis provides Holocene records of monsoon variability, using sediment cores from river-dominated margins of the Bay of …

Study On the Basin Scale Salt Exchange In the Indian Ocean Using Satellite Observations and Model Simulations
<p>The importance of Indian Ocean circulation dynamics to the regional and global weather signatures is increasingly recognized at large partly due to improved ocean observations in the last few decades. Observational and modeling efforts are directed towards understanding the impact of …

SURFACE AND AEROSOL EFFECTS ON THE SOUTH ASIAN MONSOON HYDROCLIMATE
… Plain (IGP) leads to large-scale variations of the monsoon: cloudiness reduction associated with increased aerosols is suggested to play an important role in triggering surface heating over India, which strengthens the monsoon. Indeed, a closer analysis with high resolution data depicts a …

Persistence of Depositional Features in a Strongly Seasonal, Tide-Dominated Delta
… Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) Delta is one of the largest deltas in the world, covering more than 100,000 km<sup>2</sup>. The GBM River system transports over one billion tons of sediment annually and delivers ~750 million tons to the Bay of Bengal, ~25% of which is advected by tides into …

Mechanisms of terrestrial organic carbon export and preservation in the marine environment
Export of terrestrial carbon from land to sea is a globally important carbon flux that is poorly constrained and has implication for atmospheric carbon levels over modern and geologic timescales. Many factors control the fate of exported carbon and the subsequent impact on carbon budgets, including …

Changes in monsoonal precipitation and atmospheric circulation during the Holocene reconstructed from stalagmites from Northeastern India
Recent years witnessed a vast advent of stalagmites as palaeoclimate archives. The multitude of geochemical and physical proxies and a promise of a precise and accurate age model greatly appeal to palaeoclimatologists. Although substantial progress was made in speleothem-based palaeoclimate …
