High-resolution sampling of particulate organic carbon in a coastal upwelling system

Creator:

Holser, Rachel R.

Abstract:

Summertime, wind-driven upwelling off the Oregon coast delivers nutrient rich water to the surface that fuels the autotrophic production of particulate organic carbon (POC). This POC can be transported horizontally by fluid motions and vertically by sinking to the bottom where it can be entrained in the benthic boundary layer...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Rachel R. Holser
Differentiating freshwater contributions and their variability to the surface and halocline layers of the Arctic and subarctic seas

Creator:

Alkire, Matthew Buckley

Abstract:

Dramatic and ongoing changes pervading the Arctic and subarctic seas over recent decades have motivated this effort to track and better understand hydrographic variability using chemical tracers. Particular emphasis has been paid to differentiating freshwater contributions to upper layers: namely Pacific water, meteoric water, and sea-ice melt/formation. Data collected in...
