The Indian Ocean nodule field-: Geology and resource potential
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2018)
This edition provides a view of the most recent studies along with classical theories starting from the 1960s. New concepts, hypotheses and critical appreciation of the state-of-the-art knowledge on nodule formation and ...
Preliminary Study on Mg content of hard part(Test) of a benthic foraminifer from the inner shelf, off West Coast of India
(AP Akademi of Sciences,, 2005)
A preliminary study has been made for trace element (Mg) in the test of benthic species Bulimina exilis from a shallow sediment core (at 22 m water depth) off west coast of India using Electron Probe Microanalyser (EPMA) ...
Hydrothermal Alteration Promotes Humic Acid Formation in Sediments: A Case Study of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Wiley, 2018)
Anomalously high concentrations of humic?rich dissolved organic matter (DOM) in extant submarine hydrothermal vent plumes traveled far from source are increasingly being reported. This DOM, able to mobilize trace metals ...
The Indian Ocean nodule field: Geology and resource potential
(Elsevier, 2008)
This book briefly accounts for the physiography, geology, biology, physics and chemistry of the nodule field, and discusses in detail the aspects of structure, tectonic and volcanism in the field. The role of the ocean ...
Geochemical heterogeneity along the Vema Fracture Zone, Indian Ocean: Mixing of melts from the Reunion plume and the Central Indian Ridge
(2020)
We present here a scenario of magmatic and tectonic processes associated with the interaction between the Reunion mantle plume and the mantle beneath Central Indian Ridge (CIR) at the Vema Trench (VT) along the Vema Fracture ...
Implications of Microbial Thiosulfate Utilization in Red Clay Sediments of the Central Indian Basin: The Martian Analogy
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)
Microbial thiosulfate utilization and S-disproportionation could be important mechanisms of sulfate-formations on Earth and Mars. Sulfates on Mars date back to late-Noachian to Hesperian period. In contrast, the large ...
The economics of mining seabed manganese nodules: A case study of the Indian Ocean nodule field
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019)
Because of ever-growing demand for strategic metals, the focus of the international community has fallen on deep sea manganese nodules occurring at a water depth of more than 4500 m. We present an economic appraisal and ...
Nature, characterization and resource potential of littoral placer deposits of Goa, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
This paper presents an overview of the littoral heavy mineral placers from selected beaches of Goa, central west coast of India. The placer minerals are detailed in terms of their spatial and temporal distributions, mineral ...
Influence of low-temperature fluids and post-depositional changes in the siliceous-pelagic sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Springer, 2021)
In this paper, we discuss the possible reasons for the mass disappearance of radiolarians, hiatus in sedimentation, low-temperature alteration of sediments, and formation of palagonite and phillipsites in the Central Indian ...
The Sino-Indian Geopolitics and Maritime Security of the Indian Ocean Region
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) is a prominent arena in international politics, in terms of trade, tourism, population, among other aspects. Several countries, some unconnected geographically, have shown interest in these ...
