Exploring the potential for using deep-sea bamboo corals (Isidella sp.) for paleoceanographic reconstructions

Creator:

Hornung, Jonathan P.

Abstract:

Deep-sea bamboo coral (Isidella sp.) SE000901A from the southern Oregon coast (water depth 1048m) provides a high-resolution record of variability of North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) and carbon rain to the sea floor, related to coastal upwelling, from 1808 to 2000AD. Counting of annual layers in magnesium to calcium (Mg/Ca)...

Particle size distributions and the vertical distribution of suspended matter in the upwelling region off Oregon

Creator:

Kitchen, James C.

Abstract:

Various methods of presenting and mathematically describing particle size distribution are explained and evaluated. The hyperbolic distribution is found to be the most practical but the more complex characteristic vector analysis is the most sensitive to changes in the shape of the particle size distributions. Particle size distribution, nutrient concentrations,...

Distribution, structure, and function of marine ecological communities in the northern California Current upwelling ecosystem

Creator:

Reese, Douglas Charles

Abstract:

Within systems characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variability, abundances of organisms tend to be higher in localized areas. Within the northern California Current system, the identification of such marine, biological hotspots would be of great importance to resource managers, conservationists, and research planners, and is consequently a growing area...
