The abrupt onset of the modern South Asian monsoon winds
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2016)
The South Asian Monson (SAM) is one of the most intense climatic elements yet its initiation and variations are not well established. Dating the deposits of SAM wind-driven currents in IODP cores from the Maldives yields ...
Manganese nodules in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Mauritius
(Taylor and Francis, 1991)
The distribution of manganese nodules in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the island nation Mauritius was delineated during cruise SK-35 of ORV Sagar Kanya in 1987. The areas surveyed included Saya de Malha and Nazareth ...
Astrobiological implications of dim light phototrophy in deep-sea red clays
(Elsevier, 2017)
Red clays of Central Indian Basin (CIB) under influence of trace of Rodriguez Triple Junction exhibited chemoautotrophy, low temperature hydrothermal alterations and photoautotrophic potential. Seamount flank TVBC-08, ...
Monitoring the sedimentary carbon in an artificially disturbed deep-sea sedimentary environment
(Springer, 2012)
An area of 0.6 km sup(2) in the manganese nodule field of the Central Indian Basin was physically disturbed and sediments discharged in the near bottom waters to simulate seabed mining and study its impact on benthic ...
Selection of test and reference areas for the Indian Deepsea Environment Experiment (INDEX)
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
The Indian Deepsea Environment Experiment (INDEX) was conducted in the Central Indian Ocean Basin, to assess the effects of a simulated disturbance on the marine ecosystem and to collect data to predict the effects of ...
Bacterial standing stock, meiofauna and sediment-nutrient characteristics: Indicators of benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Pergamon, 2001)
As a part of the environmental impact assessment studies for polymetallic nodule mining, the effect of simulated "benthic disturbance" caused by a benthic hydraulic disturber was studied in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). ...
The composition and the source of hydrocarbons in sediments taken from the tectonically active Andaman Backarc Basin, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2001)
Concentrations of total hydrocarbons in sediments of the tectonically active part of the Andaman Basin ranged from 130-720 (with an average of 349) mg/kg in the most active Spreading zone (the Rift Valley) to 43-180 (with ...
Monsoon induced cobalt enrichment in Porites (coral) from the Arabian Sea
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)
Cobalt concentrations in growth bands of a reef building coral (Porites sp.) collected from Kalpeni Atoll of the Lakshadweep group of islands (Arabian Sea), rvealed that cobalt concentrations and Co/Ca ratios exhibit similar ...
Pulleniatina Minimum Events in the Andaman Sea (NE Indian Ocean): Implications for winter monsoon and thermocline changes
(Elsevier, 2011)
The late Quaternary record of Pulleniatina obliquiloculata was investigated from two well dated sediment cores from the Andaman Sea (NE Indian Ocean) to examine its paleoceanographic significance and the presence of the ...
Processes controlling forms of phosphorus in surficial sediments from the eastern Arabian Sea impinged by varying bottom water oxygenation conditions
(Elsevier, 2005)
The surficial sediments from the upper continental slope of the eastern Arabian Sea, impinged by the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ, 150-1200 m water depth), show varying concentrations of the biogenic element phosphorus (P, ...
