Sediment-size distributions of the beach and nearshore environs along the central west coast of India: An analysis using EOF
(American Geophysical Union, 1986)
EOF analysis of the data on grain-size distributions of sediments in the phi -size class from the beach foreshore, backshore, dune, and nearshore environments of Colva and Calangute revealed that the first three phi ...
Topography and sedimentary characteristics of the sandy beach of Kavaratti (Lakshadweep) - a premonsoonal study
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
During the southwest monsoon beach sediments on the western coast of Kavaratti are transported from the southern tip of the island to its northern tip. After the monsoon the littoral current reverses and the redistribution ...
Living benthonic foraminifera in a tidal environment: Gulf of Khambhat (India)
(Elsevier, 1984)
Living benthonic foraminifera from the top one centimeter layer from 23 surface sediment samples have been studied. Samples were collected from the tidally affected inner shelf off the Daman Bombay sector of the Arabian ...
Phosphorus retention capacity of sediments in Mandovi estuary (Goa)
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Experiments carried out under controlled conditions to study P retention capacity of sediments indicate that the processes of adsorption and desorption of P are pH dependent. Adsorption of P is maximum (58-99%) at pH 4. ...
Clay mineral distribution on the Kerala continental shelf and slope
(Geological Society of India, 1983)
Seventy-five sediment samples collected from the Kerala continental shelf and slope during the 17th and 71st Cruises of @iRV gaveshani@@ were analysed by X-ray diffraction for clay mineral cntent. The distribution of total ...
Nannoplankton from RC9-156 in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Geological Society of India, 1983)
A deep sea core RC9-156 collected in the Arabian Sea at a water depth of 4583 m was analysed for calcareous nannoplankton and dissolution studies. Twelve species of nannoplankton were identified and based on the assemblage, ...
Anomalous behaviour of uranium isotopes in backwater sediments of Zuari river
(Elsevier, 1983)
The surface leaching of the labile component of uranium has been carried out in estuarine sediments of Zuari River in Goa, India The measurements of alpha activities of sup(238) U, sup(235) U and sup(234) U in the leachates ...
Geochemistry of Sediment cores of the Western Equatorial Indian Ocean
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)
Geochemical investigations including partition analysis have been carried out on nine sediment cores from the western equatorial Indian Ocean. The results show that a core from the Arabian Sea exhibits a greater terrigenous ...
Heavy Minerals in the Sediments on the Outer Continental Shelf between Vengurla and Mangalore on the West Coast of India
(Geological Society of India, 1981)
Fifty-eight sediment samples from the outer continental shelf between Vengurla and Mangalore were analysed for heavy minerals consist of principally opaques, hornblende, epidote, garnet, sillimanite, hypersthene and zircon, ...
Sediments of a Retting Yard
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Sediments of a coconut husk retting yard and a reference station in Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India were studied for 1 yr. Effects of monsoon were found significant Organic carbon and organic matter showed enrichment in ...
