Download or read book The Indian Ocean written by Sridhar D. Iyer and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Ocean: Basics of Marine Geology, Physics and Chemistry begins with a short introduction to the and origin of water and formation of oceans on Earth. This is followed by the history of Oceanography / Marine Sciences, including international and Indian scenarios. In subsequent chapters marine instruments, sampling equipment, coastal features, offshore and deep-sea feature, and structures are discussed. Oceanic volcanism, formation of different rocks and geotectonics (continental drift, plate tectonics, seafloor spreading) are detailed, as these play important roles in the evolution of Earth. Sediments of the coasts and deep sea are presented in terms of their classifications, granulometry, chemical compositions and other parameters. The properties of sea water, oceanic circulation and cycling of nutrients form the crux of physical oceanography. The Indian Ocean: Basics of Marine Geology, Physics and Chemistry includes a chapter on the biology of the oceans, and their importance to sediment formation and palaeoceanography form another chapter. A chapter on mineral wealth of the coasts (near- and off-shore) and deep sea is included and contains beach sands, placer deposits, polymetallic nodules, phosphorites, hydrothermal polymetallic sulphides. In addition, the economics of mining these deposits are covered. Information related to harnessing various energies from the sea such as from tides, waves, currents and winds are incorporated. The Indian Ocean also deals with the important aspects of territorial waters, exclusive economic zones and coastal regulation zones together with international maritime laws, rules and regulations. A chapter pertaining to blue economy and green technology of the oceans are also presented. The highlight of the book is the inclusion of details, examples and photographs from Indian coasts and neighboring seas (especially Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal) and the Indian Ocean. Presents the Indian Ocean in the context of global ocean circulation and climate Includes a modern, comprehensive, coherent treatment of the Indian Ocean's physical, chemical and biological oceanography Provides examples and case studies related to India, that can also be applied elsewhere

Download or read book The Indian Ocean Nodule Field written by Ranadhir Mukhopadhyay and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Ocean Nodule Field: Geology and Resource Potential, Second Edition, provides a view of the most recent studies along with classical theories starting from the 1960s. New concepts, hypotheses and critical appreciation of the state-of-the-art knowledge on nodule formation and resource management are featured in this new edition. The economy of the Indian Ocean has vast potential and yet it is one of the least studied oceans. Garnering economic advantage out of mineral resources from deep oceans has been a long cherished dream for the mining community. The availability of 5-metal rich polymetallic (manganese) nodules in specific areas of the Indian Ocean has lured researchers to discover more about their processes of formation, growth, distribution and enrichment. Collates, discusses and succinctly presents voluminous and scattered information from various books and journals for easy understanding and dissemination Features two new chapters: statistical modeling of the formation, growth, distribution and metal enrichment of nodules; and biogeochemistry of the Central Indian Ocean Basin Includes an assessment of Indian Ocean nodules, one of the least studied oceans in comparison to samples analyzed from the world’s oceans

Download or read book Indian Ocean Resources and Technology written by Ganpat Singh Roonwal and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current scenario provides an ideal opportunity to confer higher priority to the marine resources of the Indian Ocean, particularly in terms of integrated management of the deep sea, shallow sea and coastal resources. This will maximize their potential in the sustainable development goal (SDG) pattern, leading to an appropriate environmental management. Therefore, this book aims to provide an overview of the area and to highlight the potential market opportunities represented by this vast and rapidly developing nation. In doing so the following aspects have been covered: Exclusive title focussing on mineral resources of Indian ocean. Discusses living, nonliving, ocean waves and tidal energy, ocean environment and protection aspects. Includes information on key themes, details of organizations associated with the Indian Ocean. Illustrates deep sea mining technology and environmental perspectives. Covers hydrocarbons-sub sea oil and gas, minerals from placer deposits to deep sea nodules, sea floor massive sulphides and cobalt rich encrustations.
Download or read book Marine Geology written by Kim Berg and published by Discovery Publishing House (India). This book was released on 2024-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine Geology is a field of study that examines the geological processes and features of our oceans. It encompasses a wide range of areas, including the deep ocean floor, the slopes and shelves surrounding the continents, and coastal regions such as beaches and estuaries. By examining the geological material found in these areas, scientists can gain valuable insights into past climate conditions and changes that have occurred over time.The book "Marine Geology" covers various aspects of this field, focusing on the geology of continental margins, deep ocean basins, and the global mid-ocean ridge system. It presents the latest research findings and techniques used in the study of marine geology. The book explores innovative approaches to analyzing geophysical data, advancements in deep-sea floor imaging techniques, and tools for measuring rock and sediment properties. It serves as a comprehensive resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field of marine geology, providing them with a solid foundation and an up-to-date understanding of the subject.
