Tracking the history of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in sediments from the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2012)
In order to trace the history of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages and provide new insights in to Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) dynamics in monsoon influenced tropical environments, sediment cores were collected from four different ...
Geochemical and isotopic signatures of surficial sediments from the western continental shelf of India: Inferring provenance, weathering, and the nature of organic matter
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2013)
Bottom sediments from thirteen transects sampled mainly at depth contours of 30, 100, and 200 m along the western continental margin of India, falling in two offshore sectors from Dwaraka to Goa and Cape Comorin to Goa, ...
Estimation of carbonate concentration and characterization of marine sediments by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a well established method for the characterization of mineralogical and geochemical properties of marine sediments. Understanding the biogeochemical changes in marine ...
Agromyces indicus sp. nov., isolated from mangroves sediment in Chorao Island, Goa, India
(Springer, 2012)
A Gram-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium strain NIO-1018 sup(T) isolated from a mangrove sediment sample of the Chorao Island, Goa, India, was subjected to a detailed polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain designated ...
Toxic metals enrichment in the surficial sediments of a eutrophic tropical estuary (Cochin Backwaters, Southwest coast of India)
(The Scientific World Journal, 2012)
Concentrations and distributions of trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in surficial sediments of the Cochin backwaters were studied during both monsoon and pre-monsoon periods. Spatial variations were ...
16S rRNA-based bacterial diversity in the organic-rich sediments underlying oxygen-deficient waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2011)
The eastern Arabian Sea has a unique and permanent oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) that extends along the western continental margin of India. The sediment below this region is rich in organic matter. This study describes the ...
Development of the negative gravity anomaly of the 85 degrees E Ridge, northeastern Indian Ocean – A process oriented modelling approach
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2011)
The 85 degrees E Ridge is associated with two contrasting gravity anomalies: negative anomaly over the north part (up to 5 degrees N latitude), where the ridge structure is buried under thick Bengal Fan sediments and ...
Rare earth elements in suspended and bottom sediments of the Mandovi estuary,central west coast of India: Influence of mining
(Elsevier, 2011)
Rare earth elements (REEs) in the suspended particulate matter (SPM) of the Mandovi estuary indicated that the mean total-REEs and light REE to heavy REE ratios are lower than that of the average suspended sediment in World ...
Mercury speciation in coastal sediments from the central east coast of India by modified BCR method.
(Elsevier, 2014)
This is the first study to describe distribution and speciation of Hg in coastal sediments from the central east coast of India. The concentrations of Hg in the studied sediments were found to be much lower than the Hg ...
Determination of rare earth, major and trace elements in authigenic fraction of Andaman Sea (Northeastern Indian Ocean) sediments by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry
(Elsevier, 2010)
Downcore variation of rare earth elements (REEs) in the authigenic Fe-Mn oxides of a sediment core (covering a record of last approx. 40 kyr) from the Andaman Sea, a part of the Indian Ocean shows distinctive positive Ce ...
