Mineral resources of the Indian Ocean and related scientific research
(1985)
The Indian Ocean (area: 74.917 x 106 km2, water volume: 291.945 x 106 km3, average depth: 3897 m) is the third largest of the world oceans. The lands bordering the ocean contain almost 40 percent of the world's population ...
Geochemical evidence of terrigenous influence in deep-sea sediments upto 8°S in the Central Indian basin
(Elsevier, 1989)
Thirty-two representative deep-sea sediment samples have been studied from three manganese nodule-bearing environments in the Central Indian Basin: diatomaceous-radiolarian ooze-clay, pelagic brown clay and calcareous ooze. ...
Nature, distribution and origin of clay minerals in grain size fractions of sediments from manganese nodule field, Central Indian Ocean Basin
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)
DT, IR and X-ray diffraction analyses have been carried out on 3 grain size fractions (1, 1-2 and 2-4 mu m) of sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin. Results indicate that there are 2 smectite minerals (montmorillonite ...
Influence of seamount topography on the local facies variation in ferromanganese deposits in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 1988)
The morphology and chemistry of ferromanganese nodules and encrustations from a seamount in the Central Indian Ocean Basin show local variations. Nodules from the summit of the seamount have sporadic distribution, are less ...
Partitioning of metals in different binding phases of tropical estuarine sediments: importance of metal chemistry
(Springer, 2016)
Distribution of metals in different binding phases of estuarine sediments provides chemically significant description of metal–sediment interactions. This study describes the influences of ligand field stabilization energy ...
Sup(10)Be variation in surficial sediments of the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2007)
Distribution of 10Be in systematically collected (degree + degree interval at 10 to 16 degrees S; 73.5 to 76.5 degrees E) surficial siliceous ooze, siliceous clay and pelagic clay sediments (top 2 cm) from the abyssal ...
Late Quaternary Sedimentation and Slope Failure Events on the Costa Rican Margin
(Springer, Cham, 2020)
The Costa Rican margin is an erosional convergent margin formed by subduction of the Cocos Plate under the Caribbean Plate along the Middle America Trench. The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 334 was ...
Offshore sediments record the history of onshore iron ore mining in Goa State, India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Environmental magnetic and geochemical analyses combined with 210Pb dating were carried out on a sediment core off Goa from Arabian Sea to reconstruct the sedimentation history of last three and a half centuries and to ...
Alkaline phosphatase: An appraisal of its critical role in c-limited deep-sea sediments of central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017)
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a hydrolase that releases phosphate, a crucial nutrient supporting formation of many macromolecules. The oligotrophic sediments of Central Indian Basin (CIB) were examined for the extent of ...
