The provenance and trace element signatures of MORB anorthitic plagioclase

Creator:: Burleigh, Andrew W.
Abstract:: In an attempt to understand the phase equilibria and petrogenesis of MORB anorthitic plagioclase, Cr-spinel commonly hosted within anorthitic plagioclase has been investigated petrographically and compositionally. Based on spinel-anorthite relationships from three samples of plagioclase ultra-phyric basalt (PUB; Southeast Indian Ridge, Axial Seamount and West Valley Segment, Juan de Fuca...

Helium isotope variations in peridotite, gabbro and basalt from the Kane Oceanic Core Complex

Creator:: Konrad, Kevin
Abstract:: The Kane Oceanic Core Complex (OCC) is a valuable window into crustal architecture and chemical composition of the lithosphere beneath a slow-spreading ocean ridge. A suite of > 30 samples (comprised of whole rocks, mineral separates and basalt glasses) has been analyzed for ³He/⁴He isotope ratios and He concentrations. Gas...

Microseismicity on the Gorda Ridge

Creator:: Solano-Borrego, Ariel E.
Abstract:: The seismicity at the northern section of the Gorda Ridge has been studied with Ocean Bottom Seismographs. Nearly one hundred earthquakes were located with RMS travel time residuals less than 0.5 seconds. Most of these events lie within or near the array and they are probably associated with the dynamics...

Buoy and satellite observation of wind induced surface heat exchange in the intraseasonal oscillation over West Pacific and Indian Ocean

Creator:: Araligidad, Nilesh
Abstract:: The importance of wind-driven latent heat fluxes for supporting tropical intraseasonal precipitation variability is analyzed. Tropical intraseasonal variability in the west pacific and Indian ocean is analyzed for northern and southern hemisphere summer during 1999-2005 using satellite and buoy observations. A composite analysis of QuikSCAT ocean vector winds and TRMM...

Two styles of oceanic near-ridge volcanism for the Southeast Indian Ocean and the NE Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Sprtel, Frank M.
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: -ridge volcanism is an integral component of a mid-ocean ridge system that defines the off-axis extent

Providing the best turbulent heat flux estimates from eddy correlation and bulk methods using DYNAMO data

Creator:: Marion, June Raven
Abstract:: In this thesis, data collected during the Dynamics of the Madden Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) field campaign, conducted in the Indian Ocean in Fall of 2011, is used to compute heat fluxes at the air-sea interface by evaluating eddy covariances and bulk aerodynamic formulae. Errors in daily average gridded fluxes computed...

Development, performance evaluation and application of a physical model of the Kenyan-Tanzanian coastal region

Creator:: Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela
Abstract:: A Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) application for the coastal region of Kenya and Tanzania (0-10° S, 38.7-46.98° E) was developed with the aim of better resolving the circulation patterns in the coastal region that is poorly represented in global models. The model has a horizontal resolution of 4 km,...

Relationship between tropical Atlantic Sea surface temperature variability and southern Indian Ocean tropical cyclones

Creator:: DeBlander, Evan F.
Abstract:: Recent studies have found that equatorial Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) variability may be influencing tropical Indian Ocean climate (Kucharski 2009, Wang 2009). Due to the economic and social impact of tropical cyclones, it is important to investigate how an Atlantic-Indian Ocean connection may be affecting tropical cyclone behavior in...
