Detection of pollutants in marine organisms and in the environment as markers of environmental quality
(Pennsilvania Academy of Science, 2005)
This chapter presents an overview of various techniques of detection of different types of pollutants such as organochlorine pesticides (e.g. DDT, HCHs, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, Hepox, heptaclor), polychlorinated biphenyls ...
Ammolagena clavata (Jones and Parker, 1860), an agglutinated benthic foraminiferal species - first report from the Recent sediments, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean region
(Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research, 2004)
The rare presence of the agglutinated foraminiferal species Ammolagena clavata is presented for the first time from the Recent sediments of the Indian Ocean region. This species has previously been reported in Recent ...
Underwater investigations off Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)
Mahabalipuram, the famous centre of Pallava art and architecture, is situated on the coast of Tamil Nadu, India. The local traditions and the foreign accounts vividly refer to the submergence of six temples out of seven ...
Mineralogical and geochemical aspects of the marine sediments off Goa
(Geological Society of Goa, 2009)
The state of Goa has a 105 km long ria-type coastline and the morphometric analysis of major rivers indicate submergence of land mass in relation to the offshore region. In the coastal region, mineral assemblage of Morgim ...
Biogeochemistry of the North Indian Ocean
(Indian National Science Academy, 2006)
Biogeochemistry is a subject wherein geochemical and biological processes occurring in the upper layers of the Earth, including atmosphere, are studied together. Many of the climatically important gases influencing the ...
Assessment of storm surge disaster potential for the Andaman Islands
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2008)
The Andaman Sea is known for the genesis of many severe cyclones that traverse the Bay of Bengal. The Andaman Islands face the surge disaster threat as their north-south orientation comes across the eastward path of severe ...
Observational evidence for westward propagation of temperature inversions in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
A warm pool forms in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) prior to the onset of the summer monsoon over India in early June; the core
of this warm pool is in the Lakshadweep Sea (LS). XBT and surface salinity data collected ...

Oxygen and carbon isotopic analyses have been performed on the tests of Globigerina bulloides, Globigerinoides sacculifer, Neogloboquadrina dutertrei and Pulleniatina obliquiloculata to study the delta super(18)O and delta ...
Relationship between chemical composition and magnetic susceptibility in sediment cores from Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2008)
Three sediment cores in a north–south transect (3 degrees N to 13 degrees S) from different sediment types of the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) are studied to understand the possible relationship between magnetic ...
