Characterization of organic matter quality and content in Columbia River suspended particulate matter by cupric oxide oxidation

Creator:

Alleau, Yvan M.

Abstract:

The organic content of the Columbia River suspended particulate matter (SPM) results from the input of autochthonous (phytoplankton) and allochthonous (terrestrial vascular plants) production. The contribution of these two sources appears seasonal and responds to factors such as rainfall, runoff, river flow, light and nutrients availability. While numerous studies have...

El Nino related variations in nutrient and chlorophyll distributions off Oregon

Creator:

Corwith, Holly L.

Abstract:

The Oregon continental shelf waters are typically characterized by four to five major upwelling events that occur between May and October. The upwelled water is rich in nutrients, which fuels an increase in phytoplankton biomass. The onset of El Nino, however, can disrupt the normal physical processes along the Oregon...
