Ravichnadran President, Ocean Society of India (OSI) Director, National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Goa Welcome Message ational Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) of Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India proud to be the host for the 7ʰ biennial edition of the NNational Conference of the Ocean Society of India (OSICON-21) in collaboration with Ocean Society of India (OSI) from 12-14 August 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has an immense global impact and has claimed many casualties. Our deepest condolences go out to the people who have lost a loved one and to the people who have suffered during this pandemic. This year, while we regret that the COVID-19 pandemic prevented us from holding the conference in Goa, we are excited about the opportunities of holding an innovative virtual conference. The theme of the OSICON-21 three-day conference is “Ocean for Sustainable Development”. We expect that the online conference will enable you to share your research with other Indian Oceanographic communities and discuss the current issues related to research in Oceanography. There are three parallel sessions each day. The meeting includes a range of presentations, invited talks, oral presentations, and poster presentations, covering seven themes, viz (i) Marine ecosystems and Biogeochemistry of the Ocean, (ii) Coastal and open Ocean processes, (iii) Climate change, (iv) Polar Science and cryosphere, (v) Ocean Engineering and Technology, (vi) Marine Geology and Geophysics and (vii) Mathematics in Ocean sciences. I would like to thank and acknowledge the Chief Guest, invited speakers, Chairman and coordinators of the session, LOC, GC-OSI, advisory commiee, sponsors, delegates, and the support team who have worked hard to make this conference a truly successful one. I request all the delegates and participants to take part in all the activities that we have come up with for three days. I sincerely hope that this OSICON-21 conference will deliberate and discuss all the different facets of Oceanography and come up with recommendations that will lead to the development of sustainable oceans. I welcome you to this conference and look forward to your active and enthusiastic participation: we have so much to learn from each other. With best regards, (M. Ravichandran) President, OSI 2 Preface Dr. Avinash Kumar Dr. R.K. Mishra Dr. N. Anilkumar Co-Convener Co-Convener Convener he Ocean Society of India (OSI), established in 2006, acts as a medium for partaking in the gen and know-how of the entities, industrial organizations, research institutions Temployed in the various regimes of the ocean. It is a professional society encompassing Academicians, Researchers, Technologists and Engineers from Universities, Scientific Institutions and Industries occupied in the Ocean-Atmospheric related investigations. The OSI provides gaits towards information amelioration for the research and development of our country. OSI is organizing the OSICON biennial National Conference since 2009. Various reputed organizations and universities across the country have hosted the conference very successfully. Distinguished scientists, professors, research scholars, and students from several scientific institutes and universities have actively participated in the previous conferences. To date, six conferences are being conducted. The OSICON-21 is going to be held at National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research, Goa, during 12-14 August 2021. The conference is planned to be conducted on a virtual (online) platform. It is a prestigious tribute for us to release the Book of Abstracts of Seventh Biennial Conference of Ocean Society of India (OSI), organised by the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India. We have received a prodigious riposte and splendid quality abstracts for all the scientific themes included in the present conference. Ocean, as an ecological unit, mollifies the global weather and climate. Nonetheless, due to the anthropogenic interferences, most of the ocean environments are geing too vulnerable to alleviate the climatic conditions. Accordingly, United Nations (UN) has asserted 'Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030)' to enlighten mankind about the importance of the role of oceans in climatic variabilities. India’s Deep Ocean Mission launching will throw light on the unknown resources and their extraction from the deep ocean regimes. OSICON-21 provided an exceptional platform for the researchers in India to discuss their findings and future outlooks in the major themes Marine Ecosystem and Biogeochemistry of the Ocean, Climate and Climate Change, Coastal and open Ocean processes, Marine Geology and Geophysics, Ocean Engineering and Technology, Polar Science and Cryosphere, Mathematics in Ocean Science. The necessity for partaking in dazzling and inspiring concepts in this vital area of research is encountered with identical fervour and sustenance from the contributors as perceived from their retort to this platform. 3 PREFACE 4 The technical commiee carried out the peer review of all the abstracts with Dr. Prasad Bhaskaran, IIT, Kharagpur as the chairman. We express our sincere gratitude to all reviewers who helped us include the high-quality research papers in the conference proceedings. This Abstracts volume has 113 oral presentations and 103 poster presentations spread over 7 themes. Considering the present COVID scenario, only so copies of the conference proceedings were made available. This proceedings volume with abstracts is made to give wider publicity for the admirable scientific investigations going on in our country in the focal themes of this conference. We are exceptionally thankful to The President and GC Members of OSI for providing us with an opportunity to deliver our best efforts for the accomplishment of this conference. We are assertive that the scientific and technical contributions made by all the authors, invited speakers, chairmen and coordinators, advertisers, exhibitors, sponsors, and participants in this conference will augment to fill the knowledge gap in the various remote regimes of the oceans. We extend our sincere gratefulness to all the contributors. All members of the Organizing Commiee, especially Dr. Ravidas K Naik, Dr. Rohit Srivastava, Mr. Lalit Ahirwar, Dr. P. Sabu, Dr. Jenson V George, and all Technical Commiees members are extensively acknowledged for their immense support to conduct this conference successfully. We trust that OSICON-21 is the best juncture for making associations among the researchers. We delivered our responsibilities sincerely for the success of this conference and sorry for the apprehensions faced by you, if any. We wish you all a fruitful meeting. Avinash Kumar R.K. Mishra N.

    Is Rapid Climate Change in the Arctic a Planetary Emergency? Peter Carter, November 2013 Updated 2019

    Is Rapid Climate Change in the Arctic a Planetary Emergency? Peter Carter, November 2013 updated 2019. Introduction This paper presents a compelling case, supported by the climate change research, that the combination of: • global inaction on greenhouse gas emissions, • climate system inertias, and • multiple enormous Arctic sources of amplifying feedbacks (covered in this paper) constitutes an extreme-risk planetary emergency, for the survival of civilization, the human race and most life Research on climate change and the Arctic shows that we face a catastrophic risk of uncontrollable, accelerating global warming due to several amplifying feedbacks from enormous feedback sources in the Arctic. These include the Arctic snow/ice-albedo feedback and greenhouse gas feedbacks (methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide). Under global warming, the Arctic is changing far faster than other regions of Earth. Numerous – and extremely large – Arctic sources of amplifying feedbacks are already responding (have been triggered in response) to rapid Arctic warming. These Arctic feedbacks, if not addressed in time (now) and with the appropriate degree of mitigation, can only be expected to accelerate the rate of global warming. They constitute a very large risk of planetary catastrophic consequences, including Arctic greenhouse gas feedback so-called "runaway" chaotic climate disruption / runaway global heating/ hot house Earth. This paper describes global warming positive feedbacks already operant in the Arctic, and explains the large risk of planetary

    Critical Review pubs.acs.org/est Review of Methane Mitigation Technologies with Application to Rapid Release of Methane from the Arctic Joshuah K. Stolaroff,* Subarna Bhattacharyya, Clara A. Smith, William L. Bourcier, Philip J. Cameron-Smith, and Roger D. Aines Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Methane is the most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, with particular influence on near-term climate change. It poses increasing risk in the future from both direct anthropogenic sources and potential rapid release from the Arctic. A range of mitigation (emissions control) technologies have been developed for anthropogenic sources that can be developed for further application, including to Arctic sources. Significant gaps in understanding remain of the mechanisms, magnitude, and likelihood of rapid methane release from the Arctic. Methane may be released by several pathways, including lakes, wetlands, and oceans, and may be either uniform over large areas or concentrated in patches. Across Arctic sources, bubbles originating in the sediment are the most important mechanism for methane to reach the atmosphere. Most known technologies operate on confined gas streams of 0.1% methane or more, and may be applicable to limited Arctic sources where methane is concentrated in pockets. However, some mitigation strategies developed for rice paddies and agricultural soils are promising for Arctic wetlands and thawing permafrost. Other mitigation strategies specific to the Arctic have been proposed but have yet to be studied. Overall, we identify four avenues of research and development that can serve the dual purposes of addressing current methane sources and potential Arctic sources: (1) methane release detection and quantification, (2) mitigation units for small and remote methane streams, (3) mitigation methods for dilute (<1000 ppm) methane streams, and (4) understanding methanotroph and methanogen ecology.

The impact of future Arctic Ocean warming on the hydrate 4 stability and its contribution to atmospheric methane concentrations remains an important and 5 unanswered question. Here, we estimate the climate impact of released methane from oceanic 6 gas hydrates in the Arctic to the atmosphere towards the end of the 21st century, integrating 7 hydrate stability and atmospheric modeling. Based on future climate models, we estimate that 8 increasing ocean temperatures over the next 100 years could release up to 17 ± 6 Gt C into the 9 Arctic Ocean. However, the released methane has a limited or minor impact on the global 10 mean surface temperature, contributing only 0.1 % of the projected anthropogenic influenced 11 warming over the 21st century. 12 1.

The potential turnover of frozen ground from a carbon sink to a carbon source, eroding coastlines, landslides, amplified surface deformation and endangerment of human infrastructure are some of the consequences connected with thawing permafrost. Satellite remote sensing is hereby a powerful tool to identify and monitor these features and processes on a spatially explicit, cheap, operational, long-term basis and up to circum-Arctic scale. By filtering after a selection of relevant keywords, a total of 325 articles from 30 international journals published during the last two decades were analyzed based on study location, spatio- temporal resolution of applied remote sensing data, platform, sensor combination and studied environmental focus for a comprehensive overview of past achievements, current efforts, together with future challenges and opportunities. The temporal development of publication frequency, utilized platforms/sensors and the addressed environmental topic is thereby highlighted.

Furthermore, there is increasing awareness that shallow sediments has been linked to megascale submarine landslides (12), hydrate-related methane seeps have appeared due to enhanced pockmarks (13), craters (14), and gas dome structures (15). warming of Arctic Ocean bottom water during the last century. Gas and water that constitute a hydrate crystalline solid within Although it has been argued that a gas hydrate gun could trigger the pore space of sediment remain stable within a gas hydrate abrupt climate change, the processes and rates of subsurface/ stability zone (GHSZ) that is a function of bottom water tem- atmospheric natural gas exchange remain uncertain. Here we perature, subbottom geothermal gradient, hydrostatic and litho- investigate the dynamics between gas hydrate stability and static pressure, pore water salinity, and the specific composition environmental changes from the height of the last glaciation of the natural gas concerned.
