Rock magnetic records of the sediments of the eastern Arabian Sea: Evidence for the late Quaternary climatic change
(Elsevier, 2005)
Rock-magnetic measurements along with grain size, acid-insoluble residue (AIR), organic carbon (OC), CaCO sub(3) and delta sup(18)O of the planktonic foraminifers of the sediments were determined for 15 gravity cores ...
Comment on "Lack of enhanced preservation of organic matter in sediments under the oxygen minimum on the Oman Margin" by T.F. Pedersen, G.B. Shimmield, and N.B. Price
(Pergamon, 1993)
A comment on the study on the lack of enhanced preservation of organic matter in sediments under the oxygen minimum on the Oman Margin is given. As such a negative correspondence between productivity and organic enrichment ...
Coupling between suboxic condition in sediments of the western Bay of Bengal and southwest monsoon intensification: A geochemical study
(Elsevier, 2013)
Reconstruction of paleo-redox conditions in a radiocarbon (14C) dated sediment core (SK-218/1), covering the past 45 ka (thousand calendar years), collected from the western Bay of Bengal (Lat: 14 degrees 02′N; Long: 82 ...
Monitoring the sedimentary carbon in an artificially disturbed deep-sea sedimentary environment
(Springer, 2012)
An area of 0.6 km sup(2) in the manganese nodule field of the Central Indian Basin was physically disturbed and sediments discharged in the near bottom waters to simulate seabed mining and study its impact on benthic ...
Sources of hydrocarbons in sediments of the Mandovi estuary and the Marmugoa harbour, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2008)
Surface sediments were collected from various locations of the Mandovi estuary and the Marmugoa harbour, Goa, India. Sediments were analysed for organic carbon (OC), total lipids, n-alkanes concentration and composition. ...
Mercury speciation in coastal sediments from the central east coast of India by modified BCR method.
(Elsevier, 2014)
This is the first study to describe distribution and speciation of Hg in coastal sediments from the central east coast of India. The concentrations of Hg in the studied sediments were found to be much lower than the Hg ...
Evidence of Himalayan erosional event at approx. 0.5 Ma from a sediment core from the equatorial Indian Ocean in the vicinityof ODP Leg 116 sites
(Elsevier, 2005)
A sediment core collected from an area _100 miles south of the ODP Leg 116 (distal Bengal Fan) in the equatorial Indian Ocean was investigated for microfossils, mineralogy, mineral chemistry, magnetic susceptibility, grain ...
Controls on organic carbon distribution in sediments from the eastern Arabian Sea margin
(Springer, 1997)
Sediment cores from the upper continental slope of the eastern Arabian Sea have high organic carbon (OC), CaCO sub(3), and sand content at the top. The values decrease with increasing depth in the Holocene and Upper ...
Sediments of a Retting Yard
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Sediments of a coconut husk retting yard and a reference station in Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India were studied for 1 yr. Effects of monsoon were found significant Organic carbon and organic matter showed enrichment in ...
New evidence for enhanced preservation of organic carbon in contact with oxygen minimum zone on the western continental slope of India
(Elsevier, 1993)
In order to evaluate the reason for organic enrichment on the western continental slope of India, we provide Rock-Eval pyrolysis data of 25 surficial sediment samples from this area. Results show that the organic matter ...
