Estimating Global ‘‘Blue Carbon’’ Emissions from Conversion and Degradation of Vegetated Coastal Ecosystems

Abstract:: Recent attention has focused on the high rates of annual carbon sequestration in vegetated coastal ecosystems—marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses—that may be lost with habitat destruction (‘conversion’). Relatively unappreciated, however, is that conversion of these coastal ecosystems also impacts very large pools of previously-sequestered carbon. Residing mostly in sediments, this ‘blue...

Albacore oceanography off Oregon : 1970

Creator:: Pearcy, William G.
Abstract:: During July 1970, albacore boats trolling surface jigs (jig boats) had record catches in an area off the mouth of the Columbia River. The jig fishery declined suddenly in late July and was poor throughout the remainder of the summer. No obvious oceanographic changes were correlated with these drastic changes...

Origin of minor and trace element compositional diversity in anorthitic feldspar phenocrysts and melt inclusions from the Juan de Fuca Ridge

Creator:: Adams, David T., Nielsen, Roger L., Kent, Adam J. R., and Tepley, Frank J., III
Abstract:: Melt inclusions trapped in phenocryst phases are important primarily due to their potential of preserving a significant proportion of the diversity of magma composition prior to modification of the parent magma array during transport through the crust. The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of formational and...

Ecoregional Analysis of Nearshore Sea-Surface Temperature in the North Pacific

Creator:: Payne, Meredith C., Brown, Cheryl A., Reusser, Deborah A., and Lee, Henry, II
Abstract:: The quantification and description of sea surface temperature (SST) is critically important because it can influence the distribution, migration, and invasion of marine species; furthermore, SSTs are expected to be affected by climate change. To better understand present temperature regimes, we assembled a 29-year nearshore time series of mean monthly...

Integration of submersible transect data and high-resolution multibeam sonar imagery for a habitat-based groundfish assessment of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Nasby-Lucas, Nicole M., Embley, Bob W., Hixon, Mark A., Merle, Susan G., Tissot, Brian N., and Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: In the face of dramatic declines in groundfish populations and a lack of sufficient stock assessment information, a need has arisen for new methods of assessing groundfish populations. We describe the integration of seafloor transect data gathered by a manned submersible with high-resolution sonar imagery to produce a habitat- based...

Fish-habitat associations on a deep reef at the edge of the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:: Tissot, Brian N., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Barss, William, and Stein, David L.
Abstract:: Heceta Bank is a large reef on the edge of the central Oregon continental shelf that supports a wide variety of commercial fisheries. Using the research submersible Delta, we studied fish abundances on Heceta Bank and the relationship between species composition of fish assemblages and bottom types. Cluster analysis indicated...

Comparison of submersible-survey and hydroacoustic-survey estimates of fish density on a rocky bank

Creator:: Starr, Richard M., Fox, David S., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Tissot, Brian N., Johnson, Gary E., and Barss, William H.
Abstract:: Submersible belt-transect surveys along a rocky bottom were combined with acoustic surveys of the water column to estimate depth distribution and density of fishes at Stonewall Bank, Oregon in the northeastern Pacific Ocean from September through October 1991. The objectives of the study were to determine the proportion of fish...

Submersible observations of deep-reef fishes of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Pearcy, William G., Stein, David L., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Pikitch, Ellen K., Barss, William H., and Starr, Richard M.
Abstract:: Rockfishes, Sebastes spp.. were the most numerous and speciose fishes seen during 16 submersible dives from 64 to 305 m depth in the vicinity of Heceta Bank off the coast of Oregon. Dense schools of juvenile rockfishes and large yellowtail rockfish, S. flavidus, were observed only over rocky, high relief...
