An integral component to understanding lithospheric rheology, fault mechanics, and geodynamic processes is knowledge of the subsurface thermal regime. This study presents thermal data from 26 new borehole sites drilled during the installation of borehole strain meters as part of the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO). These data extends existing coverage...
Portions of Yellowstone Lake sit on top of a vigorous but not well understood hydrothermal system situated in a region of intense geologic and environmental forcings. A heat flow study conducted over the Stevenson Island Vent Field (SIVF), a vent field at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake underlain by an...

Portions of Yellowstone Lake sit on top of a vigorous but not well understood
This simulation is a model for a tidal power-peaking plant that
can be used to determine the electrical peaking generation for a given
set of conditions.
The simulation internally contains a tide producing function
for a specific year, the hydraulic characteristics of the plant, and the
plant's machines' characteristics. The...
Oögenesis in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
was studied by histological methods and by histochemical techniques
for polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids Urchins were
collected at Yaquina Head, Oregon at regular intervals between
April 1966 and March 1967. An attempt was made to correlate
seasonal variations in the coastal water...
The morphology of the dorsal neck organ of the brine shrimp
Artemia salina nauplius was investigated to determine its role(s)
during larval development.
Light and scanning electron microscopic studies show that the
neck organ is present in the pre-nauplius larval forms as early as
12 hours after hydration of the...
Heat flow analysis of the Costa Rica convergent margin is carried out for seven core sites drilled during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expeditions 334 and 344 as part of the Costa Rica Seismogenesis Project (CRISP). These expeditions were designed to develop a better understanding of erosional subduction zones. Heat...
Measuring surface heat flow at the Hikurangi Trough is key toward characterizing the local thermal regime and the influence of thermally sensitive processes such as fluid flow and slow slip. Marine heat flow data were collected during May– June 2015 in the northern Hikurangi Trough at sites seaward and landward...
Culturally based stereotypes are a pervasive force behind quick judgments about behavior, intent, and beliefs which allow individuals to interact efficiently to meet their own goals. Gender stereotypes are present in marketing media and servicescapes, where they define the behavior, needs, and wants of shoppers. The literature on consumer behavior...
Ultrastructural analysis and chemical inhibition studies were
carried out on first cleavage of Mytilus zygotes to determine possible
relationships between the mitotic apparatus and the cortex during
polar lobe formation.
The stages of mitosis correlated with the appearance of the
polar lobe were first determined by light microscopy. The polar...
The U.S Pacific Northwest contains a wide variety of ecosystems, all subject to relatively dry summers and wet winters. As has been shown with paleoclimatic and paleoecological data, the region is vulnerable to changes in climate. We assessed the sensitivities of vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes to 21st...
