This website is crucially missing information about the geological, geophysical, geochemical, paleo-oceanographical and paleo-climatological research undertaken within the Indian Ocean.

Since I'm not a geophysicist myself, there's not much I can present here by myself, but I will try to gather information present on the WWW so that you don't have to go through all the webpages anymore when looking for this topic.

However, if you're working on a subject relevant to this topic, your contribution is mostly welcome.

It will be my pleasure to add your work and interests here so please feel free to send me your contribution!!!
