Defining habitat preferences of pelagic loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the North Atlantic through analysis of behavior and bycatch

Creator:

McCarthy, Abigail L.

Abstract:

For many species of marine turtle the characteristics that define pelagic habitat have yet to be fully identified. A better understanding of these habitat characteristics is critical to reduce high seas fisheries interactions with turtles, especially as the status of many turtle populations has placed them on the threatened or...

Impact of tropical instability waves on nutrient and chlorophyll distributions in the equatorial Pacific

Creator:

Evans, William Wiley

Abstract:

Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are prominent seasonal features in both the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This work quantifies their role in modulating the distributions of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass. Using an eight year record of biannual ship observations along the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, cruise sections crossing...
