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 ...
Grain size analysis of sediments from the northern Andaman Sea: Comparison of laser diffraction and sieve-pipette techniques
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2006)
A comparison has been made of sand, silt, and clay percentage of 118 samples from the Ayeyarwady continental shelf, northern Andaman Sea, measured by the sieve-laser diffraction technique and by classical sieve-pipette ...
Provenance and distribution of clay minerals in the sediments of the western continental shelf and slope of India
(Pergamon, 1995)
The distribution of clay minerals from 156 surficial sediments of the western continental margin of India, ranging from 17 to 2000 m water depth, indicate that there are three principal sources of sediments. The illite and ...
Shallow stratigraphy and gas-charged sediments in the inner shelf off Redi, west coast of India
(Cent. for Earth Sci. Stud., Cochin (India), 1997)
Bathymetric, side scan sonar and seismic studies were conducted in shallow waters of 11-18 m off Redi along central west coast of India to understand the stratigraphy and structural features. Bathymetric contours suggest ...
Gas-charged sediments on the inner continental shelf off western India
(Elsevier, 1993)
High resolution seismic reflection profiles on the inner continental shelf (less than 60 m water depth) off India from 10 degrees N to 22 degrees N show 5-35 m of weakly stratified acoustically transparent clays. At water ...
Biogeochemistry of the surficial sediments of the western and eastern continental shelves of India
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2008)
Even though continental margins cover only about 7-9 % of the world ocean area, they are important sites for organic carbon accumulation and hence play a major role in biogeochemical carbon cycling. Surface sediments from ...
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 ...
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 ...
