Large-scale mass wasting on the miocene continental margin of Western India
(Geological Society of America, 2020)
A giant mass-transport complex was recently discovered in the eastern Arabian Sea, exceeding in volume all but one other known complex on passive margins worldwide. The complex, named the Nataraja Slide, was drilled by ...
Detailed Structure and Plate Reconstructions of the Central Indian Ocean Between 83.0 and 42.5 Ma (Chrons 34 and 20)
(2019)
The Central Indian Ocean, namely the Central Indian, Crozet, and Madagascar basins, formed by rifting and subsequent drifting of India (now Capricorn), Antarctica, and Africa (now Somalia). We gathered a comprehensive set ...
Impact of eddies on dissolved inorganic carbon components in the Bay of Bengal
(2019)
To examine the influence of anticyclonic (ACE) and cyclonic (CE) eddies on variations in hydrographic properties and total inorganic carbon system (CT), a study was conducted in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB). The depth ...
Molecular characteristics of sedimentary organic matter in controlling mercury (Hg) and elemental mercury (Hg0) distribution in tropical estuarine sediments
(Elsevier, 2019)
Sedimentary organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in hosting and reducing HgII in marine/estuarine sediment. This study provides a better understanding on the influence of nature of SOM, in regulating sedimentary ...
Oxygen isotopic and chemical composition of chromites in micrometeorites: Evidence of ordinary chondrite precursors
(2019)
We identified 66 chromite grains from 42 of ~5000 micrometeorites collected from Indian Ocean deep-sea sediments and the South Pole water well. To determine the chromite grains precursors and their contribution to the ...
Consistency of wave power at a location in the coastal waters of central eastern Arabian Sea
(2019)
Wave energy assessment at a regional scale is required for planning installation of wave energy converters. Based on continuously measured wave data at 14-m water depth in the central eastern Arabian Sea from January 2011 ...
Anti-Biofilm Activity of Biosurfactant Derived from Halomonas sp., a Lipolytic Marine Bacterium from the Bay of Bengal
(2019)
Abstract: Halophilic bacteria isolated from sediment samples of five oil drilling sites in the Bay of Bengal (BOB) were screened for their biosurfactant-producing ability and for lipase production. The anti-biofilm activity ...
Reconstruction of Late Pleistocene and Holocene Sea Level Curve for the East Coast of India
(2019)
Holocene sea level curve has been generated for the East Coast of India. About seventy five 14C dates which are available from published works on coastal plains and offshore regions of the East Coast were considered and ...
Impact of monsoon-induced discharge on phytoplankton community structure in the tropical Indian estuaries
(2019)
To understand the influence of monsoon-induced river discharge and associated environmental changes on phytoplankton community structure in the Indian estuaries, physical and biogeochemical parameters were collected from ...
Geochemical characteristics of submarine rhyolitic pumice from Andaman subduction zone: Inferences on magmatism and tectonics of north?eastern Indian Ocean
(2019)
This paper reports new geochemical data for submarine volcanic pumice sampled from two volcanoes (SM?1 and SV?1) which are part of the Andaman subduction system. SM?1 volcano is located closer to the Andaman back?arc ...
