Baseline studies and evaluation of effects of surface discharge of deep-sea mining - INDEX area
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)Hydrochemical properties of the water column were measured at the Indian Experiment (INDEX) site in the Central Indian Ocean Basin, as a part of baseline studies for the environmental impact assessment of benthic disturbance. ... -
Benthic disturbance and impact experiments in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)As a part of the Environmental Impact Assessment studies for nodule mining, a long-term program has been initiated in the Central Indian Basin. Multidisciplinary studies on geological, biological, physical and chemical ... -
Chemical characteristics of Central Indian Basin waters during the southern summer
(Pergamon, 2001)Chemical properties of the water column were examined at the Indian Deep-sea Environment Experiment (INDEX) site in the Central Indian Basin (CIB), as a part of baseline studies prior to the benthic disturbance experiment ... -
Distribution of deep-sea benthos in the proposed mining area of Central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)During the first stage of the project work on the Indian Deep-Sea Environment Experiment (INDEX), the abundance and distribution of deep-sea benthos were surveyed in the Central Indian Basin for the collection of baseline ... -
Geotechnical properties of surface sediments in the INDEX area
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)As a part of the environmental impact assessment studies, geotechnical properties of sediments were determined in the Central Indian Basin. The undrained shear strength and index properties of the siliceous sediments were ... -
Indian Deep-sea Environment Experiment (INDEX): An appraisal
(Pergamon, 2001)Indian Deep-sea Environment Experiment (INDEX) is a multi-disciplinary study to establish baseline conditions and evaluate the possible impact of deep-seabed mining in Central Indian Basin. A disturbance was simulated to ... -
Initial results of India's environmental impact assessment of nodule mining
(Metal Mining Agency of Japan, 1997)The Indian Deepsea Experiment (INDEX) was intiated in 1995, with the objective of predicting the environmental impact of nodule mining, in the Central Indian Basin. More than 20 scientists and technical staff of the National ... -
Microbial biomass and organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian ... -
Seafloor and sediment characteristics in INDEX AREA
(Metal Mining Agency of Japan, 1997)Seafloor surveys and sediment sampling during the INDEX (Indian Deep-Sea Environmental Experiment) studies in the Central Indian Basin, resulted in identification of Test and Reference Areas, as well of establishment of ... -
Studies on impact of release of liquid industrial waste from soda ash industry in the nearshore water of north Gujarat
(Society of Biosciences, Muzaffarnagar, India, 1993)The nearshore waters of Mithapur, Porbandar and Sutrapada received 18-100 mid (million litres per day) of wastewater from soda ash manufacturing industries either through point discharges (Mithapur, Porbandar) or through ... -
Surface meteorological conditions at benthic disturbance experiment site - INDEX area during austral winter 1997
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)Benthic Disturbance Experiment surveys in the Central Indian Ocean Basin yielded baseline data on surface meteorological conditions during June and August, 1997 together with sea surface temperature (SST) and could data ... -
Thermohaline circulation in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIB) during austral summer and winter periods of 1997
(Pergamon, 2001)As a part of Indian Deep Sea Environment Experiment (INDEX) aimed at assessing the environmental impact of manganese nodule mining in the Central Indian Basin (CIB), a study on baseline physical conditions of water column ...
