New paper: can benthic foraminifera tell us how healthy a mangrove is? We built an updated baseline for the Sundarbans and Budhabalanga estuary, giving restoration programmes a benchmark to monitor against. Sincere thanks & Grateful to @BhadPunyasloke Sir and @Anweghosh Didi.
Check this new paper led by @ArkapravaManda7 with @Anweghosh where we took comprehensive ecological health re-assessment using benthic foraminifera assemblages from two large mangrove ecosystems located along northeast Bay of Bengal including Sundarbans @SpringerNature @ITMERG1
What the paper adds: we combined published records with new observations, built a species matrix. Happy to discuss how this baseline could feed monitoring work. #mangroves #Sundarbans #BayOfBengal #foraminifera #CoastalEcology
Pleased to share that our paper is now officially online in Marine Environmental Research! As I continue pursuing opportunities in environmental consulting, biodiversity monitoring, and nature based solutions, I'm excited to translate this research into practical decision making.
Happy to share our latest publication! A year of biomonitoring shows how monsoon-driven freshwater pulses shape intertidal benthic foraminiferal communities in the northeast Bay of Bengal. Sincere thanks to @BhadPunyasloke Sir and @Anweghosh Didi for their guidance and mentorship

#Just accepted#
@ArkapravaManda7 show how intertidal benthic foraminifera communities respond to freshwater pulses including in monsoon based on intense twelve months of biomonitoring from our Coastal Bay of Bengal Time Series Site @cbobts @Anweghosh @ITMERG1 @ElsevierConnect
I'm actively seeking full-time opportunities in
Environmental Consulting

Biodiversity & Restoration
Blue Carbon Natural Capital
Open to opportunities in India and internationally.
If you know of relevant roles, I'd appreciate a connection or a repost.

What is the current status of world's mangroves ? What are the success stories and long-term challenges?
As coordinating author along with writing team members, we have provided key insights in mangroves subchapter of Third World Ocean Assessment of @UN

This is the benefit of having a range of expertise at species discovery workshops. A huge thank you to the experts who spent time with our early career researchers, growing their skills. This is how knowledge is passed down and vital work continues 👇

Teaching the taxonomy of benthic foraminifera at the Winter Meiofauna School.
Great discussions, curious minds and hands-on learning with these tiny but powerful indicators of marine environments.

There will be a dedicated session on foraminifera and sedimentary processes, so don’t miss this opportunity if your research aligns with these topics #IAS @sedimentology @19imco
Excited to share our new paper led by @Anweghosh with @BhadPunyasloke @Vats_Chakresh, @Yash_y07, @NirupamaSaini and @ratul_aranya
We show how microniches shape phytoplankton functional diversity in the Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem.
Proud to contribute as a co-author!
