Gravity displaced debris flows/turbidites have been observed in five box cores collected between water depths of 649 and 3,627 m from the Central Western continental margin of India. Studies on grain size, carbonate content, ...

Forty eight sediment samples, collected from 50-100m depth, have been analysed for their clay mineral composition and distribution. Kaolinite with chlorite (K + C) is the predominant mineral followed by illite and ...

Mineralogical and chemical investigations show that todorokite is the only Mn mineral in the Mid-Indian Ridge ferromanganese, coatings, delta MnO2 in the seamount crusts, and well crystallised todorokite and minor amounts ...

Ferromanganese nodules collected during the 13th cruise of the M.V. Skandi Surveyor in 1987 cover a very large area, 71 424 km super(2) in the Central Indian Ocean. The area consists of 13 nodule types, which are grouped ...

As part of engineering pre-design investigations, high resolution geophysical surveys were carried out in and around Bombay harbour, India. The depth in the area varies from dries over the mudflats to about 14m towards the ...

Surficial sediment samples collected from the continental shelf and slope of the Bay of Bengal were studied for the distribution of organic carbon and its constituent fractions such as carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids ...

Removal of sand by wind from the beach at Miramar-Caranzalem, Goa, has been found to effect its stability over a relatively longer time scale. This aeolian sand transport has been computed for this strip of the beach ...
