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, ...
Source and dispersal of suspended sediment in the macro-tidal Gulf of Kachchh
(Elsevier, 2007)
The macro-tidal Gulf of Kachchh, covering nearly 7000 km sup(2), is located about 150 km south of the Indus River mouth. In spite of semi-arid climate and lack of major rivers flowing into it, the Gulf is highly turbid ...
Seasonal variations in groundwater chemistry of a phreatic coastal and crystalline terrain of central Kerala, India
(Taylor and Francis, 2006)
This article investigates the seasonal variation in geochemical characteristics of groundwater in phreatic aquifers of the coastal plain and crystalline terrain of central Kerala, India. Within the coastal plain, the western ...
Geochemistry of deep-sea sediment cores from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Four sediment cores from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were studied to characterise the coarse fraction (less than 63 mu), transition metal and major oxide contents. Transition metals (Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn) show enrichment ...
Sediment texture, distribution and transport on the Ayeyarwady continental shelf, Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2005)
The Ayeyarwady continental shelf is a complex sedimentary system characterized by large sediment influx (N360 million ton/yr), a wide shelf (N170 km), a strong tidal regime (7 m maximum tidal range), and incised by the ...
Evidence of Himalayan erosional event at approx. 0.5 Ma from a sediment core from the equatorial Indian Ocean in the vicinityof ODP Leg 116 sites
(Elsevier, 2005)
A sediment core collected from an area _100 miles south of the ODP Leg 116 (distal Bengal Fan) in the equatorial Indian Ocean was investigated for microfossils, mineralogy, mineral chemistry, magnetic susceptibility, grain ...
Oceans: Geochemistry and mineral resources
(2002)
With increased exploitation of the onshore mineral resources, oceans that cover almost 71% of earth's surface and known as storehouse of minerals, provide a suitable alternative. Amongst the various underwater mineral ...
Environmental magnetism and application in the continental shelf sediments of India
(Elsevier, 2009)
Mineral magnetic and geochemical analyses were carried out on surface sediments from the continental shelf of India. The purpose of this study is to examine the environmental assessment of heavy metal concentrations and ...
Controls on organic carbon distribution in sediments from the eastern Arabian Sea margin
(Springer, 1997)
Sediment cores from the upper continental slope of the eastern Arabian Sea have high organic carbon (OC), CaCO sub(3), and sand content at the top. The values decrease with increasing depth in the Holocene and Upper ...
Size analyses and geochemistry of ferromanganese nodules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(1989)
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 ...
