Changes in geotechnical properties of sediments from the Central Indian Basin induced by disturbance experiment
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
During the Indian Deep-sea Environment Experiment (INDEX) conducted in the Central Indian Basin to simulate nodule mining activity, the sediments were physically disturbed, lifted from the seafloor, and then redeposited ...
Distribution of manganese nodules, rocks and sediments in the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Factors influencing performance of mining system
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
Manganese nodule abundances in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) as noted from seabed photographs (nil to 18.4 kg/m sup(2)) and grabs (nil to 21.5 kg/m sup(2)) are variable. The relative abundance varies from zero to ...
First phase monitoring studies of simulated benthic disturbance delineating movement of fine particles in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Benthic disturbance due to future deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining would involve extensive sediment plume generation and resedimentation on the sea floor. In order to evaluate the effects of resedimentation on benthic ...
Alterations in geochemical associations in artificially disturbed deep-sea sediments
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
In view of the role of sediment geochemistry in regulating the benthic ecosystem, diagenetic remobilization of dissolved constituents, bottom water redox, and regeneration of benthic fluxes, surficial sediments in and ...
