Early retreat of the Alaska Peninsula Glacier Complex and the implications for coastal migrations of First Americans

Misarti, Nicole; Finney, Bruce P.; Jordan, James W.; Maschner, Herbert D. G.; Addison, Jason A.; Shapley, Mark D.; Krumhardt, Andrea; Beget, James E. (Elsevier, 2012-08-10)

The debate over a coastal migration route for the First Americans revolves around two major points: seafaring technology, and a viable landscape and resource base. Three lake cores from Sanak Island in the western Gulf o ...
Earthquakes: Caught in the act

Braunmiller, Jochen (Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2012-05)

Faults break under the stress of plate tectonic forces, but the processes immediately preceding rupture are enigmatic. Monitoring of a remote oceanic fault that breaks regularly indicates that rupture is controlled by ...

Multiproxy geologic records of δ18O and Mg/Ca in fossil foraminifera from sediments under the Eastern Pacific Warm Pool (EPWP) region west of Central America document variations in upper ocean temperature, pycnocline str ...
Echo strength and density structure of Hawaiian mesopelagic boundary community patches

Benoit-Bird, Kelly J.; Au, Whitlow W. L. (Acoustical Society of America, 2003-10)

A broadband sonar system and digital camera with strobe lights were mounted on a vertically profiling frame with a depth sensor. The echo strengths and densities of animals within individual mesopelagic boundary communit ...
Eclipse Ice Core Accumulation and Stable Isotope Variability as an Indicator of North Pacific Climate

Kelsey, Eric P.; Wake, Cameron P.; Yalcin, Kaplan; Kreutz, Karl (American Meteorological Society, 2012-09-15)

The high accumulation rate and negligible amount of melt at Eclipse Icefield (3017 m) in the Saint Elias Range of Yukon, Canada, allows for the preservation of a high-resolution isotopic and glaciochemical records valuab ...

Ecological and radioecological studies in the Columbia River Estuary and adjacent Pacific Ocean : progress report, 1 April 1975 through 31 March 1976

Holton, Robert L.; Pearcy, William G.; Cutshall, N. H.; McMechan, Karla J.; Oregon State University. School of Oceanography (Corvallis, Or. : School of Oceanography, Oregon State University, 1976-04)

This report represents the progress in "Ecological and Radioecological Studies in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific Ocean" for the period 1 April 1975 through 31 March 1976. This research has been suppor ...
Ecological dynamics in the subarctic Pacific, a possibly iron-limited ecosystem

Miller, Charles B.; Frost, Bruce W.; Wheeler, Patricia A.; Landry, Michael R.; Welschmeyer, Nicholas; Powell, Thomas M. (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 1991)

It has been suggested that production in offshore waters of the subarctic Pacific is limited by availability of dissolved Fe. Although that is not yet adequately established, the functional consequences of the limitation ...
Ecological studies in radioactivity in the Columbia River Estuary and adjacent Pacific Ocean : progress report 1 July 1972 through 31 March 1974

Oregon State University. School of Oceanography; Cutshall, N. H.; Carey, Andrew G.; Holton, Robert L.; Pearcy, William G.; Renfro, William C.; McMechan, Karla J. (Corvallis, Or. : Oregon State University, School of Oceanography, 1974-04)
Ecological studies of radioactivity in the Columbia River estuary and adjacent Pacific Ocean : progress report 1 April 1974 through 31 March 1975

Oregon State University. Dept. of Oceanography; Oregon State University. School of Oceanography; McMechan, Karla J.; Cutshall, N. H.; Pearcy, William G.; Holton, Robert L. (Corvallis, Or. : Oregon State University, Dept. of Oceanography, 1975-04)
Ecophysiological interpretation of oxygen consumption rates and enzymatic activities of deep-sea copepods

Thuesen, Erik V.; Miller, Charles B.; Childress, James J. (Inter-Research, 1998)

We measured oxygen consumption rates, the activities of citrate synthase (CS) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and protein contents for over 30 species of deep-sea pelagic Copepoda. The lowest oxygen consumption rates wer ...
Ecoregional Analysis of Nearshore Sea-Surface Temperature in the North Pacific

Payne, Meredith C.; Brown, Cheryl A.; Reusser, Deborah A.; Lee, Henry, II (Public Library of Science, 2012-01-11)

The quantification and description of sea surface temperature (SST) is critically important because it can influence the distribution, migration, and invasion of marine species; furthermore, SSTs are expected to be affec ...
Ecosystem Processes and Human Influences Regulate Streamflow Response to Climate Change at Long-Term Ecological Research Sites

Jones, Julia A.; Creed, Irena F.; Hatcher, Kendra L.; Warren, Robert J.; Adams, Mary Beth; Benson, Melinda H.; Boose, Emery; Brown, Warren A.; Campbell, John L.; Covich, Alan; Clow, David W.; Dahm, Clifford N.; Elder, Kelly; Ford, Chelcy R.; Grimm, Nancy B.; Henshaw, Donald L.; Larson, Kelli L.; Miles, Evan S.; Miles, Kathleen M.; Sebestyen, Stephen D.; Spargo, Adam T.; Stone, Asa B.; Vose, James M.; Williams, Mark W. (American Institute of Biological Sciences, 2012-04)

Analyses of long-term records at 35 headwater basins in the United States and Canada indicate that climate change effects on streamflow are not as clear as might be expected, perhaps because of ecosystem processes and hu ...
Ecosystem response to upwelling off the Oregon coast: Behavior of three nitrogen-based models

Spitz, Yvette; Newberger, Priscilla A.; Allen, John S. (American Geophysical Union, 2003-03-06)
