Impact of tropical instability waves on nutrient and chlorophyll distributions in the equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Evans, William Wiley
Abstract:: Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are prominent seasonal features in both the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This work quantifies their role in modulating the distributions of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass. Using an eight year record of biannual ship observations along the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, cruise sections crossing...

Satellite observations of the inﬂuence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface temperature, phytoplankton and surface stress

Creator:: Gaube, Peter
Abstract:: The influence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface ocean temperature, surface stress and phytoplankton communities is investigated by collocating numerous satellite measurements along with vertical profiles of oceanic temperature and salinity to the interiors of eddies identified and tracked in altimetric sea surface height maps. The surface currents associated with...

Sea-air CO₂ flux variability on the northeast Pacific continental margin

Creator:: Evans, Wiley
Abstract:: Carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes between the ocean and atmosphere on continental margins are difficult to diagnose because these regions experience large variability over spatial and temporal scales spanning meters to basins and hours to years, respectively. In a global sense, continental margins could represent a significant atmospheric CO₂ sink, equivalent...

Iron links river runoff and shelf width to phytoplankton biomass along the U.S. West Coast

Creator:: Chase, Zanna, Strutton, Peter G., and Hales, Burke
Abstract:: A poleward increase in phytoplankton biomass along the West Coast of North America has been attributed to increasing river runoff towards the north. We combine streamflow and shelf width data with satellite-derived estimates of phytoplankton biomass to quantify the relationship between these variables. We find that a combination of winter...

Seasonal cycle of surface ocean pCO₂ on the Oregon shelf

Creator:: Evans, Wiley, Hales, Burke, and Strutton, Peter G.
Abstract:: Previous work has shown that the Oregon shelf is a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) during the upwelling season; however, until now, summertime variability in CO₂ exchange and sign of the flux for the rest of the year were unknown. Observations of the partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂) in...

Characterization of physiological resistance to white mold and search for molecular markers linked to resistance via advanced backcross QTL analysis in an interspecific cross between Phaseolus coccineus and P. vulgaris

Creator:: Haggard, Jack Erron
Abstract:: White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, results in severe losses in the production of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, especially snap bean varieties. Advanced backcross QTL analysis was used to identify quantitative trait loci for resistance to white mold in an interspecific cross of P. vulgaris and P....

Development of satellite bloom detection products for coastal Oregon

Creator:: McKibben, S. Morgaine
Abstract:: Two bloom-detection products were developed for the Oregon coast that describe the relative percent change observed between successive pairs of 8-day chlorophyll-a (CHL) and fluorescence line-height (FLH) products obtained from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Aqua spacecraft (MODIS-Aqua). The CHL[subscript dev] and FLH[subscript dev] products, respectively, were optimized...

Gorsevski, Peter MS.pdf

Creator:: Gorsevski, Peter (Pece) V.
Abstract:: This thesis presents the idea for FORIN (Forest Roads Inventory), a computerized forest roads inventory system. FORIN is a tool to more efficiently inventory and manage information of forest roads. FORIN is intended for use by field personnel, who will use pen-based computers to improve productivity, accuracy of inventories, to...

Silicon biogeochemistry in the open-ocean surface waters : insights from the Sargasso Sea and equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Krause, Jeffrey W.
Abstract:: Diatoms are a ubiquitous group of plankton responsible for 20-40% of oceanic primary production, and a higher fraction of organic matter export to the ocean interior. Diatoms actively transport dissolved inorganic silicon into their cells, and through the process of silicification (i.e. biogenic silica production) they build tough and intricate...

Regional variations in the influence of mesoscale eddies on near-surface chlorophyll

Creator:: Gaube, Peter, McGillicuddy, Dennis J., Jr., Chelton, Dudley B., Behrenfeld, Michael J., and Strutton, Peter G.
Abstract:: Eddies can influence biogeochemical cycles through a variety of mechanisms, including the excitation of vertical velocities and the horizontal advection of nutrients and ecosystems, both around the eddy periphery by rotational currents and by the trapping of fluid and subsequent transport by the eddy. In this study, we present an...
