Size distribution and carbonate content of the sediments of the western shelf of India
(National Institute of Sciences of India, 1968)
Sediment samples collected during the 25th cruise of I.N.S. KISTNA (Indian Programme of I.I.O.E.) were analysed for grain size and carbonate content. The shelf sediments show well defined zonation, except where river-borne ...
Mineralogy of the carbonate sediments - western continental shelf of India
(Elsevier, 1981)
An X-ray diffraction study of forty-six sediment samples and three oolitic limestone samples from the western continental shelf of India shows that aragonite is the dominant carbonate mineral (99% maximum), followed by ...
Distribution of longshore sediment transport along the Indian coast based on empirical model
(Surathkal: KREC, 1989)
An empirical sediment transport model has been developed based on longshore energy flux equation. Study indicates that annual gross sediment transport rate is high (1.5 x 10 super(6) cubic meters to 2.0 x 10 super(6) cubic ...
Ooid turbidites from the Central Western continental margin of India
(Springer, 1989)
Gravity displaced debris flows/turbidites have been observed in five box cores collected between water depths of 649 and 3,627 m from the Central Western continental margin of India. Studies on grain size, carbonate content, ...
Particle flux during the southwest monsoon on the western margin of India
(University of Hamburg, 1987)
Three sediment traps on a mooring were deployed on the outer shelf at a depth of 115 m from May to September 1985 on the western continental margin of India to study the particle flux during the southwest monsoon The ...
Distribution of phosphorus and phosphatisation along the western continental margin of India
(Geological Society of India, 1987)
Phosphate content in the bulk sediments range from 0.02 to 2.17% and on carbonate free basis it varies from 0.03 to 6.5%. The partition studies indicate that contribution from the acid resistant detrital minerals (HCl ...
Distribution, factor analysis and ecology of benthic foraminifera within inner shelf regime of Vengurla-Bhatkal sector, West Coast, India
(Geological Society of India, 1987)
One hundred and two taxa of benthic foraminifera are reported from the neritic environment (15-60 m) of Vengurla - Bhatkal area. Q-mode factor analysis reveals 6 important foraminiferal assemblages accounting for 92% of ...
Regional tectonic trends on the inner continental shelf off Konkan and central west coast of India
(Springer, 1986)
Satellite imagery and offshore magnetic data were analysed to correlate regional tectonic elements on the inner continental shelf off Konkan and the adjacent Deccan plateau. Three statistically important lineament trends ...
Marine magnetic profiles from the Direction Bank to the Kori Bank, Western Continental shelf of India
(Geological Society of India, 1986)
Total magnetic field intensity measurements along two parallel NW-SE tracks from the Direction Bank to the Kori Bank show corelatable magnetic anomalies. High frequency positive anomalies observed northwest of Kathiawar ...
Effect of waves in the redistribution of sediments along the Konkan coast
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1986)
From the wave refraction diagrams it is delineated that the Jaigad Head and Warori Bluff are the zones of wave energy convergence and the Narvan and Ambwah bays the areas of wave energy divergence. The presence of two ...
