Late Holocene (~ 2 ka) East Asian Monsoon variations inferred from river discharge and climate interrelationships in the Pearl River Estuary
(Elsevier, 2014)
A sediment core from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) was analyzed for grain size and organic geochemistry parameters (TOC and δ13C<sub>org</sub>). The results showed that high mean grain-size value and increased sand content ...
Formation of methane-related authigenic carbonates in a highly dynamic biogeochemical system in the Krishna–Godavari Basin, Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2015)
We report the abundant occurrence of authigenic Fe-rich carbonate, high Mg-calcite (HMC) and low Mg-calcite from 11 cores recovered from the Krishna–Godavari Basin (K–G Basin), Bay of Bengal. The cores were collected as ...
Surfzone wave characteristics during flood tide on the central west coast of India
(World Scientific Publishing, 2015)
Surfzone wave characteristics, measured using a wave and tide gauge (WTG) during a flood tide, were studied at three different beaches having different nearshore slopes. The spectral wave characteristics viz., wave-height ...
Hydrothermal Fe cycling and deep ocean organic carbon scavenging: Model-based evidence for significant POC supply to seafloor sediments
(Elsevier, 2015)
Submarine hydrothermal venting has recently been identified to have the potential to impact ocean biogeochemistry at the global scale. This is the case because processes active in hydrothermal plumes are so vigorous that ...
Regional variability in occurrence and distribution of polymetallic nodules in the central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2016)
Regional scale morphological studies on different-sized polymetallic nodules from the Central Indian Basin show that only 2–5 cm sized nodules have highest occurrence per station (92–94% along latitudes; 88–94% along ...
Re-examination of geophysical data off Northwest India: Implications to the Late Cretaceous plate tectonics between India and Africa.
(Elsevier, 2015)
The Gop and Laxmi Basins lying off Northwest India have been assigned ambiguous crustal types and evolution mechanisms. The Chagos-Laccadive Ridge (CLR) complex lying along the southwest coast of India has been attributed ...
Seasonal dynamics of adjoining tidal coastal inlet on east coast of India measurements and modelling
(IAHR-AIRH, 2014)
The opening and closure of coastal tidal inlets play a major role in regulating the water and sediment exchange between the river and ocean as well as in the interruption of the longshore sediment transport. The present ...
Quaternary climate modulation of Pb isotopes in the deep Indian Ocean linked to the Himalayan chemical weathering
(Elsevier, 2015)
We use reductive sediment leaching to extract lead (Pb) from the authigenic fraction of marine sediments and reconstruct the Pb isotope evolution of the deep central Indian Ocean over the past 250 thousand years at ~3 kyr ...
Directional characteristics of shallow water waves along southwestern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)
The aim of the present research is to investigate the directional characteristics of waves along the southwestern Bay of Bengal based on the measured data during 2010 at 14 m water depth. Diurnal, monthly and annual variation ...
Boninitic metavolcanic rocks and island arc tholeiites from the Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) of Singhbhum Craton, eastern India: Geochemical evidence for Archean subduction processes
(Elsevier, 2015)
The metavolcanic rocks of the Paleo-Mesoarchean Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) from Jagannathpur area of the Singhbhum Craton occur as enclaves within the Singhbhum granites (SBG). The primary mineralogical composition of ...
