Sr–Nd isotope composition of the Bay of Bengal sediments: Impact of climate on erosion in the Himalaya
(The Geochemical Society of Japan, 2011)
A temporal high-resolution analysis of Sr–Nd isotopic composition, Fe, Al and V concentration and magnetic susceptibility (MS) has been carried out in a sediment core from the western Bay of Bengal to trace sediment sources. ...
Carbohydrates, uronic acids and alkali extractable carbohydrates in contrasting marine and estuarine sediments: Distribution, size fractionation and partial chemical characterization
(Elsevier, 2008)
Concentration, size fractionation and monosaccharide composition of carbohydrates and uronic acids were investigated in contrasting sediments of the Mandovi estuary (ME), Arabian Sea (AS) and the Bay of Bengal (BOB). ...
Biogeochemistry of the surficial sediments of the western and eastern continental shelves of India
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2008)
Even though continental margins cover only about 7-9 % of the world ocean area, they are important sites for organic carbon accumulation and hence play a major role in biogeochemical carbon cycling. Surface sediments from ...
Indian summer monsoon variability during the Holocene as recorded in sediments of the Arabian Sea: Timing and implications
(TERRAPUB, 2007)
Indian monsoon precipitation fluctuated significantly during the Holocene and a reliable reconstruction of the timing of the events and their implications is of great benefit to our understanding of the effect and response ...
Bacterial response to contrasting geochemistry in the sediments of central Indian Ocean basin
(Regional Research laboratory, Bhubaneswar, 2005)
The latitudinal differences in geochemical and physiographic nature could evoke varied biological/microbiological response in the deep-sea benthic ecosystem of the Central Indian Ocean. Sediment cores have been examined ...
Abiotic oxidation of pyrite by Fe(III) in acidic media and its implications for sulfur isotope measurements of lattice-bound sulfate in sediments
(Elsevier, 2008)
We have evaluated the relative importance of Fe sup(3+) to dissolved oxygen in pyrite oxidation, and its implications for measuring an accurate sulfur isotope composition (delta Sup(34) S) in trace sulfates extracted from ...
Authigenic carbonates in the sediments of Goa offshore basin, western continental margin of India
(Current Science Association, 2012)
Euhedral crystals (approx. 1 mm) of authigenic carbonates are identified in 5 m long sediment cores collected from the western continental margin of India in water depths between 2665 and 3070 m. Low-Mg calcite and aragonite ...
Rise of the dormant: Simulated disturbance improves culturable abundance, diversity, and functions of deep-sea bacteria of Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
The abundance of baroduric bacteria from nine sediment cores (0-10 cm below sea floor) was examined for their response to simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian basin (CIB). While the total counts of bacteria ...
Fungal community analysis in the deep-sea sediments of the central Indian Basin by culture-independent approach
(Springer, 2011)
Few studies have addressed the occurrence of fungi in deep-sea sediments, characterized by elevated hydrostatic pressure, low temperature, and fluctuating nutrient conditions. The diversity of fungi at three locations of ...
Effect of varying frontal systems on stable oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions of modern planktic foraminifera of Southern Ocean
(Current Science Association, 2011)
Studies have been carried out in the Atlantic and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean regarding the movement of its fronts (water-masses boundaries) with changing climate and other oceanic parameters. But the Indian ...
