Biogeochemical characteristics of the surface sediments along the western continental shelf of India
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
Surface sediments from the western continental shelf of India were analysed for total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), total hydrolysable carbohydrates (TCHO) and proteins (PRT) during the late summer monsoon ...
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 ...
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 ...
Influence of estuaries on shelf sediment texture
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1986)
Granulometric analyses of sediments on the western continental shelf of India demonstrate that the texture of inner continental shelf sediments (10 to 60 m water depth) appears to be determined by the size and number of ...
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 ...
Geochemistry of zinc in the sediments of the western continental shelf and slope of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)
The bulk geochemistry of zinc in the sediments of the western continental shelf and slope of India and also the partition geochemistry of the sediments of the shelf and slope regions between Ratnagiri and Mangalore have ...
Geochemistry of sediments of the eastern continental shelf of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)
The bulk and partition geochemistry of Al, Fe, Ti, Mn, Zn, and Cu have been investigated in sediments of the eastern continental shelf of India. The results show that (1) the bulk geochemistry varies from one shelf unit ...
Physical and elastic properties of marine sediments off Bombay, India
(Springer, 1986)
Keeping in view the paucity of information as to the nature of the marine sediments from the continental shelf adjoining the Indian subcontinent, a number of shallow seismic surveys were carried out, nearshore and offshore ...
Clay mineral distribution on tropical shelf: an example from the western shelf of India
(Indian Association of Sedimentology, 1989)
Seventy-five sediment samples collected from the Kerala continental shelf and slope during the 17th and 71st Cruises of RV Gaveshani were analysed by X-ray diffraction for clay mineral content. The distribution of total ...
Clay sediment accumulation rates on the monsoon-dominated western continental shelf and slope region of India
(Elsevier, 1988)
Clay accumulation rates shown in sediment cores from the nearshore to outer continental shelf and slope regions in water depths of 10-1246 m on the western continental margins of India were determined by the 210Pb dating ...
