The portion of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) between 5° and 12°S
can be subdivided into three areas by fracture zones that offset the
rise axis at about 6.5°S and 9°S. In all three regions, the spreading
axis of the EPR is defined by a topographic block 300 to 350...

The effects on the temperature microstructure of terrestrial heat flow and heat flow anomalies at the ocean floor are discussed on the basis of a simple heat diffusion model. The effects on the temperature microstructure of layering of the thermal properties of the ocean are investigated. This is done both...
In this thesis, the interpretation and reduction of ocean heat
flow measurements are discussed on the basis of theoretical models.
The instrument effect x heat flow measurements is investigated for the
case of long period measurements by studying the heat conduction
along the measurement probe for both steady and unsteady...
Magnetic, gravity and bathymetry data were collected on an extended
cruise of the R/V Yaquina in 1969. The last set of data was obtained
from those track lines leaving the Panama Basin. The area
covered is mainly the Cocos plate (Molnar and Sykes, 1969). The data
is analyzed and compared...
Detailed current profiles between the sediment-water interface
and 20 cm above it reveal a viscous sublayer in the bottom boundary
layer on the Oregon continental shelf. Data from three field experiments
are used to test fundamental assumptions about boundary layer
flow in the ocean. The first study, discussed in Chapter...
