We acknowledge the Director of CSIR-NIO, Goa for providing the facilities to carry out the study. We thank Dr. M. Shyam Prasad, retired scientist (CSIR-NIO), for sharing the data from which Fig. 2 was generated. We thank Charushila Desai and Tejas Salkar for help in preparing Fig. 1 and Fig. 10, respectively. The sediment samples were collected during several cruises (AAS-22, AAS-38 and SSD-48) under the auspices of the project “Surveys for Polymetallic Nodules” (GAP 2175) funded by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, New Delhi, India. This work forms a part of the doctoral work of AA and she thanks CSIR (Direct SRF) for the research grants. We appreciate the help rendered by the Captains, crew, and participants of the many cruises during the sediment sampling operations. This is NIO’s contribution number 6577.
