Distribution of clay minerals in marine sediments off Chennai, Bay of Bengal, India: Indicators of sediment sources and transport processes .
(Elsevier, 2014)
Clay mineralogy, texture size and statistical analyses were carried out on surface sediments from the continental shelf of Chennai, Bay of Bengal, India. The purpose of this study is to characterize the clay mineral ...
Sediment dispersal in the macro tidal Gulf of Kachchh, India
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
Studies of sub-bottom physiography, tidal parameters and characteristics of the sediment in the Gulf of Kachchh have been made. The tidal range becomes progressively higher in the inner gulf with associated high magnitude ...
Provenance and distribution of clay minerals in the sediments of the western continental shelf and slope of India
(Pergamon, 1995)
The distribution of clay minerals from 156 surficial sediments of the western continental margin of India, ranging from 17 to 2000 m water depth, indicate that there are three principal sources of sediments. The illite and ...
Distribution of grain size and clay minerals in sediments from the INDEX area, central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
The granulometry of 21 box core sediments from five selected sites in the Central Indian Basin (CIB) have been studied to understand the sediment size characteristics in the Pioneer area before the benthic disturbance ...
Clay minerals and Sr-Nd isotopes of the sediments along the western margin of India and their implication for sediment provenance
(Elsevier, 2003)
Mineralogy and Sr-Nd isotopic composition of the less than 2-m fraction of the Holocene and late Pleistocene sediments from 12 gravity cores collected along the western margin of India were used to delineate the provenance ...
Historical environmental pollution trend and ecological risk assessment of trace metals in marine sediments off Adyar estuary, Bay of Bengal, India.
(Springer, 2014)
Geochemical, mineralogical and textural analyses were carried out in core sediments off Adyar estuary, Bay of Bengal, India to record the contamination trend from urban and industrial activities during the historical past. ...
Clay minerals as palaeomonsoon proxies: Evaluation and relevance to the late Quaternary records from SE Arabian Sea
(NCAOR, Goa, 2005)
Palaeoclimatic studies are largely dependent on the quality of records and a prudent use of environmental proxy indicators. In this study, the factors affecting the detrital clay minerals in marine environment and their ...
Aeolian deposition of Arabia and Somalia sediments on the southwestern continental margin of India
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)
Kaolinite, smectite, illite and chlorite as major clay minerals and palygorskite and gibbsite in minor quantities have been recorded from the slope of southwestern continental margin of India. Contribution of kaolinite, ...
Geochemistry of sediments
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
Considering the potential of elemental data in marine sediments as diagnostic tools of various geological and oceanographic processes, sediment geochemical data from the Indian Ocean region has been reviewed in this article. ...
