Development of satellite bloom detection products for coastal Oregon

Creator:

McKibben, S. Morgaine

Abstract:

Two bloom-detection products were developed for the Oregon coast that describe the relative percent change observed between successive pairs of 8-day chlorophyll-a (CHL) and fluorescence line-height (FLH) products obtained from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Aqua spacecraft (MODIS-Aqua). The CHL[subscript dev] and FLH[subscript dev] products, respectively, were optimized...

Masters Thesis
Silicon biogeochemistry in the open-ocean surface waters : insights from the Sargasso Sea and equatorial Pacific

Creator:

Krause, Jeffrey W.

Abstract:

Diatoms are a ubiquitous group of plankton responsible for 20-40% of oceanic primary production, and a higher fraction of organic matter export to the ocean interior. Diatoms actively transport dissolved inorganic silicon into their cells, and through the process of silicification (i.e. biogenic silica production) they build tough and intricate...
