Driving forces of Indian summer monsoon on Milankovitch and sub-Milankovitch time scales: A review
(Geological Society of India, 1998)
A scientific consensus exists that tectonic evolution of Himalaya is the main cause of monsoon initiation and evolution in southeast Asia. Several forcing factors such as tectonic, solar insolation, latent heat transport, ...
A tektite fragment discovered in the Central Indian Basin
(Current Science Association, 1998)
On the basis of various lines of evidence, tektites are now considered as glassy objects generated by meteorite impacts, distributed in four known strewn fields, of which, the Australasian tektite strewn field is the ...
A geophysical survey of the De Gerlache Seamounts: Preliminary results
(Springer, 1998)
The De Gerlache Seamounts actually consist of two medium-sized guyots, with summits at depths of 350-600 m. Acoustic profiler data show no significant sediment on these guyots. Alkaline basalts dredged from the summit of ...
Rapid climatic shifts and its influence on ancient civilisations: Evidence from marine records
(Universities Press, Hyderabad, India, 1998)
The southwest (SW) monsoon system in the Arabian Sea exerts a strong influence upon the climatic conditions in South and Southeast Asia and the associated monsoon rainfall has a great impact on the socio-economic and ...
Mineralogical and geochemical characters of surface sediments from the central Indian Basin
(Current Science Association, 1998)
Mineralogy and geochemistry of three types of surface sediments including their intermixtures, from 31 stations, in the ferromanganese nodule belt of the central Indian basin have been studied. Abundant illite, kaolinite ...
Periodic deformation of oceanic crust in the central Indian Ocean
(AGU, 1998)
New seismic reflection profiles of ~~ 5370 km, running through the Ocean Drilling Program Leg 116 sites and Deep Sea Drilling Project Sites 215 and 218, were obtained to investigate the spatial extent, timing, and nature ...
Structural characteristics of marine sedimentary humic acids by CP/MAS sup(13)C NMR spectroscopy
(Ifremer/ CNRS/ IRD/ Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves, 1998)
Humic acids from sediments of different depositional environments have been studied by solid-state sup(13)C NMR and the results compared with the traditional wet chemical analysis. Results obtained are well in agreement ...
Structure of major seagrass beds from three coral reef atolls of Lakshadweep, Arabian Sea, India
(Elsevier, 1998)
Detritus-based marine ecosystems such as mangrove and seagrass are of immense ecological importance. Major seagrass meadows from three coral atolls of the Lakshadweep group (Arabian Sea) were studied for their floral ...
Detection of gas-charged sediments and gas hydrate horizons along the western continental margin of India
(Geological Society, 1998)
High-resolution seismic reflection and sub-bottom profiling on the continental margin off western India has revealed the presence of characteristic acoustic maskings in the form of wipe-outs, reflector terminations and ...
Chemistry of surface sediment along a north-south transect across the equator in the Central Indian Basin: An assessment of biogenic and detrital influences on elemental burial on the seafloor
(Elsevier, 1998)
The detailed chemistry of the surface sediment collected along a north-south transect across the equator in the Central Indian Ocean suggest that: biogenic sedimentation north of equator is dominated by carbonate ooze and ...
