Evidence for recent hydrothermal activity in the Central Indian Basin
(Pergamon, 1997)
This study documents the first actual prof of recent intraplate volcanic-hydrothermal activity in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). Twenty-six surface sediments and a spade core (37 cm long) from the CIB were examined for ...
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 ...
Barium as a productivity proxy in continental margin sediments: A study from the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2002)
Barium, aluminium, cadmium and uranium were analyzed in 112 surface sediment samples from the western continental margin, of India. Excess Ba (Ba sub(xs)) concentrations are high at the SW margin of India, an area of high ...
Himalayan sedimentary pulses recorded by silicate detritus within a ferromanganese crust from the Central Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2003)
A Central Indian Ocean deep-water seamount hydrogenous ferromanganese crust (SS663-Crust) contains variable (7-23%) amounts of detrital material (silicate-detritus). Taking into account the growth rate of the authigenic ...
Lime muds and their genesis off-Northwestern India during the late Quaternary
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2012)
Two sediment types were found in five gravity cores collected from water depths between 56 m and 121 m along the northwestern continental margin of India. lime mud was abundant in the lower section while siliciclastic ...
Micrometer- and nanometer-sized platinum group nuggets in micrometeorites from deep-sea sediments of the Indian Ocean
(The Meteoritical Society, 2011)
We examined 378 micrometeorites collected from deep-sea sediments of the Indian Ocean of which 175, 180, and 23 are I-type, S-type, and G-type, respectively. Of the 175 I-type spherules, 13 contained platinum group element ...
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 ...
Biogeochemical characteristics of sedimenting particles in Dona Paula Bay, India
(Elsevier, 2003)
Sedimenting particles were collected at weekly intervals from October to May during 1995-1997 at a station in the coastal waters of Dona Paula Bay on the west coast of India. Sedimenting particles were analysed for ...
The complex estuarine formation of six rivers (Cochin backwaters system on west coast of India) - Sources and distribution of trace metals and nutrients
(Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science; Colombo; Sri Lanka, 2002)
The largest backwater system on the western coast of India is the Cochin Backwaters to which 16 major industries discharge nearly 0.104 M m super(3) d super(-1) of wastes containing organic wastes at 260 t d super(-1). The ...
Physical properties of a long sediment core from the central Indian Basin
(Geological Survey and Mines Bureau, Dehiwala, Sri Lanka, 1997)
In a 7.5 m-long box core, collected at 9 degrees S and 77 degrees E from 5400 m water depth from the Central Indian Basin, geotechnical properties clearly reflect the Plio-Pleistocene boundary. It is marked by a drastic ...
