Holocene and latest Pleistocene paleoceanography of the northeast Pacific and its relationship to climate change in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Sabin, Ann Louise
Abstract:: Northeast Pacific Ocean sediments were analyzed to determine the past relationship between northeast Pacific sea surface conditions and the climate on the adjacent continent, the Pacific Northwest of North America. Studies of modern ocean-atmosphere interactions demonstrate the significant effect sea surface conditions and atmospheric circulation in the Northeast Pacific Ocean...

Paleomagnetic inclination shallowing in deep-sea sediments

Creator:: Arason, Pórdur
Abstract:: In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions that are based on inclinations from deep-sea sediment cores. Progressive downcore shallowing of the remanent inclination was observed in a 120-m section of Plio- Pleistocene...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

Life-history organization of herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) in the northeast Pacific

Creator:: Aleaziz, Farzad
Abstract:: The distribution of herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) in the Northeast Pacific extends from southern California to northern Alaska. Studies on variation in herring life-history are limited to local characteristics and recruitment populations or relatively restricted regions of the Northeast Pacific. In this study I assessed herring life-history patterns and recruitment...

SEASOAR and CTD observations during EBC cruises W9306A and W9308B, June to September 1993

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Barth, John A., Fleischbein, Jane, Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, O'Malley, Robert T., Shearman, R. Kipp, and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: This report summarizes the Seasoar and CTD observations from Wecoma cruises W9306A (5 June to 12 July, 1993) and W9308B (14 August to 22 September 1993) conducted as part of the Eastern Boundary Currents Accelerated Research Initiative, under funding by the Office of Naval Research. The cruises were designed to...

Acoustic monitoring of earthquakes along the Blanco Transform Fault Zone and Gorda plate and their tectonic implications

Creator:: Dziak, Robert P.
Abstract:: Hydroacoustic tertiary (T-) waves are seismically generated acoustic waves that propagate over great distances in the ocean sound channel with little loss in signal strength. Hydrophone recorded T-waves can provide a lower earthquake detection threshold and an improved epicenter location accuracy for oceanic earthquakes than land-based seismic networks. Thus detection...

Millennial-scale surface and deep water oscillations in the N.E. Pacific : implications for late pleistocene climate change

Characterization of blue whale calls from the northeast Pacific and development of a matched filter to locate blue whales on the U.S. Navy SOSUS (SOund SUrveillance System) arrays

Creator:: Stafford, Kathleen Mary
Abstract:: Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) are the largest of the baleen whales. Blue whale calls were recorded off the coast of California in fall, 1993 and measured for frequency and time characteristics. On average, blue whale calls lasted 16 s, swept down from 18.9 to 17.3 Hz and were repeated every...
