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 ...
Distribution patterns of Recent planktonic foraminifera in surface sediments of the western continental margin of India
(Elsevier, 1993)
Study of Recent plankton foraminifera from the surface sediment samples of western continental margin of India reveals the ecological preferences of the different planktonic foraminifera species in the area. Higher absolute ...
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 ...
State of oil pollution in the northern Arabian Sea after the 1991 Gulf oil spill
(Pergamon, 1993)
Following the enormous oil spills resulting from the 1990-91 military conflict in the Gulf, fears were expressed concerning dissipation of oil from the Gulf into the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. To investigate contamination ...
Geochemistry of deep-sea sediment cores from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Four sediment cores from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were studied to characterise the coarse fraction (less than 63 mu), transition metal and major oxide contents. Transition metals (Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn) show enrichment ...
New evidence for enhanced preservation of organic carbon in contact with oxygen minimum zone on the western continental slope of India
(Elsevier, 1993)
In order to evaluate the reason for organic enrichment on the western continental slope of India, we provide Rock-Eval pyrolysis data of 25 surficial sediment samples from this area. Results show that the organic matter ...
Granulometric analyses of pelites using a sedigraph: Examples from a Volcano-sedimentary environment
(Geological Society of India, 1993)
This article presents granulometric data of pelites (less than 40 microns) of mixed composition from a volcano-sedimentary environment. The sedigraph serves as an useful tool in the analyses of silt-clay fraction of marine ...
Gas-charged sediments on the inner continental shelf off western India
(Elsevier, 1993)
High resolution seismic reflection profiles on the inner continental shelf (less than 60 m water depth) off India from 10 degrees N to 22 degrees N show 5-35 m of weakly stratified acoustically transparent clays. At water ...
