Monitoring effects of simulated disturbance at INDEX site: Current status and future activities
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2003)
During the Indian Deep-Sea Environment Experiment (INDEX), greater than 6000 cu.m of sediment was resuspended 5 m above seafloor. Data collected from deep-towed photography, sediment traps, sediment coring and CTD operations ...
Ferromanganese nodules and their associated sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Rare earth element geochemistry
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)
The rare earth element (REE) distribution in nine deep-sea ferromanganese nodules and their associated siliceous sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) have been studied to elucidate the REE relationship among ...
Acoustic seafloor sediment classification using self-organizing feature maps
(IEEE, 2001)
A self-organizing feature map (SOFM), a kind of artificial neural network (ANN) architecture, is used in this work for continental shelf seafloor sediment classification. Echo data are acquired using an echosounding system ...
Geomorphology and geology of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
Marine geological studies in the Bay of Bengal were initiated by the Andhra University in early 1950's and have subsequently become widespread during the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE - 1962-65). Geomorphological ...
Biodiversity of benthic polychaetes from the coastal waters of Paradip, Bay of Bengal
(Annon., 2007)
Polychaete communities of the subtidal waters off Paradip, Orissa, India (Lat, 20 degrees 05 minutes - 20 degrees 20 minutes N and Long. 86 degrees 35 minutes - 86 degrees 60 minutes E) in the Bay of Bengal were studied ...
Suspended sediment fluxes in a tropical estuary, west coast of India
(NCAOR, Goa, 2005)
Annual transport processes of suspended sediments in Beypore estuary - a tropical estuary along the south west coast of India - were investigated based on time series measurements within the system. It's observed that the ...
Late Quaternary changes in depositional processes along the western margin of the Indus Fan
(Springer, 2008)
Detailed sedimentological, geochemical and isotopic analyses were carried out on sediment samples from ODP Site 720A on the Indus Fan, Arabian Sea. High values of calcium carbonate associated with low values of Al and Ti ...
Monitoring the impact of simulated deep-sea mining in Central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Monitoring of deep-sea disturbances, natural or man-made, has gained significance due to the associated sediment transport and for the ensuing alterations in environmental conditions. During the Indian Deep-sea Environment ...
Impact microcrater morphology on Australian microtektites
(Meteoritical Society, 2003)
Scanning electron microscopy of 137 Australian microtekties and fragments from 4 sediments cores in the Central Indian Ocean reveals more than 2000 impact-generated features in the size range of 0.3 to 600 mu m. Three ...
Distribution pattern and morphochemical relationships of manganese nodules from the Central Indian Basin
(Springer, 2001)
In the Central Indian Basin manganese nodule abundance was variable in all sediment types. Mean abundance varied from 1.5 in calcareous ooze to 10.2 kg/m sup(2) in terrigenous-siliceous ooze sediments. Nodule grade and ...
