Impact of the Indian Summer Monsoon variability on the source area weathering in the Indo-Burman ranges during the last 21-kyr - A sediment record from the Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2019)
The paleomonsoonal variations and their impact on the weathering patterns in the source regions of sediments of the Andaman Sea were investigated from a 21-kyr sedimentary record using environmental magnetic, clay mineralogical ...
South Asian summer monsoon variability during the last ~54 kyrs inferred from surface water salinity and river run off proxies
(Elsevier, 2016)
The past variability of the South Asian Monsoon is mostly known from records of wind strength over the Arabian Sea while high-resolution paleorecords from regions of strong monsoon precipitation are still lacking. Here, ...
Manganese nodule morphology as indicators for oceanic processes in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
In order to understand the role of geological features in the depositional environment and the prevailing oceanic processes on the formation and characteristics of manganese nodules, a detailed morphological study of the ...
Tracking the history of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in sediments from the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2012)
In order to trace the history of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages and provide new insights in to Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) dynamics in monsoon influenced tropical environments, sediment cores were collected from four different ...
Geochemical and isotopic signatures of surficial sediments from the western continental shelf of India: Inferring provenance, weathering, and the nature of organic matter
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2013)
Bottom sediments from thirteen transects sampled mainly at depth contours of 30, 100, and 200 m along the western continental margin of India, falling in two offshore sectors from Dwaraka to Goa and Cape Comorin to Goa, ...
Composition of macrobenthos from the central Indian Ocean Basin
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2009)
The deep sea is well known for its high faunal diversity. But the current interest in its abundant polymetallic nodules, poses a threat to the little known benthic organisms surviving in this unique environment. The present ...
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ...
Source and dispersal of suspended sediment in the macro-tidal Gulf of Kachchh
(Elsevier, 2007)
The macro-tidal Gulf of Kachchh, covering nearly 7000 km sup(2), is located about 150 km south of the Indus River mouth. In spite of semi-arid climate and lack of major rivers flowing into it, the Gulf is highly turbid ...
Perspectives on the terrestrial organic matter transport and burial along the land-deep sea continuum: Caveats in our understanding of biogeochemical processes and future needs
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
The natural carbon cycle is immensely intricate to fully understand its sources, fluxes and the processes that are responsible for their cycling in different reservoirs and their balances on a global scale. Anthropogenic ...
Scanning Electron Microscopic Studies of Fossil Pteropods from the Andaman Sea: Inferences on Carbonate Dissolution
(Indian National Science Academy, 2020)
Among the different microfossils group, pteropods are least studied zooplanktons having delicate aragonitic shells which are very susceptible to dissolution. The present study has been carried out to understand the effect ...
