An island chain lost in the Bay of Bengal
Srinivas, K.; Krishna, K.S.; Ismaiel, M.; Mishra, J.; Saha, D. (Current Science Association, 2017) -
Ancient ocean floor hidden beneath Bangladesh
Krishna, K.S.; Ismaiel, M.; Srinivas, K.; Saha, D. (Current Science Association, IAS, 2019)This is a short briefing related to research done related to the ocean floor hidden beneath Bangladesh . Earth scientists have been curious to know what kind of crust lies beneath this great thickness of sediments in ... -
Comment on a paper by Sibuet et al. (2016) entitled �Thinned continental crust intruded by volcanics beneath the northern Bay of Bengal�
Talwani, M.; Krishna, K.S.; Ismaiel, M.; Desa, M.A. (Elsevier, 2017)This comment applauds the survey carried out by Sibuet et al. (2016) but authors believe that their principal conclusion is in error. The Northern Bay of Bengal crust is the typical oceanic crust associated with volcanic ... -
Crustal architecture and moho topography beneath the Eastern Indian and bangladesh margins - New insights on rift evolution and the continent-ocean boundary
Ismaiel, M.; Krishna, K.S.; Srinivas, K.; Mishra, J.; Saha, D. (2019)The thick sedimentary cover (?18 km) along the Eastern Continental Margin of India (ECMI) and over the Bay of Bengal has hindered understanding of the mechanisms of rifting that operated on the eastern Indian and Bangladesh ... -
Crustal structure of the Gulf of Kachchh, northwest India
Rao, D.G.; Krishna, K.S.; Harinarayana, T.; Veeraswamy, K.; AbdulAzeez, K.K.; Ismaiel, M.; Chaubey, A.K.; Srinivas, K.; Sreejith, K.M. (Springer, 2021)Analyses of the marine geophysical data collected in four oceanographic cruises during 1974-2008 inside the Gulf of Kachchh, northwest India was done, and geology and crustal structure were interpreted for the first time. ... -
Internal structure of the 85°E ridge, Bay of Bengal: Evidence for multiphase volcanism
Ismaiel, M.; Krishna, K.S.; Srinivas, K.; Mishra, J.; Saha, D. (Elsevier, 2017)The 85°E Ridge, located in the Bay of Bengal of the northeastern Indian Ocean is an enigmatic geological feature as it possesses unusual geophysical signatures. The ridge's internal structure and mode of eruptions are ... -
Magnetic Mineralogical Approach for the Exploration of Gas Hydrates in the Bay of Bengal
Badesab, F.K.; Dewangan, P.; Gaikwad, V.; Kars, M.; Kocherla, M.; Krishna, K.S.; Sangode, S.J.; Deenadayalan, K.; Kumar, P.; Naikgaonkar, O.; Ismaiel, M.; Khan, A. (2019)We evaluate the environmental magnetic, geochemical, and sedimentological records from three sediment cores from potential methane-hydrate bearing sites to unravel linkages between sedimentation, shale tectonics, magnetite ... -
Oblique strike-slip motion off the Southeastern Continental Margin of India: Implication for the separation of Sri Lanka from India
Desa, M.; Ismaiel, M.; Suresh, Y.; Krishna, K.S. (Pergamon, 2018)The ocean floor in the Bay of Bengal has evolved after the breakup of India from Antarctica since the Early Cretaceous. Recent geophysical investigations including updated satellite derived gravity map postulated two phases ... -
Oceanic rocks beneath the landmass and continental rocks below the ocean - geological complexities in Indian waters
Krishna, K.S.; Ismaiel, M.; Srinivas, K. (Current Science Association, IAS, 2020)This brief write up reports two extreme geological cases found in waters around the Indian subcontinent. In the eastern side of the subcontinent, particularly beneath the Bengal onshore and offshore basins, proto-oceanic ... -
Post-breakup deformations in the Bay of Bengal: Response of crustal strata to the sediment load
Krishna, K.S.; Ismaiel, M.; Srinivas, K.; Saha, D. (Springer, 2020)Passive continental margins are tectonically inactive, but a few of them including the East India Passive Margin (EIPM) show evidences for post-breakup deformations. This unusual process prompted us to investigate the ... -
Sediment pathways and emergence of Himalayan source material in the Bay of Bengal
Krishna, K.S.; Ismaiel, M.; Srinivas, K.; Gopala Rao, D.; Mishra, J.; Saha, D. (Current Science Association, 2016)The sediment succession in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) records the signatures corresponding to India–Asia collision, regional climate change, and erosional proc- esses of both the Himalayan orogen and Indian subcontinent. The ... -
The tectonic origin of the Bay of Bengal and Bangladesh
Talwani, M.; Desa, M.; Ismaiel, M.; Krishna, K.S. (American Geophysical Union Publications, 2016)We are able to decipher the tectonic evolution of the Bay of Bengal, a puzzle which has not been satisfactorily solved in the past, and we are also able to shed new light on origin of the buried 85°E Ridge. We do so by ...
