Microbe‐mediated mineralization is ubiquitous in nature, involving bacteria, fungi, viruses,
and algae. These mineralization processes comprise calcification, silicification, and iron …

Biomineralization by marine phytoplankton, such as the silicifying diatoms and calcifying
coccolithophores, plays an important role in carbon and nutrient cycling in the oceans …

Scale-bearing siliceous nannoplankton are occasionally encountered in surface seawater
samples, but are rarely identified or illustrated. In this study, the morphological diversity of …

Sea surface and sub-surface (0-110m) water samples were collected from the Southern
Indian Ocean between 39° S and 65° S (along~ 48° E and 57.3° E) during the austral …

Siliceous scales observed in an upper Miocene outcrop sample from the Caltanissetta
Basin, Sicily, are similar to those of the extant haptophyte Hyalolithus neolepis and the fossil …

The analysis of water samples collected during the MD218 CROTALE expedition (February-
March, 2019), and the 4th Indian Southern Ocean Expedition (SOE)(January-February …

The calcareous nannofossil genus Biscutum is ubiquitous in mid to Upper Cretaceous
pelagic sediments. Biscutum constans is an important paleoceanographic proxy for surface …

Polar regions are highly sensitive to climate change and are crucial for regulating the Earth's
climate. While the past climatic changes were forced differently than the ongoing and future …

Siliceous scales resembling those of the living haptophyte Hyalolithus neolepis Yoshida et
al. were discovered in middle Eocene outcrop sediments from the Kellogg Shale in …

Polar science in India has gained enough impetus post the 1980's with the launching of the
Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica on 6th December 1981 and the establishment of …
