Ooid turbidites from the Central Western continental margin of India
(Springer, 1989)
Gravity displaced debris flows/turbidites have been observed in five box cores collected between water depths of 649 and 3,627 m from the Central Western continental margin of India. Studies on grain size, carbonate content, ...
Sonograph patterns of the central western continental shelf of India
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1989)
Side scan sonar and bathymetric surveys were conducted on the central western continental shelf of India. The sonographs portray a smooth, relatively featureless inner shelf, up to a depth less than 40-50 m, which is covered ...
Lack of cross-shelf transport of sediments on the western margin of India: Evidence from clay mineralogy
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1989)
The distribution of clay minerals on the inner shelf, outer shelf and in a 6 month sediment trap on the western continental shelf of India has been studied. Marked compositional differences in the inner shelf clays ...
Holocene marine transgression as interpreted from bathymetry and sand grain size parameters off Gopalpur
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1989)
Grain size statistical parameters of the surface sediment samples collected from the innershelf off Gopalpur were calculated using graphic and moment methods. Fine-grained sand present up to 15 m water depth shows symmetrical ...
Clay mineral distribution on tropical shelf: an example from the western shelf of India
(Indian Association of Sedimentology, 1989)
Seventy-five sediment samples collected from the Kerala continental shelf and slope during the 17th and 71st Cruises of RV Gaveshani were analysed by X-ray diffraction for clay mineral content. The distribution of total ...
Texture, carbonate content and component composition of Mauritius beach sands, Indian Ocean
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1988)
Samples collected from beaches bordering the southern, southeastern, western and northwestern shores representing swell (windward) and non-swell (leeward) dominated environments of the island of Mauritius were studied in ...
Sediment-size distributions of the beach and nearshore environs along the central west coast of India: An analysis using EOF
(American Geophysical Union, 1986)
EOF analysis of the data on grain-size distributions of sediments in the phi -size class from the beach foreshore, backshore, dune, and nearshore environments of Colva and Calangute revealed that the first three phi ...
Morphology and grain-size characteristics of a log-spiral beach at Nagwa (Diu), west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)
Sediment samples collected along 6 beach profiles of a log-spiral shaped beach and nearby dunes have been studied for particle size distribution in relation to wave refraction patterns. The results reveal that the foreshore ...
Clay mineral distribution on the Kerala continental shelf and slope
(Geological Society of India, 1983)
Seventy-five sediment samples collected from the Kerala continental shelf and slope during the 17th and 71st Cruises of @iRV gaveshani@@ were analysed by X-ray diffraction for clay mineral cntent. The distribution of total ...
Surficial Sediments of the Continental Shelf off Karnataka
(Geological Society of India, 1981)
The continental shelf in this area is about 80 km wide and the edge of the shelf varies between 90 and 120 m water depth. Geologically modern fine-grained clastic sediments occur between the water depth. Geologically modern ...
