We present two profiles of collocated single-channel seismic reflection and heat flow determinations across Hawaiian flexural moat: one north of Oahu and the other north of Maro Reef. Seismic reflection data are used as an aid in determining depth to basement and interpreting moat stratigraphy. Moat sediments are locally up...
We perform numerical simulations of buoyancy-driven, pore fluid flow in the
Hawaiian archipelagic apron and underlying oceanic crust in order to determine the extent to
which heat redistributed by such flow might cause conductive heat flow measurements to
underrepresent the true mantle heat flux. We also seek an understanding of...
The report begins with a brief discussion of certain aspects of the production and consumption of Pacific Coast salmon. This is followed by a description of some structural characteristics of the market for canned salmon. The next section of the report reviews some of the earlier work on demand for...
Fusarium crown rot (FCR) is one of the most widespread root and
crown diseases of wheat in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United
States. Our objectives were to characterize crown rot severity and
distribution throughout the PNW by conducting a survey of 210 fields
covering the diverse dryland wheat-producing...
Meta-analyses of field studies have shown that biomass, density, species richness, and size of organisms protected by no-take marine reserves generally increase over time. The magnitude and timing of changes in these response variables, however, vary greatly and depend upon the taxonomic groups protected, size and type of reserve, oceanographic...
