DDT residues in sediments from the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 1988)
DDT is one of the organochlorine compounds characterised by its stability for long periods in the environment leading to marked changes in the aquatic ecosystem. This work aims to assess the prevailing levels of DDT and ...
Sediment boron and its relation to sediment properties in a tropical estuary
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1988)
Boron in the sediments of Mandovi estuary varied from 8.0 to 258.0 ppm with an average of 118 ppm. It showed an inverse relation to the texture of sediments and was found to be concentrated in silt and clay fraction with ...
Clay sediment accumulation rates on the monsoon-dominated western continental shelf and slope region of India
(Elsevier, 1988)
Clay accumulation rates shown in sediment cores from the nearshore to outer continental shelf and slope regions in water depths of 10-1246 m on the western continental margins of India were determined by the 210Pb dating ...
Heavy metals in Mindhola river estuary, India
(Elsevier, 1988)
The heavy metal concentrations are studied along the Mindhola river estuary. Surface and bottom water samples were collected using Niskin Sampler. The sediment samples were collected using a Van Veen grab. The heavy metal ...
Response of Barrier beaches along the southwest coast of India to monsoonal forcing
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1987)
The response of a small stretch of barrier beach along the southern part of the west coast of India to the southwest wind and wave climates showed wide variations when examined through empirical Eigen function analysis. ...
Geophysical and geological surveys along the northeastern flank of Mount error, Northwestern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 1987)
Bathymetry, multichannel continuous seismic reflection, magnetic and gravity surveys and sampling were carried out over Mount Error in the northwestern Indian Ocean and along the northeastern flank of the seamount, to study ...
Some geological processes in the Macro-tidal regime of Gulf of Kachchh, Northwest coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Echosounding and subbottom profiling, supplemented by side scan sonar profiling have been carried out followed by sediment sampling in the inner gulf of Kachchh The results show the presence of sandwaves with a height of ...
Sediment-size distributions of the beach and nearshore environs along the central west coast of India: An analysis using EOF
(American Geophysical Union, 1986)
EOF analysis of the data on grain-size distributions of sediments in the phi -size class from the beach foreshore, backshore, dune, and nearshore environments of Colva and Calangute revealed that the first three phi ...
Topography and sedimentary characteristics of the sandy beach of Kavaratti (Lakshadweep) - a premonsoonal study
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
During the southwest monsoon beach sediments on the western coast of Kavaratti are transported from the southern tip of the island to its northern tip. After the monsoon the littoral current reverses and the redistribution ...
Living benthonic foraminifera in a tidal environment: Gulf of Khambhat (India)
(Elsevier, 1984)
Living benthonic foraminifera from the top one centimeter layer from 23 surface sediment samples have been studied. Samples were collected from the tidally affected inner shelf off the Daman Bombay sector of the Arabian ...
