An evaluation of the likelihood of successful implementation of the long term coral reef monitoring program on the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

Creator:: Kylstra, Pam
Abstract:: Coral reef ecosystems are the oceanic equivalent of tropical rainforests, in terms of biodiversity. The estimated 1,037,000 square kilometers worldwide of reef provide habitat for over one million species of plants and animals (Hinrichsen, 1997). Coral reefs are important to the economy of coastal nations because of the fisheries and...

Release and consumption of DMSP from Emiliania huxleyi during grazing by Oxyrrhis marina

Creator:: Wolfe, Gordon V., Sherr, Evelyn, and Sherr, Barry F.
Abstract:: Degradation and release to solution of intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) from Emiliania huxleyi 370 was observed during grazing by the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina in 24 h bottle incubations. Between 30 and 70 % of the lost algal DMSP was metabolized by the grazers without production of dimethylsulfide (DMS) when grazer...

Geochemical cycling in a Pacific Northwest estuary (Tillamook Bay, Oregon, USA)

Creator:: Colbert, Debbie L.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the behavior of major inorganic nutrients (P, N, Si), trace metals (Mn, Fe), and alkaline-earth metals (Ba) within Tillamook Bay over seasonal cycles and under a range of river discharge conditions from October 1997 through December 1999. Located in the Pacific Northwest region, Tillamook Bay is an...

The spectral backscattering properties of marine particles

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L.
Abstract:: The inherent and apparent optical properties of different ocean regimes are the basis for all optical remote sensing of the ocean. Ecological information derived from remote sensors therefore relies on having a detailed understanding of how particulate backscattering and absorption contribute to the bulk optical signal. The absorption characteristics of...

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...

The influence of early diagenesis on trace element and molybdenum isotope geochemistry

Creator:: Poulson, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the influence of early diagenesis on trace metal and molybdenum isotope behavior in marine and lacustrine environments. Chapter one is a synthesis of previous research in all the marine environments investigated, providing an essential geochemical context for interpreting the observed behavior of Mo in these settings. Chapter...

Geochronology of age-progressive volcanism of the Oregon High Lava Plains : implications for the plume interpretation of Yellowstone

Creator:: Jordan, Brennan T., Grunder, Anita L., Duncan, Robert A., and Deino, Alan L.
Abstract:: The High Lava Plains province (HLP) is a late Cenozoic bimodal volcanic field at the northern margin of the Basin and Range province in southeastern Oregon that hosts a westward younging trend of silicic volcanism that crudely mirrors northeastward migration of silicic volcanism along the Yellowstone–Snake River Plain (YSRP) trend....

An examination of the form and variability of manganese oxide in Columbia River suspended material

Creator:: Covert, Paul Allister
Abstract:: Suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Columbia River is a mixture of particles of several origins having varying physical and biogeochemical properties. The relative abundances of these freshwater particles changes with season and apparently also with tide. Prior investigation has quantified seasonal variation of organic material in both the Columbia...
