The data acquired by five OBS systems along a 300 km long south-north profile in the CIOB (central Indian Ocean basin) have been modeled and the crustal and sub-crustal structure has been determined using 2-D tomographic inversion. Four subsurface layers are identified representing the sediment ...
The Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) abyss is densely covered with these nodules. Commercial mining can cause danger to the species present, some of which may be as yet unknown to science. The deep-sea fauna in the CIOB is the least studied among the three oceans, hence, the aim of ...
The Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) is an enigmatic ocean basin in the young and tectonically complex Indian Ocean. Major tectonic and volcanic forms identified are fracture zones, abyssal hills, seamounts and ridges and a unique zone of intraplate deformation. Petrology indicates the presence of...
central indian ocean basinA 2 m-long sediment core from the siliceous ooze domain in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB; 13°03′S: 74°44′E; water depth 5099 m) is studied for calcium carbonate, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, biogenic opal, major and few trace elements (...
There are, however, limited reports on bacterial diversity in nodule-rich areas of the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). In this study, bacterial abundance in thirteen sediment cores collected from the CIOB was enumerated, followed by phylogenetic characterisation and, screening of select ...
Seasonal variability in the currents at the subsurface (450–670 m), intermediate (1150–1370 m), deeper (3450–3670 m) and near-bottom (4270–5100 m) depths at three mooring stations in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were documented in 1995–1997. The current-meter moorings were ...

Two distinct groups of pumice are identified ...
The central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) comprises numerous tectonic elements related to the early-mid Cretaceous Antarctica-India rifting and subsequent formation of the Indian Ocean. A protracted rift-drift journey of the Indian plate was accompanied with frequent interactions between concurrent mantle ...
