  • A seasonal study of sediment reworking by Neotrypaea californiensis in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

    Creator:
    Fritz, Cara E.
    Abstract:
    A year-long field study was undertaken to investigate the influence of a number of physical and biological factors, specifically temperature, organic carbon content, and shrimp population dynamics on sediment reworking rates by the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea calforniensis. Because of its role as a structuring agent in estuaries along the West...

  • Utilization of natural and supplemental biofuels for harvesting energy from marine sediments

    Creator:
    Nielsen, Mark E.
    Abstract:
    A benthic microbial fuel cell (BMFC) is an electrochemical device that generates current from the redox gradient at the sediment-water interface. Early prototypes had anodes buried in anoxic sediments and cathodes in overlying water. The BMFCs described in this dissertation are based on a chamber design that enables the use...

  • Above and Below : Oregon Coastal Phytoplankton Bloom Dynamics from Sea and Space

    Creator:
    McKibben, S. Morgaine
    Abstract:
    Phytoplankton are a sentinel class of organisms in the marine environment. Through their photosynthetic activity in sunlit waters worldwide, phytoplankton shape the health and productivity of marine ecosystems and impact the global climate. In this work a range of ocean sensing technologies (via ships, surf zone sampling, moorings, gliders, and...
