A note on chemical composition and origin of ferromanganese oxide coated and uncoated pumice samples from central Indian Ocean basin
(Geological Society of India, 2016)
Pumice are explosive volcanic product, occur as uncoated or coated with ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) oxide and resides in association with ferromanganese nodules on the seabed in Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). The older Fe-Mn ...
Multiple ash layers in late Quaternary sediments from the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2016)
We have investigated three sediment cores collected from water depths > 5000 m along the transect 76°30`E in close proximity to a fracture zone in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). The cores yielded five volcanic horizons ...
Distribution, provenance and early diagenesis of major and trace metals in sediment cores from the Mandovi estuary, western India
(Elsevier, 2016)
Major elements and trace metals were analyzed in four sediment cores recovered along a transect in the Mandovi estuary for their distribution, provenance and early diagenesis. The sediments were clayey silts in cores from ...
Impact of river discharge on distribution of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and its fluxes in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2015)
A systematic study was conducted to examine the on variations in DMS and DMSP<sub>t</sub> during peak discharge period along the coastal Bay of Bengal. The southern coastal Bay of Bengal (SCB) received a large quantity of ...
Environmental controls on the speciation and distribution of mercury in surface sediments of a tropical estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Distribution and speciation of mercury (Hg) in the sediments from a tropical estuary (Godavari estuary) was influenced by the changing physico-chemical parameters of the overlying water column. The sediments from the ...
Discovery of a new subclass of alpha-conotoxins in the venom of Conus australis
(Elsevier, 2014)
Cone snails (Conus sp.) are poisonous animals that can be found in all oceans where they developed a venomous strategy to prey or to defend. The venom of these species contains an undeniable source of unique and potent ...
Evaluation of surface water and sediment quality in Chicalim Bay, Nerul Creek, and Chapora Bay from Goa coast, India - a statistical approach
(Springer, 2016)
To better understand the spatial and temporal variation in surface water and sediment quality, parameters were evaluated from the three sites Chicalim Bay (CB), Nerul Creek (NC), and Chapora Bay (ChB) along the Goa coast, ...
Use of marine robot`MAYA` for monitoring the Zuari and Mandovi esturine systems
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 2015)
Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) are gaining popularity among oceanographic, meteorological and defense research organizations (Motwani, 2012). The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, MAYA designed and built at CSIR-NIO (Desa, ...
