Variation in the Indian summer monsoon intensity during the Bolling-Allerod and Holocene
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
Variations in the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) intensity during the last 16.7 ka have been studied using organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>), delta <sup>15</sup>N of sedimentary organic matter, CaCO<sub>3</sub>, sediment ...
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ...
Mineralogy and Sr–Nd isotopes of SPM and sediment from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries: Influence of weathering and anthropogenic contribution
(Elsevier, 2015)
Clay minerals and Sr–Nd isotopes of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and bottom sediment were investigated along transect stations of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, western India to determine the provenance and role ...
Variations in Denitrification and Ventilation Within the Arabian Sea Oxygen Minimum Zone During the Holocene
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)
The continental slope of India is exposed to an intense perennial oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) supporting pelagic denitrification. Sediments that are presently in contact with the lower boundary of the denitrification zone ...
A comparative study of Pleistocene phosphorites from the continental slope off western India
(Blackwell, 2000)
Two types of phosphorite recovered from the continental slope off western India are described. The first type, phosphorite 1, comprises a hard, grey nodule composed of carbonate fluorapatite (CFA) and calcite as major ...
Benthic fluxes in a tropical estuary and their role in the ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2009)
In-situ measurements of benthic fluxes of oxygen and nutrients were made in the subtidal region of the Mandovi estuary during premonsoon and monsoon seasons to understand the role of sediment-water exchange processes in ...
Miocene phosphorites from the Murray Ridge, northwestern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2008)
Phosphorites from the Murray Ridge, NW Arabian Sea comprise nodules, bioclasts, and bone fragments. The nodules are made up of a homogeneous, light-colored phosphate nucleus consisting of Rivulariacean filamentous cyanobacteria ...
Lime muds and their genesis off-Northwestern India during the late Quaternary
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2012)
Two sediment types were found in five gravity cores collected from water depths between 56 m and 121 m along the northwestern continental margin of India. lime mud was abundant in the lower section while siliciclastic ...
Fluctuations in productivity and denitrification in the southeastern Arabian Sea during the Late Quaternary
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Sedimentological and stable isotopic characteristics of sediments have been studied in a core from the southeastern Arabian Sea containing records of the past 70 ka. Palaeoproductivity proxies such as organic carbon (C ...
Quaternary phosphorites off the southeast coast of India
(Elsevier, 2002)
Detailed petrological, mineralogical, geochemical and radiogenic (U, Sr, Nd) and stable isotope (C, O, S) studies have been carried out on the Quaternary phosphorites of the continental margin off Chennai, southeast coast ...
