Two layers of Australian impact ejecta in the Indian Ocean
(Meteoritical Society, 2003)
Only 2 Australian tektites have been found in the Indian Ocean, and both are associated with surficial sediments. Cores from both locations are collected, where the tektites have been reported. The microtektites in these ...
Rapid climatic shifts and its influence on ancient civilisations: Evidence from marine records
(Universities Press, Hyderabad, India, 1998)
The southwest (SW) monsoon system in the Arabian Sea exerts a strong influence upon the climatic conditions in South and Southeast Asia and the associated monsoon rainfall has a great impact on the socio-economic and ...
Bacterial contribution to mitigation of iron and manganese in mangrove sediments
(Elsevier, 2007)
The Mandovi and Chapora, (Goa, India) are two tropical estuaries lying in close geographic proximity on the west coast of India. Seasonal changes in down core variation of Fe, Mn and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in the ...
Indian deepsea environment experiment (index): Achievements and applications
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)
Significant results have been obtained from an extensive database generated on water column and benthic baseline conditions. Seafloor surveys have resulted in selection of suitable test and reference areas, and in ...
Marine geophysical investigations across the submarine canyon (Swatch-of-No-Ground), northern Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Science, 2008)
Multibeam swath bathymetry, gravity and magnetic investigations were conducted across the major delta front canyon known as Swatch-of-No-Ground in the northern Bay of Bengal. The study reveals that the canyon is a 300 m ...
Mineralogical and geochemical characters of surface sediments from the central Indian Basin
(Current Science Association, 1998)
Mineralogy and geochemistry of three types of surface sediments including their intermixtures, from 31 stations, in the ferromanganese nodule belt of the central Indian basin have been studied. Abundant illite, kaolinite ...
Use of sparker signal to classify seafloor sediment
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
During the cruise 190 of R.V. Gaveshani, the sparker signal was recorded in the analog form on audio cassettes. This signal has been digitized and a statistical computation, viz. the normalized cross-correlation function ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of foraminifera in sediments off the central west coast of India and use of their test morphologies for the reconstruction of paleomonsoonal precipitation
(Micropaleontology Press, 1999)
From the shallow region off the central west coast of India, 21 samples of surface sediments (ranging in depth from 22 to 52 m) along with two sediment cores of 4.80 m and 4.00 m (surface/subsurface) have been analyzed for ...
Contamination of organochlorine pesticides in sediments from the Arabian Sea along the west coast of India
(Pergamon, 1997)
The levels of contamination of various organochlorine pesticides in HCHs, DDTs aldrine dieldrin and endrin were determined in marine and estuarine sediments along the west coast of India. The concentration of various ...
