Seasonality and interannual variability of particle-fluxes to the deep Arabian Sea
(Pergamon, 1993)
Long-term sediment trap studies have been carried out since 1986 at three locations in the western, central and eastern Arabian Sea. Total and bulk component fluxes measured for 3 years at the central station and for 4 ...
Mineralogy of the carbonate sediments - western continental shelf of India
(Elsevier, 1981)
An X-ray diffraction study of forty-six sediment samples and three oolitic limestone samples from the western continental shelf of India shows that aragonite is the dominant carbonate mineral (99% maximum), followed by ...
Lithogenic fluxes to the deep Arabian Sea measurEd. by sediment traps
(Pergamon, 1991)
Particle fluxes measured continuously for one year at three locations in the Arabian Sea using time-series sediment traps show that lithogenic sedimentation processes are strongly coupled to biological processes. The ...
Increased particle flux to the deep ocean related to monsoons
(Nature Publishing Group, 1989)
Monsoons cause seasonal reversals in the surface circulation of the northern Indian Ocean. In the Arabian Sea this results in the upwelling of nutrient-rich water along the coasts, making it one of the highly productive ...
History and background of the project
(New Delhi: Department of Ocean Development, 1988)
The history of oceanography, the discovery of manganese nodules and the background of the developments in nodule research and mining is given The first nodules were collected in 1981 on board the research vessel R V Gaveshani ...
Absence of terraces on a submerged carbonate bank and its implications to Holocene sea level transgression on the western continental margin of India
(Goa: National Institute of Oceanography, 1988)
On the origin of the cohesive and non-cohesive sediment boundary on the western shelf of India
(Goa: National Inst of Oceanography, 1987)
Influence of estuaries on shelf sediment texture
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1986)
Granulometric analyses of sediments on the western continental shelf of India demonstrate that the texture of inner continental shelf sediments (10 to 60 m water depth) appears to be determined by the size and number of ...
Holocene phosphorites of the western continental margin of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)
Seventeen samples collected during different cruises of RV Gaveshani, were analysed by X-Ray diffractometer for apatite. These samples consists of algal and oolitic limestones and were recovered from depths ranging from ...
The Indus paradox
(London : New Science Publications, 1984)
