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 ...
Oxygen isotopic analyses of individual planktic foraminifera species: Implications for seasonality in the western Arabian Sea
(Copernicus Publications, 2014)
The variation of stable isotopes between individual shells of planktic foraminifera of a given species and size may provide short-term seasonal insight on Paleoceanography. In this context, oxygen isotope analyses of ...
Proceedings of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Vol. 341: Expedition reports Southern Alaska margin
(Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, 2014)
A remarkable expedition discovery is the substantial sediment volume accumulating on the shelf, slope, and deep sea fan since the early Pleistocene intensification of Northern Hemisphere glaciation and more significantly ...
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, ...
A comparison of Mg/Ca ratios in Globigerinoides ruber (white): sensu stricto versus a mixture of genotypes
(Geological Society of India, 2016)
Mg/Ca ratios were measured in core AAS9/21 from the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), on two sets of planktonic foraminifera, one with a mixture of Globigerinoides ruber genotypes (sensu stricto and sensu lato) and the second ...
The tectonic stress field evolution of India since the Oligocene
(Elsevier, 2015)
A multitude of observations suggest neotectonic deformation in and around India, but its causes and history are unknown. We use a 2 dimensional finite element model with heterogeneous elastic strengths in continental regions ...
Assessing the suitability of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups to reconstruct paleomonsoon from Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016)
Temporal changes in benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups were suggested as an effective proxy to reconstruct past monsoon intensity from the Arabian Sea. Here, in order to test the applicability of temporal variation in ...
Late Holocene (~ 2 ka) East Asian Monsoon variations inferred from river discharge and climate interrelationships in the Pearl River Estuary
(Elsevier, 2014)
A sediment core from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) was analyzed for grain size and organic geochemistry parameters (TOC and δ13C<sub>org</sub>). The results showed that high mean grain-size value and increased sand content ...
Boninitic metavolcanic rocks and island arc tholeiites from the Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) of Singhbhum Craton, eastern India: Geochemical evidence for Archean subduction processes
(Elsevier, 2015)
The metavolcanic rocks of the Paleo-Mesoarchean Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) from Jagannathpur area of the Singhbhum Craton occur as enclaves within the Singhbhum granites (SBG). The primary mineralogical composition of ...
Mid-Pleistocene climate transition drives net mass loss from rapidly uplifting St. Elias mountains, Alaska
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015)
Erosion, sediment production, and routing on a tectonically active continental margin reflect both tectonic and climatic processes; partitioning the relative importance of these processes remains controversial. Gulf of ...
