Studies on beach changes at Visakhapatnam
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Various factors controlling the coastal processes at 7.5 km long Visakhapatnam Beach were investigated in detail. Studies reveal that the depositional and erosional phases differ from place to place along this coast. Major ...
Benthos of the Narmada estuary
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Distribution of benthos in relation to environmental characteristics has been studied along a stretch of 55 km in the Narmada Estuary. Higher abundance of macro and meio fauna were noticed along the upper and lower reaches ...
Heavy Minerals in the Sediments on the Outer Continental Shelf between Vengurla and Mangalore on the West Coast of India
(Geological Society of India, 1981)
Fifty-eight sediment samples from the outer continental shelf between Vengurla and Mangalore were analysed for heavy minerals consist of principally opaques, hornblende, epidote, garnet, sillimanite, hypersthene and zircon, ...
Arsenic in water, plankton and sediments off Goa coast and adjacent regions
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Arsenic content was estimated in water, plankton and sediments in the region between 14 degrees 40'N and 15 degrees 50'N surrounding Goa coast. Of the total arsenic content in water (1.65 - 4.78 mu g/litre; av. 3.09 mu ...
Sediments of a Retting Yard
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Sediments of a coconut husk retting yard and a reference station in Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India were studied for 1 yr. Effects of monsoon were found significant Organic carbon and organic matter showed enrichment in ...
Acoustic Masking in Sediments due to Gases on the Western Continental Shelf of India
(Elsevier, 1981)
Surveys carried out on the western continental shelf of India indicate that the inner and middle shelf to a depth of 50-60 m is covered by acoustically transparent clays. On the shelf off Bombay, the clays are thin near ...
Surficial Sediments of the Continental Shelf off Karnataka
(Geological Society of India, 1981)
The continental shelf in this area is about 80 km wide and the edge of the shelf varies between 90 and 120 m water depth. Geologically modern fine-grained clastic sediments occur between the water depth. Geologically modern ...
Meiofauna of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Total meiofauna of the Andaman Sea, in the depth range 30-2150m was between 68 and 438/10cm2 (X-bar = 247.8). The biomass was within the range 3.57 and 32.8mg/10cm 2 (X-bar = 14.46). faunal components were maximum in sandy ...
Studies on the Sediments of Vembanad Lake, Kerala State. 4. Distribution of Trace Elements
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Distribution patterns of FE, Mn, Ti, Ni, Co and Cu in sediments of Vembanad Lake and adjoining river systems have revealed that (1) elemental concentrations follow closely the texture of the sediments, (2) river sands ...
Distribution of Strontium in Sediments of the Minicoy Atoll, Lakshadweep
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Sr content in 67 sediment samples collected from the Minicoy reef and lagoon varies from 3960 to 7000 ppm (av. 5630 ppm). The concentration increases from the reef (c 4,000 ppm) in the north and west to the centre of the ...
