Distribution of manganese nodules, rocks and sediments in the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Factors influencing performance of mining system
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
Manganese nodule abundances in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) as noted from seabed photographs (nil to 18.4 kg/m sup(2)) and grabs (nil to 21.5 kg/m sup(2)) are variable. The relative abundance varies from zero to ...
Rapid climatic shifts and its influence on ancient civilisations: Evidence from marine records
(Universities Press, Hyderabad, India, 1998)
The southwest (SW) monsoon system in the Arabian Sea exerts a strong influence upon the climatic conditions in South and Southeast Asia and the associated monsoon rainfall has a great impact on the socio-economic and ...
Indian deepsea environment experiment (index): Achievements and applications
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)
Significant results have been obtained from an extensive database generated on water column and benthic baseline conditions. Seafloor surveys have resulted in selection of suitable test and reference areas, and in ...
Mineralogical and geochemical characters of surface sediments from the central Indian Basin
(Current Science Association, 1998)
Mineralogy and geochemistry of three types of surface sediments including their intermixtures, from 31 stations, in the ferromanganese nodule belt of the central Indian basin have been studied. Abundant illite, kaolinite ...
Use of sparker signal to classify seafloor sediment
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
During the cruise 190 of R.V. Gaveshani, the sparker signal was recorded in the analog form on audio cassettes. This signal has been digitized and a statistical computation, viz. the normalized cross-correlation function ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of foraminifera in sediments off the central west coast of India and use of their test morphologies for the reconstruction of paleomonsoonal precipitation
(Micropaleontology Press, 1999)
From the shallow region off the central west coast of India, 21 samples of surface sediments (ranging in depth from 22 to 52 m) along with two sediment cores of 4.80 m and 4.00 m (surface/subsurface) have been analyzed for ...
Contamination of organochlorine pesticides in sediments from the Arabian Sea along the west coast of India
(Pergamon, 1997)
The levels of contamination of various organochlorine pesticides in HCHs, DDTs aldrine dieldrin and endrin were determined in marine and estuarine sediments along the west coast of India. The concentration of various ...
Periodic deformation of oceanic crust in the central Indian Ocean
(AGU, 1998)
New seismic reflection profiles of ~~ 5370 km, running through the Ocean Drilling Program Leg 116 sites and Deep Sea Drilling Project Sites 215 and 218, were obtained to investigate the spatial extent, timing, and nature ...
Gas-charged sediments in shallow waters off Redi along the central west coast of India
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)
This study reports the occurrence of gas-charged sediments in the nearshore areas of the west coast of India. High resolution shallow seismic reflection profiles on the nearshore area along central west coast of India, at ...
Tropical sea surface temperatures and the earth's orbital eccentricity cycles
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)
The tropical oceanic warm pools are climatologically important regions because their sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are positively related to atmospheric greenhouse effect and the cumulonimbus-cirrus cloud anvil. Such a ...
