Diffuse deformation patterns along the North American plate boundary zone, offshore western United States

Creator:: Chaytor, Jason D.
Abstract:: Plate boundaries are commonly regions of complex, diffuse deformation with the motion across the boundary accommodated by numerous structural systems, rather than being narrow, discrete zones of deformation. One such boundary occurs where the North American plate makes contact with Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and Pacific plates along the west...

Paleomagnetic inclination shallowing in deep-sea sediments

Creator:: Arason, Pórdur
Abstract:: In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions that are based on inclinations from deep-sea sediment cores. Progressive downcore shallowing of the remanent inclination was observed in a 120-m section of Plio- Pleistocene...

The response of Oregon shelf waters to wind fluctuations : differences and the transition between winter and summer

Creator:: Sobey, Edwin J. C., 1948-
Abstract:: The physical characteristics of continental shelf waters off Oregon during late winter and spring of 1975 are described and compared with observations taken previously during summer. The currents in winter are barotropic in the monthly means while in summer the currents are baroclinic. Alongshore current fluctuations on the time scale...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

The linear and non-linear baroclinic instability in the eastern North Pacific

Creator:: Lee, Dong-kyu
Abstract:: Using a linear quasi-geostrophic model of large scale spiraling flow and vertical density gradient in the eastern North Pacific, we evaluate the complex dispersion relationships for quasi-geostrophic waves. Our calculations indicate that the geostrophic circulation of the eastern North Pacific can locally convert potential energy to mesoscale kinetic energy on...

Life-history organization of herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) in the northeast Pacific

Creator:: Aleaziz, Farzad
Abstract:: The distribution of herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) in the Northeast Pacific extends from southern California to northern Alaska. Studies on variation in herring life-history are limited to local characteristics and recruitment populations or relatively restricted regions of the Northeast Pacific. In this study I assessed herring life-history patterns and recruitment...

Acoustic monitoring of earthquakes along the Blanco Transform Fault Zone and Gorda plate and their tectonic implications

Creator:: Dziak, Robert P.
Abstract:: Hydroacoustic tertiary (T-) waves are seismically generated acoustic waves that propagate over great distances in the ocean sound channel with little loss in signal strength. Hydrophone recorded T-waves can provide a lower earthquake detection threshold and an improved epicenter location accuracy for oceanic earthquakes than land-based seismic networks. Thus detection...
