Geochemical partitioning of Cu and Ni in mangrove sediments: Relationships with their bioavailability
(Elsevier, 2015)
Sequential extraction study was performed to determine the concentrations of non-residual metal-complexes in the mangrove sediments from the Divar Island, (west coast of India). Accumulation of metal in the mangrove roots ...
The abrupt onset of the modern South Asian monsoon winds
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2016)
The South Asian Monson (SAM) is one of the most intense climatic elements yet its initiation and variations are not well established. Dating the deposits of SAM wind-driven currents in IODP cores from the Maldives yields ...
Environmental issues of deep-sea mining
(Elsevier, 2015)
As terrestrial mineral deposits are either depleting or of low grade, minerals from the deep-sea like the polymetallic nodules, cobalt rich crusts and polymetallicsulfides are considered as alternative sources for metals ...
A tectonic model reconciling evidence for the collisions between India, Eurasia and intra-oceanic arcs of the central-eastern Tethys
(Elsevier, 2015)
Despite several decades of investigations, inferences on the timing and nature of collisions along the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Eurasian margin remain controversial. We assimilate geological and geophysical evidence into a plate ...
Controls on ferromanganese crust composition and reconnaissance resource potential, Ninetyeast Ridge, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2016)
A reconnaissance survey of Fe–Mn crusts from the 5000 km long (~31°S to 10°N) Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) in the Indian Ocean shows their widespread occurrence along the ridge as well as with water depth on the ridge flanks. ...
Microbial iron reduction and methane oxidation in subsurface sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)
Arabian Sea is one of the most productive regions of the world's ocean with seasonal upwelling and a characteristic oxygen minimum zone. It receives a continuous input of windborne iron-rich dust which possibly stimulates ...
Acoustic reflections in the water column of Krishna-Godavari offshore basin, Bay of Bengal
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016)
Seismic oceanographic studies from various oceans worldwide have indicated that the acoustic reflections are mostly observed along thermal boundaries within the water column. However, the authors present a case study of ...
Impact of port structures on the shoreline of Karnataka, west coast, India
(Cloud Publications, 2016)
The changes in shoreline positions and geomorphic features along the Karnataka, West coast of India, were studied for the period from 1973 to 2014, using multi-dated satellite images and topographic maps. The ten hotspots ...
South Asian summer monsoon variability during the last ~54 kyrs inferred from surface water salinity and river run off proxies
(Elsevier, 2016)
The past variability of the South Asian Monsoon is mostly known from records of wind strength over the Arabian Sea while high-resolution paleorecords from regions of strong monsoon precipitation are still lacking. Here, ...
Sediment pathways and emergence of Himalayan source material in the Bay of Bengal
(Current Science Association, 2016)
The sediment succession in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) records the signatures corresponding to India–Asia collision, regional climate change, and erosional proc- esses of both the Himalayan orogen and Indian subcontinent. The ...
