Marine mineral resources of the Central Indian Basin: Ferromanganese nodules and crusts
(Gulf Pub., Houston, USA, 1996)
The morphology, mineralogy and composition of ferromanganese nodules and crusts from the Central Indian Basin and southwestern flank of the Charlsberg Ridge have been characterized from the analyses of data and samples ...
60 Myr records of major elements and Pb-Nd isotopes from hydrogenous ferromanganese crusts: Reconstruction of seawater paleochemistry
(Pergamon, 1999)
The time series of major element geochemical and Pb- and Ni-isotopic composition obtained for seven hydrogenous ferromanganese crusts from the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans which cover the last 60 Myr are compared. ...
Influence of seabed topography on the distribution of manganese nodules and associated features in the Central Indian Basin: A study based on photographic observations
(Elsevier, 1993)
The distribution of manganese nodules and associated rock outcrops and sediment cover in the Central Indian Basin (10 degrees-16 degrees S, 73 degrees-82 degrees E), were studied from seabed photographs in relation to ...
Sedimentological impacts of INDEX experiment
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)
The polymetallic nodule exploration programme (PMN) has already identified one Indian mine site in the Central Indian Basin (CIB) where deep-sea mining activities are likely to start in future. In order to assess the ...
Opportunities for offshore mineral exploration in the Indian Ocean
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)
The Indian Ocean offers several opportunities for offshore mineral resources in the nearshore and coastal areas, the EEZs of different countries as well as the deep sea regions. The coastal and nearshore resources of heavy ...
Relationship between size and geochemistry of polymetallic nodules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Significance in selection of high grade nodules
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
Morphological, mineralogical and geochemical studies on nodules of different sizes collected from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) show two suits of nodule formation by oxic diagenetic and hydrogenous process resulting ...
Preliminary geotechnical properties of deepsea sediments from the Central Indian Basin
(Int. Soc. of Offshore and Polar-Eng.(ISOPE), Colorado, USA, 1995)
Geotechnical properties of the Plio-Pleistocene sediments from nodule bearing area in the Central Indian Basin have been studied to know shear strength and water content variation with depth. It reveals that surface sediments ...
Evidences for a volcanic province in the Central Indian Basin
(Geological Society of India, 1995)
Based on various lines of evidence such as the widespread occurrence of basalts, pumice, volcanic glass shards and their transformational products (zeolites, palagonites, and smectite-rich sediments), we suggest the presence ...
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, ...
Coexistence of pumice and manganese nodule fields-evidence for submarine silicic volcanism in the Central Indian Basin
(Pergamon, 1993)
Pumice, of various shapes and sizes, uncoated or coatEd. by ferromanganese oxides, have been recovered from deeper parts of the Central Indian Basin (CIB). The pumice field covers an area of 600,000 km sup(2), approximately ...
