Sediment pathways and emergence of Himalayan source material in the Bay of Bengal
(Current Science Association, 2016)
The sediment succession in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) records the signatures corresponding to India–Asia collision, regional climate change, and erosional proc- esses of both the Himalayan orogen and Indian subcontinent. The ...
Lithosphere structure and upper mantle characteristics below the Bay of Bengal
(The Royal Astronomical Society, 2016)
The oceanic lithosphere in the Bay of Bengal (BOB) formed 80-120 Ma following the breakup of eastern Gondwanaland. Since its formation, it has been affected by the emplacement of two long N-S trending linear aseismic ridges ...
Magma production rate along the Ninetyeast Ridge and its relationship to Indian plate motion and Kerguelen hot spot activity
(American Geophysical Union, 2015)
The Ninetyeast Ridge, a linear trace of the Kerguelen hot spot in the Indian Ocean, was emplaced on a rapidly drifting Indian plate. Magma production rates along the ridge track are computed using gravity-derived excess ...
High resolution Holocene paleomagnetic secular variation records from Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)
We present high resolution paleosecular variation (PSV) records up to 8 cal. kyr BP from three piston cores, MD161/8, MD161/11 and MD161/13 acquired in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, Bay of Bengal. During the Holocene ...
