Reactions of the sea anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica, to electromagnetic radiations in the visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray ranges

Creator:

Clark, Ervil Delwyn

Abstract:

The behavioral repertoire of the sea anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica, was investigated to test for the occurrence of any immediate response to various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Monochromatic radiations in the visible and ultraviolet spectral regions were produced by a 150-watt xenon lamp or a ZOO watt mercury vapor lamp...

Transition metal and rare earth element fluxes at two sites in the eastern tropical Pacific : relationship to ferromanganese nodule genesis

Creator:

Murphy, Kim Marie

Abstract:

Transition metal and rare earth element (REE) data are presented for various sedimentary materials from two Manganese Nodule Program (MANOP) sites in the eastern tropical Pacific. These data constrain the sources of elemental supply to the seafloor and the processes that control ferromanganese nodule genesis. Investigation of elemental partitioning between...

Sources, dispersal, and contributions of fine-grained terrigenous sediments on the Oregon and Washington continental slope

Creator:

Krissek, Lawrence A.

Abstract:

Holocene hemipelagic deposition of terrigenous silts and clays dominates sedimentation on most of the Oregon and Washington continental slope. The sources of these sediments, the mechanisms causing sediment dispersal, and the relative contributions of the various continental sources to the marine deposits have been investigated using quantitative mineral and geochemical...
