Statistical distribution of swash maxima on natural beaches

Creator:: Holland, K. Todd
Abstract:: Beach response to overwash processes is a topic of significant importance. Two particular aspects of this topic were chosen for detailed analysis: the distribution of maximum wave runup elevations and the cross-beach celerity gradient of overwash bores on natural beaches. Data were collected using both traditional nearshore instrumentation and recently...

The Carnegie Ridge near 86⁰ W. : structure, sedimentation and near bottom observations

Creator:: Malfait, Bruce Terry
Abstract:: The Carnegie Ridge is a linear, aseismic, submarine ridge lying between the Galapagos Islands and the coast of South America. A 2300 meter deep saddle near 86°W. longitude divides the ridge into western and eastern segments. Surface ship, near bottom, and grain size studies from the saddle have been used...

Sources, dispersal, and contributions of fine-grained terrigenous sediments on the Oregon and Washington continental slope

Creator:: Krissek, Lawrence A.
Abstract:: Holocene hemipelagic deposition of terrigenous silts and clays dominates sedimentation on most of the Oregon and Washington continental slope. The sources of these sediments, the mechanisms causing sediment dispersal, and the relative contributions of the various continental sources to the marine deposits have been investigated using quantitative mineral and geochemical...

A model of wind-forced viscous circulation near coastal boundaries

Creator:: Spillane, Michael Cornelius
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: diffusivity has been ignored. This is valid over shelves of gentle slope (Allen, 1980), but is inappropriate

Sea surface height and geostrophic velocity variability in the California current system as observed from the TOPEX altimeter

Creator:: Righi, Dylan D.
Abstract:: Eight years (1994-2000) of data from the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter are used to investigate the variability of the sea surface height and geostrophic velocity of the California Current system. The TOPEX/Posiedon satellite measures SSH along an exact-repeat set of groundtracks with a 10-day repeat cycle. In the domain studied here...

The flow mechanics and resulting erosional and depositional features of explosive volcanic density currents on earth and Mars

Creator:: Reimers, Clare E.
Abstract:: Straight, radial, erosional channels and fan-like deposits of tephra develop around steep-sided cones and composite volcanoes, but are not characteristic features of shield volcanoes. The channels and deposits normally are formed by explosive volcanic density currents which originate as nuées adrentes or base surges. The physical processes of explosive volcanic...

Geology of the continental terrace off the central coast of Oregon

Creator:: Maloney, Neil Joseph
Abstract:: The continental terrace west of Oregon between 43° 50'N and 44° 40' N latitude is 50 to 55 miles wide. It consists of a continental shelf, 16 to 35 miles wide, and a continental slope, 16 to 37 miles wide. The eastern portion of the shelf is a smooth, sediment...
