Oceanographic conditions around the Galápagos Archipelago and their influence on cetacean community structure

Creator:: Palacios, Daniel Mauricio
Abstract:: The objectives of this dissertation were to describe the complex oceanographic conditions around the Galápagos Archipelago (eastern equatorial Pacific), their seasonal variability, and their effects on patterns of cetacean occurrence. The physical and ecological factors leading to a plume of high phytoplankton biomass in the wake of the Galápagos were...

Hydrographic, chemical and optical observations from legs 4 and 5, YALOC-71

Creator:: Plank, William S., Anderson, James J. (James Jay), and Pak, Hasong
Abstract:: Hydrographic, chemical and optical data collected on legs 4 and 5 (November and December, 1971) of YALOC-71 in the vicinity of the Panama Basin are presented. The measurements were made for two purposes--to study the behavior of the Cromwell Current near the Galapagos Islands and to study the suspended particulate...

The role of herbivores and productivity on community structure of rocky shores of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Creator:: Vinueza, Luis R.
Abstract:: Ecosystems are facing increasing threats from human related activities, such as overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction, species invasions, and diseases, among others. While oceanic islands provide natural laboratories to understand ecological and evolutionary process, they are also particularly vulnerable to these impacts, given their usual isolation from the mainland and the...

Some aspects of currents in Long Island Sound

Creator:: Swanson, R. Lawrence (Robert Lawrence), 1938-
Abstract:: Current observations were obtained at three locations forming a cross section along 70°34'W longitude in Long Island Sound. Fifteen days of data were selected from each series so that nearly simultaneous observations were used in the analysis. Elementary statistics were computed for the data prior to performing a least squares...

Distribution and abundance of coastal fish and macro-invertebrates in the Galapagos Islands

Creator:: Figueroa, Diego
Abstract:: The Galapagos Islands, located off the coast of Ecuador, have a spatially diverse marine environment suitable for a variety of species with different climatic requirements. A year-long inventory program was carried out in 2000-2001 to provide baseline data on the abundances and distribution of coastal fish and macro-invertebrates. The purposes...

Zooplankton of the Galapagos Islands

Creator:: Figueroa, Diego
Abstract:: The marine climate of the Galapagos is spatially and seasonally heterogeneous. A taxonomically comprehensive study of Galapagos zooplankton has never been done. This study is an initial effort to establish the distribution and community structure of zooplankton in the Archipelago. I collected zooplankton samples by vertical tows over the Galapagos...

The effects of an isolated mesoscale island on a stably-stratified airstream

Creator:: Kim, Jinwon
Abstract:: The perturbation of a stably-stratified flow by irregular terrain is studied utilizing a seven-layer, hydrostatic, and potential enstrophy and energy conserving primitive equation model. The Island of Oahu, Hawaii, and the surrounding ocean area of 130 km x 100 km is chosen as the model topography. The domain is covered...

Magnetic profiles across the Aleutian Trench and ridge

Creator:: Skorpen, Allan Jerome
Abstract:: During the North Pacific cruise of the R/V Yaquina in 1966, total magnetic field intensity was measured in the Andreanof group of the Aleutian Islands. Three north-south track lines were made across the Aleutian Trench and ridge between longitudes 175° W and 180°. Three small scale magnetic profiles across the...
