Seismic ray trace techniques applied to the determination of crustal structures across the Peru continental margin and Nazca plate at 9 ̊S. latitude

Creator:: Jones, Paul Roy III
Abstract:: Seismic refraction, reflection and gravity data obtained across the Peru continental margin and Nazca Plate at 9° S. permit a detailed determination of crustal structure. Complex structures normal to the profile require the development of a ray trace technique to analyze first and later arrivals for eleven overlapping refraction lines....

An evaluation of the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) multispectral scanner as a tool for the determination of lacustrine trophic state

Creator:: Boland, Dale H. P.
Abstract:: This study evaluates the Earth Resources Technology Satellite- One (ERTS-1) multispectral scanner (MSS) as a means of predicting lacustrine trophic state and the magnitude of selected trophic state indicators. Numerical classificatory methods are employed to ascertain the trophic character of 100 lakes in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York using...

Crustal structures and tectonism in southeastern Alaska and western British Columbia from seismic refraction, seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic, and microearthquake measurements

Creator:: Johnson, Stephen Hans
Abstract:: Seismic refraction measurements along two unreversed lines indicate that the earth's crust is 26 km thick in southeastern Alaska and 30 km thick along the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The crust in southeastern Alaska, north of Dixon Entrance, consists of a layer 9 km thick with a seismic velocity...

An approach to thermal convection problems in geophysics with application to the earth's mantle and ground water systems

Creator:: Lowell, Robert P.
Abstract:: Two thermal convection problems of geophysical interest are examined, theoretically. First, convection in the earth's mantle is treated on the basis of a one-dimensional 'strip model'. This model results from further simplification of the well known 'Rayleigh model'. For homogeneous, Newtonian fluids, the strip model yields results similar to those...

Boundaries of research : civilian leadership, military funding, and the international network surrounding the development of numerical weather prediction in the United States

Creator:: Harper, Kristine C.
Abstract:: American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

Opening Pandora's Box at the Roof of the World : The Past and Present of Avian Influenza Science

Creator:: Canavan, Barbara C.
Abstract:: By means of a case study and historical analysis, this dissertation examines the past and present of avian influenza. By integrating disconnected histories of human and animal influenza, this dissertation links historical insights with the concerns of contemporary avian flu science. It is not only a natural history of avian...

Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

Creator:: Ellis, Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

The Science of Becoming Noble: Rationalizing Aristocracy through Diagrammatic Notations for Dance and Drill in the Age of Enlightenment

Creator:: Caulkins, Tamara L.
Abstract:: During the eighteenth century, diagrams increasingly became an important aspect of scientific inquiry. Diagrams employed simplification as a strategy for representing complex information, played a role in standardizing scientific language, and served as instruments of reason to think through and communicate problems and findings in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, natural...

A comparison of seismic properties of young and mature oceanic crust

Creator:: Bee, Michel
Abstract:: Seismic properties (P, S velocities and Poisson's ratio) of young (0.75 m.y.) and mature (110 m.y.) oceanic crust are obtained by studying explosive refraction data collected in the Pacific Ocean using ocean bottom and downhole seismometers. A comparison of the results for the two regions indicates that the upper crustal...
