  Impact of Aila on the Dissolved Oxygen Level in the Indian Sundarbans Region

  By Sufia Zaman, Sangita Agarwal, Ankita Mitra, Gahul Amin, Prosenjit Pramanick, Abhijit Mitra

  Abstract: The Indian Sundarban delta complex is one of the hot spots of biodiversity in the Indian subcontinent sustaining some 34 species of true mangrove flora. The aquatic phase is saturated with dissolved oxygen (DO) and the average values in the present study area, Ajmalmari (considered on the basis of 3 decades; 1984–2014) are 5.81 ppm, 6.43 ppm and 6.13 ppm in premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon seasons respectively. These values include …

  Forecasting Heavy Metal Level on the Basis of Acidification Trend in the Major Estuarine System of Indian Sundarbans

  By Sufia Zaman, Utpal Kumar De, Prosenjit Pramanick, Subhasree Thakur, Gahul Amin, Pardis Fazli, Abhijit Mitra

  Abstract: The authors present here the temporal oscillations of aquatic pH, zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) in the ambient media of Hooghly estuary of Indian Sundarbans and forecast values of these variables in response to acidification phenomenon. The forecast has been done on the basis of 30 years of real-time data (1984–2013). The exponentialsmoothening-based forecast reflects the gradual lowering of pH in the estuarine water that has considerable impact …
