Quantifying linear disturbance growth in periodic and aperiodic systems

Creator:: Wolfe, Christopher Lee
Abstract:: The mathematical and physical connections between three different ways of quantifying linear predictability in geophysical fluid systems are studied in a series of analytical and numerical models. Normal modes, as they are traditionally formulated in the instabilities theories of geophysical fluid dynamics, characterize the asymptotic development of disturbances to stationary...

A seasonal study of sediment reworking by Neotrypaea californiensis in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Fritz, Cara E.
Abstract:: A year-long field study was undertaken to investigate the influence of a number of physical and biological factors, specifically temperature, organic carbon content, and shrimp population dynamics on sediment reworking rates by the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea calforniensis. Because of its role as a structuring agent in estuaries along the West...

Submarine plateau volcanism and Cretaceous Ocean Anoxic Event 1a : geochemical evidence from Aptian sedimentary sections

Creator:: Walczak, Paul S.
Abstract:: Marine sediments exceptionally rich in organic carbon, known as black shales, occur globally but intermittently in well correlated Cretaceous successions. The presence of black shales indicates that sporadic, ocean-wide interruption of normal respiration of marine organic matter during oxygen-deficient conditions has occurred. Submarine volcanism on a massive scale, related to...

Methane sources, fluid flow, and diagenesis along the northern Cascadia Margin; using authigenic carbonates and pore waters to link modern fluid flow to the past

Creator:: Joseph, Craig E.
Abstract:: Methane derived authigenic carbonate (MDAC) precipitation occurs within marine sediments as a byproduct of the microbial anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM). While these carbonates form in chemical and isotopic equilibrium with the fluids from which they precipitate, burial diagenesis and recrystallization can overprint these signals. Plane polarized light (PPL) and...

Application of transport-reaction modeling to constrain biogeochemical processes in marine sediments

Creator:: Hong, Wei-Li
Abstract:: Quantifying the mass transport through marine sediments, and the geochemical response to such flow with numerical models has become a common and powerful approach for geochemical data interpretation. In this dissertation, I developed and applied transport-reaction models to unravel complex and interdependent reactions involving carbon, sulfur and silica transformations in...

Modeling Transport, Retention, and Growth of Early Life Stages of Small Pelagic Fishes in the Southern Humboldt System

Creator:: Gomez, Fabian A.
Abstract:: Small pelagic fishes (SPF), such as anchovies and sardines, are ecologically important due to their large abundance and intermediate trophic position that links plankton production to upper trophic levels. They are also economically important, supporting large fisheries that contribute to one fourth of the world fish landings. Reproductive success in...

Understanding the anodic mechanism of a seafloor fuel cell

Creator:: Ryckelynck, Natacha
Abstract:: Anoxic sediment overlain by oxic seawater establishes a voltage gradient on the order of 0.7-0.8V across the sediment-water interface. This study follows Reimers et al. (2001) and Tender et al. (2002) who reported the development of a seafloor fuel cell to harvest electrical energy from this potential difference. Prototype fuel...
