This study examines the relationship between fishing activities
of Pacific Northwest albacore fishermen and the availability of albacore.
Tactical responses of troll-boat fishermen were compared to
changes in daily ap ...
The Cooperative Institute for Oceanographic Satellite Studies
(CIOSS) partners with The Science and Math Investigative Learning
Experiences (SMILE) Program to bring ocean sciences and satellite
oceanography to high sc ...
Manual and automatic solvent extraction techniques were used
to concentrate organic material from natural waters. Field and
laboratory extractions were compared to determine the most probable
method and best solvents ...
A 5km swath-width SeaMARC I sidescan sonar survey, conducted over
the zone of overlap between the southern rift zone of Axial Volcano and the northern
tip of the Vance spreading segment on the Juan de Fuca Ridge (betwe ...
The opening of the South Atlantic between 140 and 90 m. y. B. P.
occurred about two poles of rotation. The initial pole of rotation was
maintained until Africa and South America were completely separated.
The subseque ...
The portion of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) between 5° and 12°S
can be subdivided into three areas by fracture zones that offset the
rise axis at about 6.5°S and 9°S. In all three regions, the spreading
axis of the EPR ...
Time series records of horizontal current velocity, temperature, light attenuation
and settling particle flux obtained using moored instruments above Endeavour Ridge in
the northeast Pacific Ocean elucidate the dynamic ...
Small, mountainous river systems have been increasingly studied due to their importance as sources of fluvial sediment and organic matter to the coastal ocean. Thus far, studies of small, mountainous river systems have ...
I tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between inundation period and net
primary production (NPP) in estuarine salt marshes through an observational experiment at South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Or ...
Many sediments, including the fine-grained pelagic deposits,
possess polymodal grain size distributions. Resolution of individual
modes show them to be related either to compositional fractions or to
depositional proc ...
A three component drag probe has been built, calibrated, and
used to measure velocities beneath deep water ocean waves and
turbulence in a tidal channel. Simple variable inductance devices
which may be submerged in wa ...
