Topographic Changes of the Beach at Valiathura, Kerala
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Studies on the topography of the beach and the inshore reaches at Valiathura, near Trivandrum reveal that the beach is in a stable equilibrium and presents well defined cyclicity in accretion and erosion every year. During ...
Distribution of Al, Mn, Ni, Co & Cu in the Non-Lithogenous fractions of Sediments of the Northern Half of the Western Continental Shelf of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Higher amounts of elements are associated with the nonlithogenous fractions of the fine grained terrigenous sediments of the innershelf region with low carbonate content than with the corresponding fractions of the coarse ...
Distribution of Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu and Zn in Non-Lithogenous Fractions of Sediments of Gulf of Kutch
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Contributions made by non-lithogenous fractions of sediments constitute a significant portion of the concentrations of the elements associated with the total sediment samples. The minor differences found in their distribution ...
Foraminiferal Constituent in Marine Sediments - A Parameter in some Coastal Engineering Problems
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Foraminifera, among other microorganisms, form a major constituent of marine sediments and their composition is directly related to the nature of the substrate in which they are entombed. Past and the present data indicate ...
Gypsum crystals in the inner shelf sediments off Maharashtra, India
(Geological Society of India, 1979)
Gypsum crystals have been found in the inner shelf silty clay/clayey silt off the Maharashtra Coast between Vengurla and Bombay. Generally these occur as euhedral single or twinned crystals of selenite. Very often shells ...
Sediments of the western continental shelf of India - Environmental significance
(Geological Society of India, 1979)
The degree of fragmentation and colour of the skeletal fragments, colouration in benthic foraminifers have been studied in surficial sediment samples collected from forty stations from the continental shelf region between ...
New evidence for enhanced preservation of organic carbon in contact with oxygen minimum zone on the western continental slope of India
(Elsevier, 1993)
In order to evaluate the reason for organic enrichment on the western continental slope of India, we provide Rock-Eval pyrolysis data of 25 surficial sediment samples from this area. Results show that the organic matter ...
Distribution of manganese nodules, rocks and sediments in the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Factors influencing performance of mining system
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
Manganese nodule abundances in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) as noted from seabed photographs (nil to 18.4 kg/m sup(2)) and grabs (nil to 21.5 kg/m sup(2)) are variable. The relative abundance varies from zero to ...
Depth anomalies in the Arabian Basin, NW Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2008)
Unreported depth anomalies in the Arabian Basin, northwest Indian Ocean is presented previously, to provide constraints on the evolution of the oceanic lithosphere of that basin. The depth anomaly reported in this study ...
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 ...
