Creator:: Russo, Christopher J.
Abstract:: This investigation focuses on gaining a better understanding of the complex relationship between melt generation, source variability and mid-ocean ridge morphology. The approach adopted here uses a variety of geochemical techniques to evaluate the ability of 'global' models to predict regional scale geochemical variability associated with axial depth and axial...

Creator:: Sours-Page, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Magmatic processes control the chemical compositions of all lavas erupted at mid-ocean ridges. In this thesis, I present studies of magmatic processes on three different mid-ocean ridges to determine which processes are in action and to what extent each has affected the chemistry of mid-ocean ridge basalts at each location....

Creator:: Araligidad, Nilesh
Abstract:: The importance of wind-driven latent heat fluxes for supporting tropical intraseasonal precipitation variability is analyzed. Tropical intraseasonal variability in the west pacific and Indian ocean is analyzed for northern and southern hemisphere summer during 1999-2005 using satellite and buoy observations. A composite analysis of QuikSCAT ocean vector winds and TRMM...

Creator:: Mason, Olivia Underwood
Abstract:: Oceanic crust covers nearly 70% of the Earth's surface, of which, the upper, sediment layer is estimated to harbor substantial microbial biomass. Marine crust; however, extends several kilometers beyond this surficial layer, and includes the basalt and gabbro layers. In particular, the basalt layer has high permeabilities which allows for...

Creator:: Meprasert, Somrudee
Abstract:: The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami raised concern among marine park managers and hazard mitigation professionals about the significant impact of major coastal hazards on marine park natural resources and ecosystems. The main reason for this concern is the strong linkage of marine parks and their rich assortment of ecosystem services...
