On the abyssal temperatures of the world oceans

Creator:: Olson, Boyd Ellertson
Abstract:: In comparison with solar radiation, the energy of geothermal heat flowing through the sea bottom is extremely small; nevertheless, this energy is not insignificant in the circulation of the bottom water. Calculations indicate that in the deep basins of the South Atlantic the water volume transport necessary to remove this...

Geomicrobiology of marine sediment containing methane

Creator:: Briggs, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Marine sediments contain an abundance of methane that is biologically produced and plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Microbes responsible for the carbon cycle in marine sediments, and the processes that they carry out, need to be characterized in order to fully understand the role of this...

The Costa Rica Dome : a study of physics, zooplankton and blue whales

Creator:: Matteson, Robyn S.
Abstract:: At the Costa Rica Dome (CRD), upwelling associated with cyclonic circulation and the presence of a shallow thermocline support a highly productive biological habitat, exploited by marine fauna at several trophic levels. During January 2008, a cruise to the CRD by the R/V Pacific Storm was conducted to relocate blue...

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...

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...

Horizontal and vertical distribution of juvenile pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in the southeastern Bering Sea

Creator:: McIntosh, Neal E.
Abstract:: Juvenile walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) are one of the primary prey items for bird and mammal predators in the Bering Sea and support a large commercial fishery. An understanding of the environmental factors that determine the horizontal and vertical distribution of juvenile pollock is needed to estimate the effects that...

Food habits, dietary overlap and gastric evacuation rates of rockfishes (genus Sebastes)

Creator:: Brodeur, Richard D.
Abstract:: Euphausiids constituted the major food of five co-occuring species of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.). Copepods, decapods, cephalopods, amphipods, fishes and other pelagic prey were also consumed but were less important to the overall diet. Two species, S. flavidus and S. diploproa, were relatively euryphagous, utilizing a high number of prey taxa....

Swimbladder morphology and buoyancy of Northeastern Pacific myctophids

Creator:: Butler, John Lawton
Abstract:: Of the common adult lanternfishes found off Oregon, two species have fat-invested swimbladders (Stenobrachius leucopsarus Eigenmann and Eigenmann 1890 and Stenobrachius nannochir Gilbert 1891), two species have reduced swimbladders (Lampanyctus ritteri Gilbert 1915 and Lampanyctus galis Gilbert 1891), two species have gas-filled swimbladders ((Protomyctophum thomp soni (Chapman 1944)) and (Protomyctophum...

An investigation into nitrogen uptake by Emilania huxleyi during continuous darkness

Creator:: Royer, Ida M.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted with two strains of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi. Previous experiments with CCMP1742 and 372 at a light intensity of 60 µEin/m²-s showed that during five-day periods of continuous darkness, strain 1742 was taking up nitrate from the media while strain 372 was not. The nitrate uptake in...
