Constraining the Lithium Seawater Mass and Isotope Budget: Diagenetic Processes Through Marine Pore Waters
Silicate weathering consumes CO2 and controls cation fluxes to the ocean, thus playing a critical role in modulating long-term seawater chemistry and climate. There are very few markers of seawater chemistry whose value ... -
Damping of magnetic-Coriolis waves with imposed magnetic field orthogonal to the axis of rotation
Small-scale columnar structures (<10 km radius) in Earth's outer core result from inertial waves. In highly conducting fluid, magnetic field behaviour resembles stretched elastic strings and transmits disturbances as Alfvén ... -
A geochemical and Ca, Sr, Nd isotopic study of the mantle: case studies of Kimberlites, Ophiolites, Abyssal Peridotites, and Layered Igneous Complexes
The Earth’s mantle constitutes 67% of its mass and despite mantle convection, it is geochemically and isotopically heterogeneous as evident from the compositions of mantle derived basaltic melts. It is a dynamic system ... -
An investigation into the axial dipole field and mantle-induced heterogeneity in Earth
The Earth’s axial dipole field is generated by dynamo action in the planet’s outer core. It is understood from observations that the convection in the outer core is influenced by the lateral heterogeneity in the overlying ... -
Precambrian ocean, life, and syn to post-collisional records in the Himalayas (Kumaun)
The Ph.D. thesis focuses on the central sector of the Himalayas, i.e., Kumaun. Here, an attempt has been made to understand the poorly understood genesis of magnesium carbonates (sparry magnesite) of the Precambrian ... -
A stable Strontium isotopic (δ88/86Sr) study of seawater from the Bay of Bengal, coastal groundwater from the Bengal Basin, and the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Mahanadi, and Godavari rivers in India
Strontium (Sr) is an alkaline earth element that has four naturally occurring stable isotopes, 84Sr, 86Sr, 87Sr and 88Sr. During measurements of the radiogenic Sr isotope ratio (87Sr/86Sr), which is a widely used tracer ...
