Immobilisation of manganese, cobalt and nickel by deep-sea-sediment microbial communities
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
Box core samples BC26 and BC36 from geologically different settings were examined to test the hypothesis that autochthonous microbial communities from polymetallic-nodule-rich Central Indian Basin sediments actively ...
Effects of composition of labile organic matter on biogenic production of methane in the coastal sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2011)
Coastal regions are potential zones for production of methane which could be governed by ecological/environmental differences or even sediment properties of a niche. In order to test the hypothesis that methanogenesis in ...
Do inverted depositional sequences and allochthonous foraminifers in sediments along the Coast of Kachchh, NW India, indicate palaeostorm and/or tsunami effects?
(Springer, 2006)
The study of 134 subsurface sediment samples from three cores collected along the Coast of Kachchh, off Gujarat Province, NW India, shows the presence of 151 foraminifer species. Q-mode cluster analysis on foraminifer data ...
Phenyltins in Surface Sediments of the Visakhapatnam Harbour, India
(Springer, 2012)
Twenty-two surface sediment samples were collected from Visakhapatnam harbour, east coast of India, and analysed for monophenyltin (MPT), diphenyltin (DPT), triphenyltin (TPT), total bacteria, and TPT tolerant bacteria. ...
Geochemical characterisation of major and trace elements in the coastal sediments of India
(Springer, 2010)
Thirty-five surface sediment samples from the Indian continental shelf were recovered offshore from the mouths of the major rivers (Brahmaputra, Ganges, Narmada, Tapti, Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery) discharging into the ...
Benthic disturbance and monitoring experiment in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Int. Society of Offshore and Polar Engineering, Colorado, USA, 1997)
Environmental impact assessment studies for deep-sea manganese nodule mining have been initiated in the Central indian Ocean Basin since 1995. As a part of the first phase for collecting the benthic baseline data, echosounding, ...
Acoustic basement: Its relevance to Karwar port development
(Allied, Chennai (India), 1996)
Detailed bathymetric, side-scan sonar and shallow seismic surveys followed by sediment sampling were conducted in Karwar Bay, Karnataka, India to study the surficial geology with special emphasis on basement configuration ...
Characteristics of humic and fulvic acids in Arabian Sea sediments
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)
Humic and fulvic acids isolated from some of the shelf, slope and offshore sediments of the Arabian Sea were studied. The molecular weight, functional groups, elemental composition and infrared spectra were examined. Humic ...
A new spectrofluorometric method for the determination of total arsenic in sediments and its application to kinetic speciation
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)
A simple and sensitive spectrofluorometric method has been developed for the determination of arsenic (As) using rhodamine-B as a fluorescent agent. This method is based on the reaction of As(III) with potassium iodate ...
Sediment Oxygen Demand in Cochin backwaters, a tropical estuarine system in the south-west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2012)
Eutrophication has often been one of the major problems encountered in estuaries and coastal waters. The oxic/anoxic status of an estuary can be effectively determined by measurement of the Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD). ...
