Harbor dredging and benthic infauna : a case study

Creator:: Parr, Robert Alexander
Abstract:: This study of the immediate, localized effects of a small dredging operation on the benthic invertebrate community in the shipping channel of Coos Bay, Oregon, was designed: 1) to measure the extent of the physical removal of benthic macro- and meiofauna by hopper dredging; 2) to record the subsequent benthic...

Quantitative analysis of nearshore morphological variability based on video imaging

Creator:: Alexander, Patricia Soupy
Abstract:: In the past, classification systems for the analysis of morphodynamic variability have been developed in an attempt to understand large scale coastal behavior. The motivation behind the creation of these classification systems has been to provide a framework of analysis, in order to understand large scale response to seasonal variability,...

Development of a rare earth element paleoproxy

Creator:: Haley, Brian Alexander, 1973-
Abstract:: This thesis describes the development of a rare earth element (REE) proxy for paleoceanographic studies of climate change. This work was done in three stages with the goal: (1) To develop a cleaning method that overcomes the problems of REE readsorption; (2) To measure pore water REEs for evaluation of...

Nonlinear internal waves on the continental shelf

Creator:: Shroyer, Emily L.
Abstract:: The properties and evolution of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) depend upon the background conditions within which waves form, propagate, and dissipate. As a result, the NLIW field on the New Jersey shelf displayed dramatic variability during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment. Wave variability was exhibited by 1) amplitudes that ranged...

A turbulence model applied to the diurnal cycle

Creator:: Halliwell, Vicki M.
Abstract:: Under light wind conditions, the alternation of daytime heating and nighttime cooling creates a characteristic response in the oceanic boundary layer known as the diurnal cycle. The Mellor/Yamada Level II turbulence closure model is used to analyze this response pattern. The diurnal cycle has three phases. During morning and early...

Latitudinal distribution, calf growth and metabolism, and reproductive energetics of gray whales, Eschrichtius robustus

Creator:: Sumich, James L.
Abstract:: Gray whales accomplish an annual migration which spans as much as 50° of latitude in the northeast Pacific Ocean. This migration links their summer high latitude feeding grounds with winter calving and breeding areas. The purpose of this study was to determine how adult females apportion their stored lipid reserves...

Observations on the evolution of shoaling nonlinear internal waves in Massachusetts Bay using shipboard X-band radar

Creator:: Nelson, Brian G.
Abstract:: During four cruises in July and September of 2008 and 2009, the shipboard X-band radar was tuned to detect the modulated bands of surface roughness caused by converging and diverging currents associated with high-frequency nonlinear internal wave (NLIW) packets. The data collected was used to quantify the propagation direction (ϴp),...
