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.

A seismic refraction study of the Monterey Deep Sea Fan and a comparison of velocity structures among fan subunits

Creator:: Dwan, Shufa F.
Abstract:: A deep source-receiver seismic refraction experiment was conducted on the upper part of the Monterey Deep Sea Fan. The aim of this thesis is to construct the velocity structure of the upper Monterey Fan and to examine the lateral seismic velocity variations among the upper, middle and lower fan subunits....
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: area, is the largest modern marine fan off the California coast. The fan lies between Monterey Bay

Sedimentary texture--a key to interpret deep-marine dynamics

Creator:: Allen, David William
Abstract:: The processes responsible for transporting and depositing thick sections of coarse-grained terrigenous clastics on the abyssal floor and for forming associated sedimentary structures are still conjectural. Many workers attribute coarse deep-sea sediments and their probable lithified equivalent, the graywackes of flysch deposits to some type of density movement. Deductions concerning...

Holocene sedimentation and potential placer deposits on the continental shelf off the Rogue River, Oregon

Creator:: Chambers, David Marshall
Abstract:: Changes in sea level during the past 20,000 years are recorded in sediments taken from the continental shelf off the Rogue River, Oregon. Sea level has risen approximately 125 m. during the Holocene (Curray, 1965) and the general transgression has been interrupted by several stillstands and minor regressions. Box core...

Sources, dispersal, and contributions of fine-grained terrigenous sediments on the Oregon and Washington continental slope

Creator:: Krissek, Lawrence A.
Abstract:: Holocene hemipelagic deposition of terrigenous silts and clays dominates sedimentation on most of the Oregon and Washington continental slope. The sources of these sediments, the mechanisms causing sediment dispersal, and the relative contributions of the various continental sources to the marine deposits have been investigated using quantitative mineral and geochemical...

Sediment textures and internal structures : a comparison between central Oregon continental shelf sediments and adjacent coastal sediments

Creator:: Roush, Robert Cornelius
Abstract:: A study of sedimentary structures and sediment texture of beach and continental shelf sediments provides a basis for the interpretation of the recent history of sedimentation on the Oregon continental shelf. The texture of various sediment types suggests that coastal rivers supply a considerable quantity of very fine sand in...

Calcium carbonate, organic carbon, and quartz in hemipelagic sediments off Oregon : a preliminary investigation

Creator:: Peterson, Robert E.
Abstract:: An analysis of the amounts of calcium carbonate, organic carbon, quartz, and the rates of sediment accumulation in hemipelagic sediments off Oregon has revealed that the accumulation rates of the total sediment, organic carbon, and quartz were at least twice as high in the late Pleistocene as they were during...

Species composition and distribution of marine nekton in the Pacific Ocean off Oregon

Creator:: Pearcy, William G. and Oregon State University. College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences
Abstract:: Knowledge of the pelagic organisms in vast areas of the open ocean is very limited. This is particularly true of the small nekton or swimming forms such as fishes, squid, prawns and euphausiids, which are important as intermediate animals in the food chain and are preyed upon by species such...
