Characterizing Indian Ocean manganese nodule-bearing seafloor using multi-beam angular backscatter
(Springer, 2004)
Application of quantitative angular backscatter modelling to manganese nodule-bearing areas of the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) has been initiated at NIO during the year 1998. Studies were aimed to establish the ...
Changes in geotechnical properties of sediments from the Central Indian Basin induced by disturbance experiment
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
During the Indian Deep-sea Environment Experiment (INDEX) conducted in the Central Indian Basin to simulate nodule mining activity, the sediments were physically disturbed, lifted from the seafloor, and then redeposited ...
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 ...
Two layers of Australian impact ejecta in the Indian Ocean
(Meteoritical Society, 2003)
Only 2 Australian tektites have been found in the Indian Ocean, and both are associated with surficial sediments. Cores from both locations are collected, where the tektites have been reported. The microtektites in these ...
Bacterial response to contrasting geochemistry in the sediments of central Indian Ocean basin
(Regional Research laboratory, Bhubaneswar, 2005)
The latitudinal differences in geochemical and physiographic nature could evoke varied biological/microbiological response in the deep-sea benthic ecosystem of the Central Indian Ocean. Sediment cores have been examined ...
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 ...
First phase monitoring studies of simulated benthic disturbance delineating movement of fine particles in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Benthic disturbance due to future deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining would involve extensive sediment plume generation and resedimentation on the sea floor. In order to evaluate the effects of resedimentation on benthic ...
Alterations in geochemical associations in artificially disturbed deep-sea sediments
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
In view of the role of sediment geochemistry in regulating the benthic ecosystem, diagenetic remobilization of dissolved constituents, bottom water redox, and regeneration of benthic fluxes, surficial sediments in and ...
