(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Numerous physical and mathematical models have simulated highly mature diapirism in which low density material moves upward through more dense material and then spreads out as a layer known as a canopy (Jackson and Talbot, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)The abundance and distribution of 142 benthic species from 39 Skimmer stations in the Northeast Gulf of Mexico were analyzed using cluster analysis. Five deep-sea communities were defined: (1) Upper Continental Slope ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)Toted suspended matter (TSM) in the Caribbean was determined quantitatively by means of filtration through prepared 0.45 pm membrane filters. The new filtration technique employed enabled gravimetric precision to within 6 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )The question addressed in this dissertation is what is the primary energy source for the anticyclonic gyre found in the western Gulf of Mexico. Two energy sources are considered: the Loop Current through the mechanism of ...
-
(2014-12-12)The Galápagos Islands are one of the most diverse marine ecosystems in the world because they lie at the confluence of several ocean currents in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP). The Galápagos Marine Reserve (GMR) ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Stable carbon isotope fractionations by seventeen species of marine phytoplankton, representing the classes of Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Prasinophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Haptophyceae and Dinophyceae, have been ...

(Texas A&M University, 1958)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)A study of the organic and inorganic composition of five Texas coast foams has shown that they were enriched in organic matter and a number of trace metals and that the inorganic and mineral composition far exceeded the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)This study concerned the contemporary geochemistry of uranium in the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent areas. Hundreds of samples were analyzed using the novel delayed neutron counting technique. Emphasis was placed on understanding ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)This study has examined the tectonics of convergence along the Peru Trench with the specific objective to gain insight into the sediment subduction process. Analysis of GLORIA (Geological Long Range Inclined Asdic) long-range ...
-
(2013-08-30)Variations in the density banding and chemical composition of the skeletal material of long-lived corals in the Gulf of Mexico preserve records of past environmental conditions. To better interpret these records, the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )Integration of biostratigraphy and sedimentology of Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) drill core samples from the western North Atlantic Ocean resulted in a reconstruction of the Cretaceous geologic history of this ocean ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)The distribution of pelagic copepods with relation to the hydrology of the Drake Passage and off the coast of Argentina was studied in the plankton samples collected from four cruises made between February 1963 and July ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)The gribble Limnoria tripunctata and other members of the family Limnoriidae annually cause millions of dollars of damage to wooden structures in the marine environment. Thus it is of considerable economic importance to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)One of Texas A&M University's more detailed oceanographic cruises was that of R/V ALAMINOS 69A11, basically biological in scope but also including hydrographic, sediment coring, and bottom photography stations. Dredge ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The East and West Flower Garden Banks are located in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, approximately 190 km SSE of Galveston, Texas. These bathymetric highs are surface expressions of salt domes, and are two of the many ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The distribution and abundance of meiofauna and macroinfauna from ten stations on the outer east Texas continental shelf were examined. The meiofauna ranged from 519 to 896 individuals per 10 cm² and 3.95 to 6.49 mg wet ...
-
(2013-09-25)Microscopic organisms play an important role in carbon cycling in the ocean. Because of their large role, understanding how their activity is affected by other organisms and by particles in the water is important to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Small-scale variability of many properties in the ocean can best be studied by pumping water through a hose to analytical systems on board a ship. Sampling, however, tends to obliterate small-scale features of the resulting ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Time series measurements of current velocity, transmissivity and water temperature, along with meteorological data obtained during the winter of 1980-81 and the spring/summer of 1980 were analyzed in order to determine the ...
