Fluctuation in glacial and interglacial sediment discharge of the River Indus as seen in the core from the Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)
Sediment core from the upper continental slope off Saurashtra Coast has been analysed for CaCO sub(3) and coarse fraction contents in addition to planktonic foraminifera and clay mineralogy. Based on CaCO sub(3) and ...
Sediment depositional environment in some bays in Central west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Sediments in Kalbadevi and Mirya Bays are well sorted while those in Ratnagiri Bay are poorly sorted. Mean size of the sediments varies among the bays. Sediments in Kalbadevi Bay are both positively and negatively skewed ...
Geochemical evidence of terrigenous influence in deep-sea sediments upto 8°S in the Central Indian basin
(Elsevier, 1989)
Thirty-two representative deep-sea sediment samples have been studied from three manganese nodule-bearing environments in the Central Indian Basin: diatomaceous-radiolarian ooze-clay, pelagic brown clay and calcareous ooze. ...
Effect of sediment-water interface 'boundary layer' on exposure of nodules and their abundance: a study from seabed photos
(Geological Society of India, 1989)
The results obtained from seabed photos and boomerang grab samples reveal a striking similarity in distribution patterns of size classes of polymetallic nodules. Due to partial sediment cover, there is a 'fractionation' ...
Clay mineral distribution on tropical shelf: an example from the western shelf of India
(Indian Association of Sedimentology, 1989)
Seventy-five sediment samples collected from the Kerala continental shelf and slope during the 17th and 71st Cruises of RV Gaveshani were analysed by X-ray diffraction for clay mineral content. The distribution of total ...
Sediment boron and its relation to sediment properties in a tropical estuary
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1988)
Boron in the sediments of Mandovi estuary varied from 8.0 to 258.0 ppm with an average of 118 ppm. It showed an inverse relation to the texture of sediments and was found to be concentrated in silt and clay fraction with ...
Clay sediment accumulation rates on the monsoon-dominated western continental shelf and slope region of India
(Elsevier, 1988)
Clay accumulation rates shown in sediment cores from the nearshore to outer continental shelf and slope regions in water depths of 10-1246 m on the western continental margins of India were determined by the 210Pb dating ...
Geophysical and geological surveys along the northeastern flank of Mount error, Northwestern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 1987)
Bathymetry, multichannel continuous seismic reflection, magnetic and gravity surveys and sampling were carried out over Mount Error in the northwestern Indian Ocean and along the northeastern flank of the seamount, to study ...
Some geological processes in the Macro-tidal regime of Gulf of Kachchh, Northwest coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Echosounding and subbottom profiling, supplemented by side scan sonar profiling have been carried out followed by sediment sampling in the inner gulf of Kachchh The results show the presence of sandwaves with a height of ...
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 ...
