Ostracode Research Activities inINDIA
Correspondent: --- open ---
Hussain, Shaik M. The research work on the ecology, distribution and taxonomy of Recent marine ostracodes from the innershelf sediments off Tuticorin (Gulf of Mannar), off Rameswaram (Palk Bay), off Mahabalipuram, near Madras (Bay of Bengal) is being continued. Similar studies on the brackish water fauna of the Adyar River estuary and also the beach sediment samples collected from Kanyakumari, Vattakottai, and other locations are going on. Mrs. A. Mini Kumari has been awarded a Ph.D. Degree for her doctoral thesis entitled, "Systematics, Distribution and Ecology of Recent Ostracoda from off Mahabalipuram, near Madras, Tamil Nadu, South India" under the supervision of Prof. S. P. Mohan (April 12, 1998).
Mallikarjuna, U. B. I am a Young Scientist awardee working on biostratigraphic, paleoecologic and paleobiogeographic implications of Middle Jurassic-Early Cretaceous ostracodes and charophytes of western Indian formations under the "Young Scientist" project of the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi, India. I have started a collaborative work on various aspects of fresh water ostracodes from the Kota Formation (Middle Jurassic), Pranhita-Godavari valley, Central India with Prof.G.V.R. Prasad (Univ. of Jammu, India) and Prof. K.G. McKenzie (Wagha, Wagha, Australia).
Mannikeri, M. S. I am continuing my studies on Jurassic and Palaeogene marine and nonmarine microfauna of the Western Rajasthan. I am also working on the taxonomy, morphology and ecology of the Recent marine and nonmarine ostracodes from North Karnataka, Andhara Pradesh and Goa. I attended and chaired a technical session on ostracodes at the XVI Indian Colloquium on Micropalaeontology and Stratigraphy held at N.I.O. Goa from 22-25 January, 1998. I delivered a special lecture at this meeting on the "Role of Ostracoda in Micropalaeontological Research".
Singh, Pratap. At present I am working as a petroleum exploration biostratigraphy consultant and continuing my study of Mesozoic-Recent ostracods. I am working on Tertiary ostracods of Kachchh in collaboration with M. P. Singh (Department of Geology, University of Lucknow, Lucknow). I am also studying Tertiary ostracods of the Subathu Group of the Himalayas.
Vaidya, Arun S. I am presently continuing studies on Quaternary marine and brackish (estuarine) and nonmarine ostracode and foraminifers from India. I attended and presented a research paper at the XVI Indian Colloquium on Micropalaeontology and Stratigarphy (see Recent Papers list) held at N.I.O. Goa from 22-25 January, 1998. I also attended and presented a research paper on ostracodes at the National Seminar on Coastal Zone Management held at S.D.M. Engineering College, Dharwad from 10-11 December 1998.
