Active faulting on the Ninetyeast Ridge and its relation to deformation of the Indo-Australian plate
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)The ~4500 km long Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) in the northeastern Indian Ocean crosses a broad zone of deformation where the Indo-Australian plate is fracturing into three smaller plates (India, Capricorn, Australia) separated ... -
Evidences for incipient hydrothermal event(s) in the Central Indian Basin: A review
(The Geological Society of China, 2005)The Central Indian Basin (CIB, 10 degrees-19 degrees S) encompasses morphotectonic features such as seamounts, abyssal hills, faults, fracture zones and lineations and basic to silicic volcanics that were derived from ... -
Fault system and thermal regime in the vicinity of site NGHP-01-10, Krishna-Godavari basin, Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2011)Drilling/coring activities onboard JOIDES Resolution for hydrate resource estimation have confirmed gas hydrate in the continental slope of Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, Bay of Bengal and the expedition recovered fracture ... -
Geophysical investigations off Vijaydurg bay, Maharashtra, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)Bathymetry of the bay indicates a smooth gradient in the sandy zone while steep gradient is marked off cliffs and headlands. In general, the results of the wave action have been seen by the presence of undulation to the ... -
Influence of regional and local topography on the distribution of polymetallic nodules in Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Springer, 1988)Detailed bathymetric surveys from part of the Central Indian Ocean revealed several bathymetric features such as hills, slopes, valleys, and plains. Areas with a local relief of a few to hundreds of meters generally have ... -
Magnetic Surveys of the Continental Shelf off Visakhapatnam
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)Continuous magnetic surveys over the continental shelf off Visakhapatnam reveal total magnetic field anomalies of high amplitude and short period over the inner shelf and of comparatively low amplitude with long period ... -
Marine magnetic anomalies over the Direction bank, off Bombay western continental shelf of India
(Association of Exploration Geophysicists, 1988)Total magnetic intensity data were collected over the Direction Bank, off Bombay on the western continental shelf of India and the isomagnetic anomaly map prepared at a contour interval of 25nT show NNW-SSE trend resemble ... -
Marine magnetic profiles from the Direction Bank to the Kori Bank, Western Continental shelf of India
(Geological Society of India, 1986)Total magnetic field intensity measurements along two parallel NW-SE tracks from the Direction Bank to the Kori Bank show corelatable magnetic anomalies. High frequency positive anomalies observed northwest of Kathiawar ... -
Offshore extension of the structural element of Udipi, confirmation from marine magneties
(Geological Society of India, 1987)The isomagnetic anomaly map (1:3,00,000) reflects conspicuous E-W, NW-SE, WNW-ESE, NE-SW and N-S trends which are similar to that of the onshore Dharwar trend. The map also shows short wavelength, high amplitude anomalies ... -
Some new observations on the intra-plate deformation in the Central Indian Basin (CIB)
(Elsevier, 1993)Single channel airgun seismic reflection data from equatorial region of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) revealed some new information on the structure and stratigraphy of the deformed blocks in this area. The data from five ... -
Spreading rate dependent seafloor deformation in response to India-Eurasia collision: results of a hydrosweep survey in the Central Indian Ocean basin
(Elsevier, 1997)The nature of magnetic anomalies and associated ridge-parallel structural lineaments and topographic complexities from an area bounded by latitudes 9 degrees 45'S and 14 degrees 45'S in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) ... -
Studying the Indian Ocean Ridge System: Agenda for the new century
(Geological Society of India, 1999)Studies on the Indian Ocean Ridge System, though sporadic, was aimed to map the complete IORS petrologically and tectonically. Three areas are placed for immediate investigation; one in the slow spreading Carlsberg Ridge ...
