Title Monsoon variability during Late Pleistocene-Holocene in the southeastern Arabian Sea
 
Creator Chauhan, Onkar S
 
Description 99-101
Granulometric and clay mineral studies of a box core sample from the
tropical southeastern Arabian Sea reveal predominance
of silty clay, and occurrence of illite, smectite, chlorite and kaolinite among
clays. Palygorskite was also found to be distributed in minor amount. Utilizing
temporal variations in chlorite, illite and kaolinite (clay species of cold,
arid and humid climate), and in aridity indicator (chlorite/illite (C/I) and
humidity indicator (kaolinite/chlorite (K/C)) ratios, dominant arid phase of
Last Glacial Maxima and "Younger Dryas" of global climate models and
two dominant humid phases are identified.
