Acoustic basement: Its relevance to Karwar port development
(Allied, Chennai (India), 1996)
Detailed bathymetric, side-scan sonar and shallow seismic surveys followed by sediment sampling were conducted in Karwar Bay, Karnataka, India to study the surficial geology with special emphasis on basement configuration ...
Characteristics of humic and fulvic acids in Arabian Sea sediments
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)
Humic and fulvic acids isolated from some of the shelf, slope and offshore sediments of the Arabian Sea were studied. The molecular weight, functional groups, elemental composition and infrared spectra were examined. Humic ...
Phosphorite concretions in a sediment core from a bathymetric high off Goa, western continental margin of India
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)
A sediment core collected from a bathymetric high off Goa on the western continental margin of India, has yielded phosphorite concretions with an average Pd2O5 content of 32.75%, the P2O5 concentrations being highest ever ...
Petroleum hydrocarbons in intertidal ecosystem along the Bombay Coast
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)
Petroleum hydrocarbon content in intertidal sediment and water samples collected at Madh, Worli and Colaba were in the ranges of 5.1-7, 5.8-7.4, 2.9-10.3 mu g.g sup(-1), wet wt and N.D.-18.5, N.D.-5.8 mu g.l sup(-1) ...
Evidence for recent hydrothermal activity in the Central Indian Basin
(Pergamon, 1997)
This study documents the first actual prof of recent intraplate volcanic-hydrothermal activity in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). Twenty-six surface sediments and a spade core (37 cm long) from the CIB were examined for ...
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 ...
Physical properties of a long sediment core from the central Indian Basin
(Geological Survey and Mines Bureau, Dehiwala, Sri Lanka, 1997)
In a 7.5 m-long box core, collected at 9 degrees S and 77 degrees E from 5400 m water depth from the Central Indian Basin, geotechnical properties clearly reflect the Plio-Pleistocene boundary. It is marked by a drastic ...
Some geodynamic complexities related to the evolution of Bengal Fan and the neotectonic activity of the south Indian shield
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, 1997)
After three decades of the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) and in spite of extensive geophysical data collected during the last one decade, the geodynamics of the Bengal Fan and the Peninsular shield at the ...
Trace elements in near-shore sediments along the east and west coasts of India
(Science and Technology Agency of Japan (JISTEC, STA), Japan, 1999)
To understand the distribution of trace elements and their controlling factors in the coastal regions of India. Some representative sediment samples from the nearshore regions were selected from the east and west coasts ...
A note on the Pavonina flabelliformis D'Orbigny (benthic foraminifera) from the Arabian Sea
(Association of Korean Geoscience Societies, 1994)
The detailed study of the inner shelf surface sediments off Karwar (India) revealed the occurrence of a benthic foraminiferal species Pavonina flabelliformis. This is the first report of this species in the Arabian Sea. ...
