Mineralogy of polymetallic nodules and associated sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 1987)
Todorokite is the dominant mineral phase in the nodules of the northern Central Indian Ocean Basin. These nodules are characterised by a rough surface texture, are relatively rich in Mn, Cu and Ni, and are associated with ...
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 ...
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 ...
