A foraminiferal testimony for the reduced adverse effects of mining in Zuari Estuary, Goa
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
This paper demonstrates the potentiality of foraminifera in detecting mining pollution. Goa's Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex is most vulnerable to deterioration caused by the mining industry. The objective of the present ...
A study of lead and cadmium speciation in some estuarine and coastal sediments
(Elsevier, 2012)
Chemical speciation of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in the coastal and estuarine sediments along the central east coast of India was studied by applying sequential and kinetic extraction methods. The results of this study ...
Detection of gas-charged sediments and gas hydrate horizons along the western continental margin of India
(Geological Society, 1998)
High-resolution seismic reflection and sub-bottom profiling on the continental margin off western India has revealed the presence of characteristic acoustic maskings in the form of wipe-outs, reflector terminations and ...
Controls on the distribution and fractionation of yttrium and rare earth elements in core sediments from the Mandovi estuary, western India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Mineralogy, major elements (Fe, Mn and Al), rare earths and yttrium (REY) of bulk sediments were analyzed in four gravity cores recovered along the main channel of the Mandovi estuary, western India, to determine the sources ...
Provenance and distribution of clay minerals in the sediments of the western continental shelf and slope of India
(Pergamon, 1995)
The distribution of clay minerals from 156 surficial sediments of the western continental margin of India, ranging from 17 to 2000 m water depth, indicate that there are three principal sources of sediments. The illite and ...
Heavy metal tolerance in the psychrotolerant Cryptococcus sp. isolated from deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Basin
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
A deep-sea isolate of the psychrotolerant yeast Cryptococcus sp. (NIOCC#PY13) obtained from polymetallic nodule-bearing sediments of the Central Indian Basin was examined for its capacity to grow in the presence of various ...
Fate of copper complexes in hydrothermally altered deep-sea sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin.
(Elsevier, 2014)
The current study aims to understand the speciation and fate of Cu complexes in hydrothermally altered sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin and assess the probable impacts of deep-sea mining on speciation of Cu ...
Origin and significance of high-grade phosphorite in a sediment core from the continental slope off Goa, India
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1995)
A phosphorite crust was found at 380-390 cm depth interval of a sediment core collected from the topographic high occurring on the continental slope off Goa. This crust is fragile and grey to light brown in colour. Carbonate ...
Distribution of grain size and clay minerals in sediments from the INDEX area, central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
The granulometry of 21 box core sediments from five selected sites in the Central Indian Basin (CIB) have been studied to understand the sediment size characteristics in the Pioneer area before the benthic disturbance ...
Fe speciation and Fe/Al ratio in the sediments of southeastern Arabian Sea as an indicator of climate change
(Elsevier, 2012)
Aluminium, titanium and iron are the major lithogeneous contributors to the marine sediment and their abundance varies strikingly with the intensity of monsoonal precipitation. Al and Ti concentrations in a sediment core ...
