Can bathymetry be a discriminatory factor for the distribution of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups in modern marine sediments?
(ONGC, India, 2000)
The foraminiferal content of one hundred eight modern marine sediment samples off Vengurla-Cochin sector (ranging in water depth from 30 to 1330 m). West Coast of India was studied. A total of two hundred four foraminiferal ...
Oceanographic evidences of the great floods in 2,000 and 1,500 BC documented in archaeological records
(Aditya Prakashan, New Delhi, 1992)
Based on the artifacts, a number of climatic changes in the past are documented in archaeological investigations which are reported to have been the causes for the rise and fall of human civilizations. The credibility of ...
Recent foraminifera along west coast of India: Restrospect, perspect and prospect
(Indian Academy of Geoscience, 1995)
An immense quantum of work on foraminifera is being carried out in Indian waters by various research centers and universities. However, a thorough review of the foraminiferal studies from Indian waters is yet to be amde. ...
A note on the laboratory culture of benthic foraminifera collected from nearshore region off Goa, India
(The Palaeontological Society of India, 1996)
A laboratory culture programme is established to extend credibility to foraminiferal-based techniques being used to generate the high-resolution proxy records for palaeoclimatic reconstruction. In order to obtain living ...
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) ...
Revealing monsoonal variability of the last 2,500 years over India using sedimentological and foraminiferal proxies
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)
A 2-m-long, shallow-water sediment core, representing the last 2,500 years, collected from the tropical Arabian Sea from the inner shelf (22 m water depth) off Karwar (Karnataka, India) near the mouth of the Kali River, ...
The reciprocity between coiling direction and dimorphic reproduction in benthic foraminifera
(The Geological Society Publishing House, 1992)
There are various opinions as to what parameter influences the coiling directions in foraminifera. "Do microspheric and megalospheric generations have different coiling ratios?" is an unanswered question in foraminiferal ...
Significance of correspondence between river discharge and proloculus size of benthic foraminifera in paleomonsoonal studies
(Springer, 1995)
Variations in the mean proloculus size (MPS) of the benthic foraminiferal species Rotalidium annectens were studied in a core collected off Karwar (20 m water depth), on the west coast of India. Comparison of downcore ...
Foraminiferal evidences for 77-year cycles of droughts in India and its possible modulation by the gleissberg solar cycle
(Coastal Research Foundation, 1995)
A 1.15 m long core collected from 20 m water depth off Karwar on the western continental shelf of India was studied to reconstruct the paleomonsoonal, precipitational history during the recent past with fine time resolution ...
Laboratory experiment to record rate of movement of cultured benthic foraminifera
(ONGC, India, 2000)
Sensitivity of foraminifera towards environmental / climatic changes, makes them a distinct proxy of paleoclimatic conditions. In order to use these micro organisms for paleoclimatic reconstruction, their response in the ...
