Do inverted depositional sequences and allochthonous foraminifers in sediments along the Coast of Kachchh, NW India, indicate palaeostorm and/or tsunami effects?
(Springer, 2006)
The study of 134 subsurface sediment samples from three cores collected along the Coast of Kachchh, off Gujarat Province, NW India, shows the presence of 151 foraminifer species. Q-mode cluster analysis on foraminifer data ...
Foraminifera [Marine Microfossil] as an additional tool for archaeologists - Examples from the Arabian Sea
(Society for Marine Archaeology, NIO, 2006)
During the past few decades, microfossils, especially foraminifers have become the prime source to address paleo-environmental issues. These microfossils also find application in marine archaeological studies. Foraminifers ...
Effect of oxygen manipulations on benthic foraminifera: A preliminary experiment
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2006)
Three sediment cores were collected at 50 m water depth on the west coast of India, off Ratnagiri, and were subjected to oxygen manipulations maintaining natural temperature and salinity. The objective was to understand ...
Laboratory experiment to study the effect of salinity variations on benthic foraminiferal species - Pararotalia nipponica (Asano)
(Geological Society of India, 2006)
Culture experiment has been carried out to observe the response of Pararotalia nipponica (Asano) to different salinities and its salinity tolerance limits. The specimens of P. nipponica kept in 33‰ saline water achieved ...
Application of foraminifers in ecotoxicology: Retrospect, perspect and prospect
(Elsevier, 2006)
In view of the extensive use of foraminifers for the pollution monitoring especially their unmatched utility in deciphering the temporal variation in the type and concentration of pollutants at a given location, the ...
Can the possibility of some linkage of monsoonal precipitation with solar variability be ignored? Indications from foraminiferal proxy records
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
Foraminiferal studies on a shallow water sediment core off Karwar, central west coast of India have revealed significant changes in the monsoonal precipitation during the last around 720 years. The results hint towards ...
