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, ...
New evidence for enhanced preservation of organic carbon in contact with oxygen minimum zone on the western continental slope of India
(Elsevier, 1993)
In order to evaluate the reason for organic enrichment on the western continental slope of India, we provide Rock-Eval pyrolysis data of 25 surficial sediment samples from this area. Results show that the organic matter ...
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 ...
Microbial biomass and organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)
In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian ...
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 ...
Benthic fauna of southwest and southeast coasts of India
(Asian Fisheries Society, Indian Branch, Mangalore (India), 1999)
Benthos, sediments characteristics and organic matter content were studied along southwest and southeast coasts of India. Number of groups/species varied with the stations and also with the depths. Population density was ...
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 ...
