  • Seconds to hour scale photosynthetic responses in marine microalgae

    Creator:
    Laney, Samuel R.
    Abstract:
    Our view of phytoplankton has historically revolved around their inability to control their location in space. The term phytoplankton itself underscores this particular difference between phytoplankton and their sessile terrestrial counterparts. Yet there are other differences between land plants and the phytoplankton that are perhaps equally important, beyond this sessile-planktonic...

  • Physical-biological interactions in the Southern Ocean

    Creator:
    Moore, Jefferson Keith
    Abstract:
    Physical-biological interactions in the Southern Ocean were investigated using remote sensing data from several different satellite sensors. Satellite sea surface temperature data were used to study the dynamics of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF). Satellite ocean color data were used to estimate surface chlorophyll concentrations and their relation to various...

  • Untangling the complexity of nearshore ecosystems : examining issues of scaling and variability in benthic communities

    Creator:
    Schoch, G. Carl
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to improve our understanding of how changes in the environment affect ecological processes. Change detection is often confounded by the large variation found in ecological data due to the difficulty of finding replicates in nature. Intertidal communities were chosen for studies of biophysical interactions...
