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 ...
Deep-sea fungi
(ASM Press, 2008)
The deep-sea environment, despite being rich in mineral nutrients and near-saturation levels of oxygen, because of its darkness is not conducive to photosynthesis, the process that sustains life on earth. If a liigh abundance ...
Depth anomalies in the Arabian Basin, NW Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2008)
Unreported depth anomalies in the Arabian Basin, northwest Indian Ocean is presented previously, to provide constraints on the evolution of the oceanic lithosphere of that basin. The depth anomaly reported in this study ...
Sup(10)Be variation in surficial sediments of the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2007)
Distribution of 10Be in systematically collected (degree + degree interval at 10 to 16 degrees S; 73.5 to 76.5 degrees E) surficial siliceous ooze, siliceous clay and pelagic clay sediments (top 2 cm) from the abyssal ...
Two layers of Australian impact ejecta in the Indian Ocean
(Meteoritical Society, 2003)
Only 2 Australian tektites have been found in the Indian Ocean, and both are associated with surficial sediments. Cores from both locations are collected, where the tektites have been reported. The microtektites in these ...
Bacterial contribution to mitigation of iron and manganese in mangrove sediments
(Elsevier, 2007)
The Mandovi and Chapora, (Goa, India) are two tropical estuaries lying in close geographic proximity on the west coast of India. Seasonal changes in down core variation of Fe, Mn and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in the ...
Marine geophysical investigations across the submarine canyon (Swatch-of-No-Ground), northern Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Science, 2008)
Multibeam swath bathymetry, gravity and magnetic investigations were conducted across the major delta front canyon known as Swatch-of-No-Ground in the northern Bay of Bengal. The study reveals that the canyon is a 300 m ...
Geotechnical properties of surface sediments in the INDEX area
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
As a part of the environmental impact assessment studies, geotechnical properties of sediments were determined in the Central Indian Basin. The undrained shear strength and index properties of the siliceous sediments were ...
Microbial biomass and organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)
In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian ...
