Vertical Structure of the Lower Troposphere in a Changing Arctic

Creator:: Watkins, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The Arctic climate system is changing dramatically as a response to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Key indicators of Arctic change include thinning and retreating of Arctic pack ice, thawing permafrost, greening tundra, and rising surface temperatures. The structure of the atmospheric boundary layer influences and is influenced by processes...

Understanding the Contribution of a Seafood Processing Sector to Community Resilience: The Case of Tillamook County

Creator:: Beaullieu, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Seafood processing is a sector of the seafood supply chain in which individuals and communities along Oregon’s coast rely on for food, livelihood, economic, and cultural relationships. Many coastal resilience studies focus on the seafood harvest (fishing) communities leaving the seafood processing sector relatively understudied. The objective of this thesis...

Horizontal Variability of Internal Waves and Tides: Seafloor Pressure Measurements and Idealized Resonant Modes

Creator:: Thomas, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Internal waves and tides are a dominant source of current variability, and they are intermittent and hard to predict. Internal waves can have significant variability in alongshore structure. However, previous studies on internal waves have focused primarily on their cross-shore structure and propagation. For example, while alongshore-propagating superinertial internal tides...

Enhancing Small Sample Foraminifera Analysis through Innovative Mass Spectrometry Techniques: A Pathway to Deeper Paleoceanographic Insights

Creator:: Meyer, Grace
Abstract:: Stable oxygen and stable carbon isotopes of foraminifera are widely applied in paleoceanographic reconstructions. Oxygen and carbon isotopes are typically measured using pooled sample analysis (i.e., the combination of several shells) or single-shell analysis (typically restricted to heavier shells that weigh above 10 µg). With pooled sample analysis, where many...

A New Record of Planktic Foraminifera Community Response to Marine Heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: M. Kelsey Lane
Abstract:: Marine heat waves are forecasted to increase in frequency and intensity under future climate scenarios, but little is known about the impact of these events on the one of the most commonly used proxies of ocean temperature - foraminiferal assemblages. This research explores the planktic foraminifera community along the Newport...

New Foraminifera-Based Proxies to Trace Changes to the Organic and Inorganic Carbon System Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Creator:: Fritz-Endres, Theresa
Abstract:: The production of carbon and export to deep ocean sediments is linked to carbon partitioning between the ocean and atmosphere and is a key driver of climate change over the glacial-interglacial transition. Yet conflicting reconstructions create barriers to understanding changes to the carbon system over this important climate transition. Production...

The Occurrence of Coastal Sea Ice Leads and their Impact on the Beaufort Gyre

Creator:: Lewis, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Leads are long fractures wide enough for a ship to travel through the ice pack. Sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, whereas leads allow the transfer of heat and moisture between the two. Leads play a role for marine mammals and are hunting grounds...

Atmospheric and Sea Ice Circulation Patterns During Lead Formation at Point Barrow

Creator:: Jewell, MacKenzie E.
Abstract:: In winter and spring, ice-coast interactions driven by winds and ocean currents cause sea ice fractures (leads) to form repeatedly along Arctic coastlines. These events are often associated with rapid and expansive changes in sea ice drift and state that are challenging to predict and represent in models. We investigate...

Particulate Trace Metal Fluxes in the Western Arabian Sea and Their Links to Marine Productivity

Creator:: Flannery, Kelly M.
Abstract:: Many trace elements (e.g., Zn, Cd, Mo) are essential phytoplankton micronutrients, making them crucial to the marine ecosystem and ultimately the carbon cycle. Because of this association trace metals are also utilized in paleoceanographic studies (e.g., Mo, Cd). However, not much is known about what controls the cycling of these...

An Exploratory Study on Family Group Use of a Multi-touch Table Exhibit at a Public Marine Science Center

Creator:: East, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Museums, aquariums, and technology centers are informal learning environments that facilitate the understanding of scientific phenomena while supporting self-motivated learning. Families are a social group that frequently visits these sites. There are multiple opportunities for adults and children to engage in independent sense-making and collective discussion about their experiences with...
