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 ...
Effects of composition of labile organic matter on biogenic production of methane in the coastal sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2011)
Coastal regions are potential zones for production of methane which could be governed by ecological/environmental differences or even sediment properties of a niche. In order to test the hypothesis that methanogenesis in ...
Comment on "Lack of enhanced preservation of organic matter in sediments under the oxygen minimum on the Oman Margin" by T.F. Pedersen, G.B. Shimmield, and N.B. Price
(Pergamon, 1993)
A comment on the study on the lack of enhanced preservation of organic matter in sediments under the oxygen minimum on the Oman Margin is given. As such a negative correspondence between productivity and organic enrichment ...
Biogeochemical characteristics of sedimenting particles in Dona Paula Bay, India
(Elsevier, 2003)
Sedimenting particles were collected at weekly intervals from October to May during 1995-1997 at a station in the coastal waters of Dona Paula Bay on the west coast of India. Sedimenting particles were analysed for ...
Distribution and sources of organic matter in surface sediments of the eastern continental margin of India
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
The sources and distribution of organic matter (OM) in surface sediments of the eastern continental margin of India, including the region influenced by river discharge, were investigated using content, molar C:N ratios and ...
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, ...
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 ...
Extractable organics in surface sediments from Thana creek and Bombay harbour
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
Considerable variations in hydrocarbon and fatty acid levels in surface sediments from Thana creek and Bombay harbour were observed Sediments from the westernside nearshore locations yielded higher values The residues were ...
Benthos of the Narmada estuary
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Distribution of benthos in relation to environmental characteristics has been studied along a stretch of 55 km in the Narmada Estuary. Higher abundance of macro and meio fauna were noticed along the upper and lower reaches ...
Sediments of a Retting Yard
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Sediments of a coconut husk retting yard and a reference station in Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India were studied for 1 yr. Effects of monsoon were found significant Organic carbon and organic matter showed enrichment in ...
