Article Synopsis
- The study examines lead (Pb) pollution in the Western Indian Ocean, using a 24-year coral record from Lakshadweep to understand historical and current contamination levels and their effects on the environment.
- Results show that lead concentrations in surface seawater nearly doubled from 1990 to 2013, mainly due to anthropogenic sources like aerosol pollution from land.
- The findings reveal significant differences in lead isotope distributions between the western and eastern Indian Ocean, indicating a substantial impact of human activity, which underscores the need for tailored environmental management in the region.
El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the dominant climate modes influencing global precipitation and temperature. ENSO has a large impact on the monsoonal precipitations over the Indian subcontinent and thereby influences hydrological conditions. Due to dearth of long-term instrumental records of the hydrological parameters on sufficient spatial resolution, it is difficult to assess the impact of ENSO on regional hydrology.
