Impact microcrater morphology on Australian microtektites
(Meteoritical Society, 2003)
Scanning electron microscopy of 137 Australian microtekties and fragments from 4 sediments cores in the Central Indian Ocean reveals more than 2000 impact-generated features in the size range of 0.3 to 600 mu m. Three ...
Distribution pattern and morphochemical relationships of manganese nodules from the Central Indian Basin
(Springer, 2001)
In the Central Indian Basin manganese nodule abundance was variable in all sediment types. Mean abundance varied from 1.5 in calcareous ooze to 10.2 kg/m sup(2) in terrigenous-siliceous ooze sediments. Nodule grade and ...
Grain size analysis of sediments from the northern Andaman Sea: Comparison of laser diffraction and sieve-pipette techniques
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2006)
A comparison has been made of sand, silt, and clay percentage of 118 samples from the Ayeyarwady continental shelf, northern Andaman Sea, measured by the sieve-laser diffraction technique and by classical sieve-pipette ...
Radionuclide fluxes in the Arabian Sea: The role of particle composition
(Elsevier, 2005)
The influence of the composition of the vertical particle flux on the removal of particle reactive natural radionuclides (sup(230)Th and sup(231)Pa) from the water column to the sediments is investigated. Radionuclide ...
Possible detrital, diagenetic and hydrothermal sources for Holocene sediments of the Andaman backarc basin
(Elsevier, 2008)
Three sediment cores near the spreading axis in the Andaman backarc basin (ABB) were studied for bulk and clay mineralogy, major, trace and rare earth element (REE) geochemistry in bulk and three selective leaches, to ...
Sediment dispersal in the macro tidal Gulf of Kachchh, India
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
Studies of sub-bottom physiography, tidal parameters and characteristics of the sediment in the Gulf of Kachchh have been made. The tidal range becomes progressively higher in the inner gulf with associated high magnitude ...
Petroleum hydrocarbon residues in the marine environment of Bassein-Mumbai
(Elsevier, 2004)
The paper reports PHc contamination in water, sediment and biota of the coastal area of Bassein-Mumbai in relation to relatively less polluted sites (Dabhol and Ratnagiri, Maharashtra) off the west coast of India. To ...
Response of sedimentary nucleic acids to benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Information on the response of nucleic acids (i.e., DNA and RNA) to simulated benthic disturbance was obtained from samples collected from eight sediment cores (0-10 cm) located in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). In general ...
Productivity fluctuations in the southeastern Arabian Sea during the last 140 ka
(Elsevier, 2003)
Detailed analyses of multiple geochemical productivity proxies such as calcium carbonate, biogenic opal, biogenic Ba, organic carbon and total nitrogen have been carried out on a sediment core from the southeastern Arabian ...
Response of infaunal macrobenthos to the sediment granulometry in a tropical continental margine southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2008)
Surficial sediment samples, collected from the continental margin of the southwest coast of India in July 2004, were examined for the grain size and soft-bottom macrobenthic fauna, to understand the sediment granulometry ...
