  • The distribution and partitioning of dissolved organic matter off the Oregon Coast : a first look

    Creator:
    Hill, Jon K.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first look at the spatial and temporal distributions of dissolved organic material (DOM) off the Oregon coast of North America. While this paper is not a comprehensive examination of these distributions, several patterns are identified as promising candidates for continued research....

  • Seconds to hour scale photosynthetic responses in marine microalgae

    Creator:
    Laney, Samuel R.
    Abstract:
    Our view of phytoplankton has historically revolved around their inability to control their location in space. The term phytoplankton itself underscores this particular difference between phytoplankton and their sessile terrestrial counterparts. Yet there are other differences between land plants and the phytoplankton that are perhaps equally important, beyond this sessile-planktonic...

  • Calanoid copepod diet in an upwelling system : phagotrophic protists vs. phytoplankton

    Creator:
    Fessenden, Lynne M.
    Abstract:
    Calanoid copepod diet was investigated in Oregon coastal waters to determine the trophic significance of phagotrophic protists as copepod prey within an ecosystem where the microplankton biomass is typically dominated by large diatoms. Prior to and during the 1991 upwelling season, clearance rates on phytoplankton and phagotrophic ciliates were measured...
