Inconsistent change in surface hydrography of the eastern Arabian Sea during the last four glacial-interglacial intervals
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020)
The eastern Arabian Sea is influenced by both the advection of upwelled water from the western Arabian Sea and winter convective mixing. Therefore, sediments collected from the eastern Arabian Sea can help to understand ...
A late Pleistocene sedimentation in the Indus Fan, Arabian Sea, IODP Site U1457
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
The intensity of turbidite sedimentation over long timescales is driven by sea-level change, tectonically driven rock uplift and climatically modulated sediment delivery rates. This study focuses on understanding the effect ...
Lack of denitrification causes a difference in benthic foraminifera living in the oxygen deficient zones of the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Despite being located at the same latitudes, the Bay of Bengal oxygen deficient zone (ODZ) is markedly different than the Arabian Sea ODZ. The uptake of oxygen in the Bay of Bengal does not lead to denitrification as in ...
Assessing the effect of riverine discharge on planktic foraminifera: A case study from the marginal marine regions of the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)
Planktic foraminifera are amongst the most widely used paleoclimatic proxies. The application of foraminifera for paleoclimatic reconstruction requires knowledge of the ecological preference of species. Here, we report the ...
World Atlas of late Quaternary Foraminiferal Oxygen and Carbon Isotope Ratios
(Copernicus Publications, 2022)
We present a global atlas of downcore foraminiferal oxygen and carbon isotope ratios available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.936747 (Mulitza et al., 2021a). The database contains 2106 published and previously unpublished ...
Large-scale mass wasting on the Miocene continental margin of western India
(2019)
A giant mass-transport complex was recently discovered in the eastern Arabian Sea, exceeding in volume all but one other known complex on passive margins worldwide. The complex, named the Nataraja Slide, was drilled by ...
Variations in ?13C values of sedimentary organic matter since late Miocene time in the Indus Fan (IODP Site 1457) of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
A 1108.6 m long core was recovered at Site U1457 located on the Indus Fan in the Laxmi Basin of the eastern Arabian Sea during IODP Expedition 355. Shipboard examinations defined five lithologic units (I to V) of the lower ...
Cluster analysis of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups from the western margin of India reflects its depth preference
(Elsevier, 2017)
Q-mode and R-mode cluster analyses have been carried out on the census counts data of 68 genera and one �other genera� of benthic foraminifera from 32 stations off Mangalore-Cochin sector, west coast of India, to study the ...
Exceptionally high foraminiferal dissolution in the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2022)
The planktic foraminifera are an important component of the global carbon cycle, as they sequester the carbon, thus burying it in the sediments for ages.The burial of planktic foraminiferal shells, however, depends on the ...
Large freshwater-influx-induced salinity gradient and diagenetic changes in the northern Indian Ocean dominate the stable oxygen isotopic variation in Globigerinoides ruber
(Copernicus Publications, Gottingen, Germany, 2023)
The application of stable oxygen isotopic ratio of surface-dwelling planktic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber (white variety; ?18Oruber) to reconstruct past hydrological changes requires a precise understanding of the ...
