Masters Thesis
Planktic foraminifers of the California Current at 42°N : last glacial maximum and present

Creator:

Ortiz, Joseph D.

Abstract:

MOCNESS plankton tows, sediment traps and sedimentary material are used to determine the linkage between bio-physical forcing and foraminiferal response over a range of time scales from the event scale to the glacial interglacial cycle. The annually averaged planktic foraminiferal fauna of the modem California Current is a diverse community...

Sediment accumulation and human impacts in Tillamook Bay, Oregon

Creator:

Styllas, Michael N.

Masters Thesis
Modern and past climate variability in the eastern Pacific warm pool

Creator:

Benway, Heather M.

Abstract:

Westward transport of water vapor across the Panama Isthmus helps to maintain the salinity contrast between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, important in thermohaline circulation and global climate. Relatively low sea-surface salinities and a strong, shallow pycnocline in the eastern Pacific warm pool (EPWP) region near Central America reflect high...
