Geochemistry of deep-sea sediment cores from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Four sediment cores from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were studied to characterise the coarse fraction (less than 63 mu), transition metal and major oxide contents. Transition metals (Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn) show enrichment ...
Lithological and mineralogical changes observed in a core from the western Bay of Bengal
(Allied, New Delhi (India), 1997)
Lithological and mineralogical studies were carried out on sediments from a 650 cm long core from the north western Bay of Bengal at a depth of 2700 m. These studies demarcate a boundary at 380 cm designated as unit 1 from ...
Evidence for recent hydrothermal activity in the Central Indian Basin
(Pergamon, 1997)
This study documents the first actual prof of recent intraplate volcanic-hydrothermal activity in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). Twenty-six surface sediments and a spade core (37 cm long) from the CIB were examined for ...
Physical properties of a long sediment core from the central Indian Basin
(Geological Survey and Mines Bureau, Dehiwala, Sri Lanka, 1997)
In a 7.5 m-long box core, collected at 9 degrees S and 77 degrees E from 5400 m water depth from the Central Indian Basin, geotechnical properties clearly reflect the Plio-Pleistocene boundary. It is marked by a drastic ...
Controls on organic carbon distribution in sediments from the eastern Arabian Sea margin
(Springer, 1997)
Sediment cores from the upper continental slope of the eastern Arabian Sea have high organic carbon (OC), CaCO sub(3), and sand content at the top. The values decrease with increasing depth in the Holocene and Upper ...
