Age-progressive volcanic chains are generally considered as surface expressions of deep-
rooted mantle plumes, whereas non-age progressive volcanic groups or solitary volcanic …

We shed light on the nature and structure of the crust surrounding the Comoros Archipelago,
western Indian Ocean, offering insights into the region's geological history and volcanic …

Aseismic ridges and oceanic plateaux, typically buried under thick post-rift sediments, are
isolated entities of enigmatic crustal character. Limited availability of deep seismic …

The study pertains to the use of two industry wells and one IODP drill site in conjunction with
high quality multichannel seismic reflection data in the northwestern Bay of Bengal. The …

The Makran subduction zone is atypical due to the thick sediment input and shallow
subduction angles, and thus is highly susceptible to megathrust earthquakes. However, the …

This paper examines spatial variations in the geomorphology of the Ninety East Ridge
(NER), located in the Indian Ocean. The NER is an extraordinary long linear bathymetric …

Abstract The 85° E Ridge is a prominent linear structure in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Its
nature and origin are still controversial due to the coverage of thick Bengal Fan sediments …

Abstract The central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) comprises numerous tectonic elements
related to the early-mid Cretaceous Antarctica-India rifting and subsequent formation of the …

Integrated analysis of high quality magnetic, gravity, bathymetry and multichannel seismic
reflection data along a 1300 km long transect SK101 between the DSDP218/IODP1455 and …

We present results derived from a seismic refraction experiment and gravity measurements
about the crustal structure of southern Sri Lanka and the adjacent Indian Ocean. A P-wave …
