Creator:: Honegger, David Andrew
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on two core aspects of remote sensing: (a) interpretation of the remotely sensed data to identify and characterize sea surface features of interest, and (b) the quantitative analysis of previously characterized features to produce robust estimates of geophysical variables. Specifically, these aspects are addressed in the context...

Creator:: Bryant, Douglas W. (Douglas Wesley)
Abstract:: Within the past several years the technology of high-throughput sequencing has transformed the study of biology by offering unprecedented access to life's fundamental building block, DNA. With this transformation's potential a host of brand-new challenges have emerged, many of which lend themselves to being solved through computational methods. From de...

Creator:: Cervantes, Brandy T.
Abstract:: The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...

Creator:: Hagelberg, Teresa King
Abstract:: Sedimentary sections recovered during the Deep Sea Drilling Project and the Ocean Drilling Program provide the opportunity to study the evolution of Neogene climate at high resolution overtime periods spanning millions of years. Two components of the paleodlimatic system, eastern equatorial Pacific carbonate sedimentation and global ice volume, were examined...

Creator:: Long, Joseph W.
Abstract:: The rip current field resulting from the transformation of surface gravity waves over offshore submarine canyons is studied. Employing a wave transformation model and a wave-induced circulation model over observed bathymetry we find that rip current circulation cells exist with alongshore spacing of O(1OOm) even though the nearshore bathymetry displayed...
