Geochemistry of sediments
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
Considering the potential of elemental data in marine sediments as diagnostic tools of various geological and oceanographic processes, sediment geochemical data from the Indian Ocean region has been reviewed in this article. ...
Ferromanganese nodules and their associated sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Rare earth element geochemistry
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)
The rare earth element (REE) distribution in nine deep-sea ferromanganese nodules and their associated siliceous sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) have been studied to elucidate the REE relationship among ...
Acoustic seafloor sediment classification using self-organizing feature maps
(IEEE, 2001)
A self-organizing feature map (SOFM), a kind of artificial neural network (ANN) architecture, is used in this work for continental shelf seafloor sediment classification. Echo data are acquired using an echosounding system ...
Geomorphology and geology of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
Marine geological studies in the Bay of Bengal were initiated by the Andhra University in early 1950's and have subsequently become widespread during the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE - 1962-65). Geomorphological ...
Microbial biomass and organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)
In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian ...
Distribution pattern and morphochemical relationships of manganese nodules from the Central Indian Basin
(Springer, 2001)
In the Central Indian Basin manganese nodule abundance was variable in all sediment types. Mean abundance varied from 1.5 in calcareous ooze to 10.2 kg/m sup(2) in terrigenous-siliceous ooze sediments. Nodule grade and ...
Glacial to Holocene fluctuations in hydrography and productivity along the southwestern continental margin of India
(Elsevier, 2001)
Oxygen isotope and sedimentological records of a sediment core from the southwestern continental margin of India are used to reconstruct the fluctuations in sea surface hydrography and productivity during the last deglaciation. ...
Evidence for multiphase folding of the central Indian Ocean lithosphere
(Geological Society of America, 2001)
Long-wavelength (100-300 km) folding in the central Indian Ocean associated with the diffuse plate boundary separating the Indian, Australian, and Capricorn plates is Earth's most convincing example of organized large-scale ...
Major, trace, and rare earth elements in the sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Their source and distribution
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)
The distribution maps of elements show that highest concentrations of Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn, Co, and biogenic opal in the surface sediment occurs between 10 degrees S and 16 degrees S latitude, where diagenetic ferromanganese ...
