Health risk of bathing in Southern California coastal waters

Creator:: Brinks, Mitchell V.
Abstract:: Bathers exposed to microbiological contamination in coastal waters have an excess risk of gastrointestinal and respiratory illness. The disease burden associated with this risk may be considerable in Southern California, where 50 million annual beach visitors recreate in coastal waters that receive billions of gallons of polluted discharges from nearby...

Ecological subsidies to rocky shore communities : setting the stage for community dynamics in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Krenz, Christopher
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the importance of pelagic subsidies in the Northeast Pacific to rocky shore community regulation. My results document the patterns of pelagic subsidy supply, determine if those subsidies are correlated with community structure, and examine if community regulation differs between areas of high- and low-subsidies. Understanding how...

Trophic dynamics of marine nekton and zooplankton in the Northern California Current ecosystem

Creator:: Miller, Todd William
Abstract:: The Northern California Current (NCC) ecosystem exhibits extreme seasonal, interannual and interdecadal shifts in the abiotic environment and shifts in primary and higher production. This variability is also apparent in the spatial structure of the ecosystem with nearshore-shelf waters (<150 m isobath) being highly productive and having a different community...

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...

Dietary responses of marine predators to variable oceanographic conditions in the Northern California Current

Creator:: Gladics, Amanda J.
Abstract:: Variable ocean conditions can greatly impact lower trophic level prey assemblages in marine ecosystems, with effects propagating up to higher trophic levels. Our goal was to better understand how varying ocean conditions influence diets and niche overlap among a suite of low- to mid trophic level predators. We studied the...

Radioanalysis of oceanic organisms in the Pacific Ocean off Oregon

Creator:: Osterberg, Charles L.
Abstract:: Our major effort since initiation of this contract has been directed toward (1) procuring the gamma-ray spectrometric equipment and integrating the components into an operational system, and (2) analyzing the samples obtained from the midwater trawl program of the Department of Oceanography and evaluating and interpreting the resulting data Analyses...

Radioanalysis of oceanic organisms in the Pacific Ocean off Oregon

Creator:: Osterberg, Charles L.
Abstract:: This report covers the first full year of operation of our gammaray spectrometry facility. A part of the contract period was devoted to calibration of the instrument, and therefore, a brief report on this procedure is included.

Bio-physical interactions of small pelagic fish schools and zooplankton prey in the California Current System over multiple scales

Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...
