A petrogenetic model of basalts from the Northern Central Indian Ridge: 3-11°S
(Geological Society of China, 2007)
Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts (MORB) from Northern Central Indian Ridge (NCIR) were recovered between latitudes 30 and 110S and are olivine tholeiite with higher abundances of K and Rb. They are of typical transitional MORB ...
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. ...
Geochemistry of surficial sediments along the central southwest coast of India - Seasonal changes in regional distribution
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2003)
The coastal sediments (129 samples) of central- southwest coast of India, in and around Cochin, the second biggest industrial city along the west coast of India, were analyzed for their textural and geochemical fractions ...
Rock magnetic and geochemical record in a sediment core from the eastern Arabian Sea: Diagenetic and environmental implications during the late quaternary
(Elsevier, 2008)
Rock magnetic concentration, grain size and mineralogy parameters together with organic carbon, calcium carbonate, redox-sensitive elements, delta sup(18) O of Globigerinoides ruber and radiocarbon dating were carried out ...
Morphological characteristics and emplacement mechanism of the seamounts in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 2007)
The morphotectonic features of the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) provide information regarding the development of the basin. Multibeam mapping of the CIOB reveals presence of abundant isolated seamounts and seamount ...
Barium as a productivity proxy in continental margin sediments: A study from the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2002)
Barium, aluminium, cadmium and uranium were analyzed in 112 surface sediment samples from the western continental margin, of India. Excess Ba (Ba sub(xs)) concentrations are high at the SW margin of India, an area of high ...
The complex estuarine formation of six rivers (Cochin backwaters system on west coast of India) - Sources and distribution of trace metals and nutrients
(Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science; Colombo; Sri Lanka, 2002)
The largest backwater system on the western coast of India is the Cochin Backwaters to which 16 major industries discharge nearly 0.104 M m super(3) d super(-1) of wastes containing organic wastes at 260 t d super(-1). The ...
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 ...
The composition and the source of hydrocarbons in sediments taken from the tectonically active Andaman Backarc Basin, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2001)
Concentrations of total hydrocarbons in sediments of the tectonically active part of the Andaman Basin ranged from 130-720 (with an average of 349) mg/kg in the most active Spreading zone (the Rift Valley) to 43-180 (with ...
A predictive regression model for the geochemical variability of iron and manganese in a coral reef ecosystem
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
This article focuses on the influence of nutrient forms (nitrogen/phosphorous forms) and parameters like pH and organic carbon in the distributional characteristics of two important trace metals, viz. iron and manganese, ...
