Diversity and similarity of benthic fauna off Oregon

Creator:: Stander, Jeffrey M.
Abstract:: Samples of benthic organisms off the coast of Oregon, taken from depths varying from 50 to 2900 meters, have been analyzed in terms of diversity at a given station, and similarity and ecological distance to other stations. Estimates of epifauna abundance were also made. In the analysis an important distinction...

Silicon biogeochemistry in the open-ocean surface waters : insights from the Sargasso Sea and equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Krause, Jeffrey W.
Abstract:: Diatoms are a ubiquitous group of plankton responsible for 20-40% of oceanic primary production, and a higher fraction of organic matter export to the ocean interior. Diatoms actively transport dissolved inorganic silicon into their cells, and through the process of silicification (i.e. biogenic silica production) they build tough and intricate...

Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

Creator:: Early, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...

Investigating Plate Boundaries through New High-Resolution Bathymetry and Seismic Data; 2 Case Studies from the Cascadia Subduction Zone and San Andreas Fault

Creator:: Beeson, Jeffrey Watson
Abstract:: Contiential margins on plate boundaries are complex systems with morphologies and characteristics dictated by the interplay of sediment deposition and erosion, tectonic faulting, folding, and strong ground motion generating mass wasting events. With ever increasing advances in high-resolution remote sensing techniques these systems are increasingly becoming illuminated. A ~120 km...

Development of satellite bloom detection products for coastal Oregon

Creator:: McKibben, S. Morgaine
Abstract:: Two bloom-detection products were developed for the Oregon coast that describe the relative percent change observed between successive pairs of 8-day chlorophyll-a (CHL) and fluorescence line-height (FLH) products obtained from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Aqua spacecraft (MODIS-Aqua). The CHL[subscript dev] and FLH[subscript dev] products, respectively, were optimized...

Analysis of the benthic Cumacea and Gammaridean Amphipoda from the western Beaufort Sea

Creator:: Castillo Alarcon, Jorge Gonzalo
Abstract:: A multidisciplinary western Beaufort Sea Ecological Cruise (WEBSEC) was conducted from August 15 to September 20, 1971. During the cruise, one hundred ninety-nine 0.1 m² Smith-McIntyre grabs samples were taken at forty stations located on the continental shelf and slope of the western Beaufort Sea. The Gammaridean Amphipoda and Cumacea...

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....
