We present the biogeochemical cycling of dissolved zinc (dZn) in marginal and open waters of the Indian Ocean using a high‐resolution dataset collected during multiple GEOTRACES‐India (GI) cruises. Atmospheric dust deposition is a minor source compared to continental shelf inputs for dZn in photic waters of the northern Indian Ocean. A strong linear relationship between dZn and silicate (Si) is noted across the Indian Ocean, w...

The protracted tectonic history concerning the northern edge of the pre‐Himalayan proto‐Indian plate margin during the Neoproterozoic time has been a long‐standing subject of debate, with various hypotheses enduring over several decades. Although a continental rift to passive margin setting has been proposed for the deposition of Neoproterozoic rocks of the Outer Lesser Himalayan Sequence (OLHS), the similarity in detrital zir...
