Vertical distribution patterns of plankton and their relationship to physical factors over the continental shelf off Oregon

Creator:: Sutor, Malinda
Abstract:: Discrete layers of phytoplankton and zooplankton were observed over the Oregon continental shelf in summer and fall of 2001 and summer 2002 using optical and acoustical technologies and a pump sampling system. Layers of phytoplankton had steep vertical gradients which were associated with gradients in density and local peaks in...

Paleoclimate, paleoventilation, and paleomagnetism as recorded in a 17kyr marine sediment record from the SE Alaska margin

Creator:: Davies, Maureen Helen
Abstract:: The deglacial behavior of the sub-Arctic North Pacific is poorly constrained, with many published records suffering from limited age control due to extensive post- depositional biogenic carbonate dissolution. Potential alternative dating methods could include the correlation of stable-isotopic and/or paleomagnetic secular variation records to an independently-dated regional template, however no...

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...

The role of sulfur in the preservation of isoprenoid hydrocarbons in sedimentary materials of the Washington continental margin

Creator:: Pinto Alvarez, Luis A.
Abstract:: A systematic study of highly branched isoprenoids (HBI) was carried out in suspended particulate material (SPM) and Washington coastal sediments to determine their origin and fate. SPM collected at 10 m depth was filtered through Nitex membranes. C₂₅ HBI were found only in the 1.2-40 μm range over the shelf....

Sedimentary organic matter : distribution and alteration processes in the coastal upwelling region off Peru

Creator:: Reimers, Clare E.
Abstract:: Recent organic-rich deposits on the Peru continental margin occur along the upper slope (100-450 m) between about ll°S and 16°S and along the lower continental slope (>2000 m). The upper slope deposits reflect high biological production in response to coastal upwelling, but preservation of organic matter is enhanced by the...

The effects of thermodynamic parameterizations, ice shelf geometry, and tides on modeled basal melting of Weddell Sea ice shelves

Creator:: Mueller, Rachael D.
Abstract:: Antarctic Ice Sheet mass balance and, hence, sea level change is affected by the floating extensions of outlet glaciers and ice streams that take up about 44% of the coastline (Drewry et al., 1982) and are referred to as "ice shelves". Ice sheet mass loss accelerates when these ice shelves...
