δ<sup>18</sup>O and salinity variability from the last glacial maximum to recent in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Oxygen isotopes of surface, thermocline and bottom dwelling foraminifera were analysed from two well-dated Andaman Sea cores and combined with nine previously published records from the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Andaman Sea ...
The abrupt onset of the modern South Asian monsoon winds
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2016)
The South Asian Monson (SAM) is one of the most intense climatic elements yet its initiation and variations are not well established. Dating the deposits of SAM wind-driven currents in IODP cores from the Maldives yields ...
South Asian summer monsoon variability during the last ~54 kyrs inferred from surface water salinity and river run off proxies
(Elsevier, 2016)
The past variability of the South Asian Monsoon is mostly known from records of wind strength over the Arabian Sea while high-resolution paleorecords from regions of strong monsoon precipitation are still lacking. Here, ...
Lead distribution in coastal and estuarine sediments around India
(Elsevier, 2015)
This study describes the geochemical distribution of lead (Pb) and identifies the critical factors that significantly control Pb distribution and speciation in coastal and estuarine sediments around India by using published ...
Partitioning of metals in different binding phases of tropical estuarine sediments: importance of metal chemistry
(Springer, 2016)
Distribution of metals in different binding phases of estuarine sediments provides chemically significant description of metal–sediment interactions. This study describes the influences of ligand field stabilization energy ...
North Atlantic climatic changes reflected in the Late Quaternary foraminiferal abundance record of the Andaman Sea, north-eastern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2016)
Here, we present planktonic foraminiferal, benthic foraminiferal and other proxy profiles from well-dated sediment cores in the Andaman Sea showing changes in climate and oceanography at Dansgaard-Oeschger (D/O) and Heinrich ...
Distribution and nature of sedimentary organic matter in a tropical estuary: An indicator of human intervention on environment
(Elsevier, 2016)
Sediment texture controls the spatial distribution of sedimentary organic matter (SOM) in the Vembanad Lake. Influences of marine derived organic matter (OM) on SOM decreased inner-wards in the northern part of the lake. ...
Mercury profiles in sediment from the marginal high of Arabian Sea: An indicator of increasing anthropogenic Hg input
(Springer, 2016)
Total Hg distributions and its speciation were determined in two sediment cores collected from the western continental marginal high of India. Total Hg content in the sediment was found to gradually increase (by approximately ...
Hydrothermal signature in ferromanganese oxide coatings on pumice from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Springer, 2015)
Mineralogical and elemental analyses of 20 ferromanganese (FeMn)-coated pumice samples from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) indicate that todorokite is the major mineral phase, whereas vernadite occurs only rarely. ...
Organic matter - A key factor in controlling mercury distribution in estuarine sediment
(Elsevier, 2015)
Organic matter (OM) was found to play an important role in controlling mercury (Hg) distribution and speciation in estuarine sediment of the Vembanad Lake. The sedimentary organic carbon (OC) from the northern part of the ...
