Monsoonal effects on beach and offshore sediments from kalbadevi bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra state, India.
(DAV publisher, 2014)
Sediment samples representing the beach and offshore area of Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra were studied for different seasons along three east-west beach profiles (BP-01, BP-02 and BP-03) which covered berm, dune, ...
Studies on methanogenic consortia associated with mangrove sediments of Ennore.
(Triveni Enterprise, 2014)
In this study, methanogenic consortia were isolated and characterized from eight different sediment samples of mangrove ecosystem located in Ennore, Chennai. Out of eight samples, two consortia (SpR6 and SSS8) were consistent ...
Seasonal variability of beach characteristics between Candoliam and Colva coast, Goa, India.
(Centre for Geotechnology, MSU, 2014)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the seasonal impact on beach dynamics and the status of heavy mineral distribution along the study area. Beach profile measurements were made in 7 profiling sites between ...
Synthesis of deep multichannel seismic and high resolution sparker data: Implications for the geological environment of the Krishna–Godavari offshore, Eastern Continental Margin of India
(Elsevier, 2014)
Proven hydrocarbon occurrence in the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin, a part of the Eastern Continental Margin of India initiated intense exploration activities to discern the potential hydrocarbon bearing structures/payoff ...
Oceanospirillum nioense sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from sediment sample of Palk bay, India
(Springer, 2013)
A novel Gram-negative, spiral shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain NIO-S6T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Offshore Rameswaram, Tamilnadu, India. Strain NIO-S6 sup(T) was found to be positive for ...
Sources and distribution of organic matter in thirty five tropical estuaries along the west coast of India-a preliminary assessment
(Elsevier, 2014)
Studies characterizing the sources of organic matter (OM) to the west coast of India (WCI) and its continental shelf are limited. This study examined sedimentary OM in 35 estuaries along the WCI using molecular biomarkers ...
Kinetic speciation and bioavailability of copper and nickel in mangrove sediments
(Elsevier, 2014)
An attempt was made to establish a mechanistic linkage between chemical speciation of copper and nickel, and their bioavailability in mangrove ecosystem. Kinetic speciation study was performed to determine the concentrations ...
Bathymetric preference of four major genera of rectilinear benthic foraminifera within oxygen minimum zone in Arabian Sea off central west coast of India.
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2014)
Fifty two surface sediment samples collected from the region off Goa, central west coast of India from water depths of 15–3300 m were analyzed with special emphasis on foraminiferal content. Rectilinear benthic foraminiferal ...
Indications of an extreme event deposits along the west coast of India: evidences from GPR investigations
(Springer, 2014)
The ground-penetrating radar (GPR) was used to trace the subsurface details in the Palshet coastal zone (Maharashtra) as it exhibits an interesting array of geomorphological features. Furthermore, our main goal was to ...
Individual glass shard trace element analyses confirm that all known Toba tephra reported from India is from the c. 75-ka Youngest Toba eruption
(John Wiley, 2014)
Uncertainty over the identity and age of Toba tephras across peninsular India persists, with radiometric age dates contradicting earlier compositional data, which have been used to identify this important stratigraphic ...
