Heat Flow along the Southern Costa Rica Margin : Insights on the Updip Limit of Seismicity

Creator:: Hass, Bridget M.
Abstract:: Heat flow analysis of the Costa Rica convergent margin is carried out for seven core sites drilled during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expeditions 334 and 344 as part of the Costa Rica Seismogenesis Project (CRISP). These expeditions were designed to develop a better understanding of erosional subduction zones. Heat...

Exploring the Relationships Between Stable Water Isotope Ratios and Large Scale Atmospheric Circulation in Paleoclimate Settings Using an Isotope-Enabled General Circulation Model

Creator:: Niezgoda, Kyle
Abstract:: Climate model simulations and paleoclimate proxies are two tools that enable an understanding of the climate history of the Earth. When utilized together, they form a powerful paradigm for understanding past changes. Proxies are the only physical link to the past conditions on Earth, and models “fill in the gaps”...

Coastal ocean variability inferred from high resolution models : two case studies

Creator:: Mauch, Matthew L.
Abstract:: In this thesis, high resolution ocean models are used to evaluate and forecast coastal ocean variability in two different applications. In the first study, the 2-km resolution ocean circulation model for the Eastern Bering Sea is utilized to understand whether slope-interior exchange along the path of the Aleutian North Slope...

Evaluating a Zonal-mean Hydrologic Model Against a Water Tag-enabled Global Simulation

Creator:: Mandovi, Andrew
Abstract:: The hydrologic cycle on Earth comprises the transitions among the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of water. Understanding the hydrologic cycle is of course important for climate science, but also for agricultural, drinking water, and disaster preparedness purposes. Improvements in satellite observations and general circulation models (GCMs) have led to...

Heat flow results from plate boundary observatory boreholes in California

Creator:: McDonald, Kyle Joseph
Abstract:: An integral component to understanding lithospheric rheology, fault mechanics, and geodynamic processes is knowledge of the subsurface thermal regime. This study presents thermal data from 26 new borehole sites drilled during the installation of borehole strain meters as part of the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO). These data extends existing coverage...

Optics, structure and variability of the offshore Columbia River plume

Creator:: Saldías, Gonzalo
Abstract:: The Columbia River delivers the greatest amount of freshwater to the coastal ocean along the U.S. Pacific coast. This freshwater forms the Columbia River plume, a mesoscale plume with significant implications on coastal ocean physical, biological, chemical, and geological processes. The plume is transported south and offshore during the upwelling...

The Occurrence of Coastal Sea Ice Leads and their Impact on the Beaufort Gyre

Creator:: Lewis, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Leads are long fractures wide enough for a ship to travel through the ice pack. Sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, whereas leads allow the transfer of heat and moisture between the two. Leads play a role for marine mammals and are hunting grounds...

Atmospheric and Sea Ice Circulation Patterns During Lead Formation at Point Barrow

Creator:: Jewell, MacKenzie E.
Abstract:: In winter and spring, ice-coast interactions driven by winds and ocean currents cause sea ice fractures (leads) to form repeatedly along Arctic coastlines. These events are often associated with rapid and expansive changes in sea ice drift and state that are challenging to predict and represent in models. We investigate...

Semidiurnal Atmospheric Tide Driven Superinertial Oscillation on the Texas-Louisiana Shelf

Creator:: Hsu, Fucent Hsuan Wei
Abstract:: Basin-scale superinertial oceanic tides have been observed globally to resonate with the continental shelf (e.g., the Patagonian Shelf) with a clear theoretical framework. However, the response of the shelf to atmospheric tides – another basin-scale forcing – has not been discussed. This study explores this response using a prominent S2...

Impact of Dansgaard-Oeschger and Heinrich Events on the Latitudinal Distribution of Methane Sources during Marine Isotope Stage 3

Creator:: Edwards, Jon S.
Abstract:: Understanding how the latitudinal distribution of methane sources changed between stadial and interstadial climate states during the last glacial period can provide important clues about how terrestrial hydroclimate and ecosystems evolved between these different states. The punctuation of the millennial-scale structure by Heinrich events is also of interest in this...
