| Time: | 4 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. |
| Venue: | 110, Lecture Hall Complex |
| Details: | The excess river discharge (Ganges–Brahmaputra–Irrawadi rivers) drive the suspended sediment flux and salinity of surface water in the Northern Bay of Bengal in modern day (Schott and McCreary, 200). The isotopic signature of freshwater is spatially restricted to the continental margin, where productivity of surface-dwelling phytoplankton during the post-monsoon period is dependent on the amount of nutrient supply (Kumar et al.,2010) or freshwater fluxes. The presentation aim at understanding the ISM freshwater fluxes and productivity during last 33kys analysing the stable oxygen and carbon isotope ratios in Globigerinoides ruber from a well-dated sediment core from the region close to the northern Bay i.e. Kakinada. |
