(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The effects of ten used drilling muds on coral health have been examined by monitoring changes in calcification rate and soluble tissue protein in the coral Acropora cervicornis. Exposure to 25-ppm (v/v) of one mud for 24 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)A continuous culture apparatus (turbidostat) in conjunction with a controlled spectrum light source was employed to measure the maximum specific growth rates (K (subscript c)), chlorophyll a/cell and ¹⁴C uptake of Isochrysis ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)A two-layer, rigid-lid model of a Boussinesq, quasi-geostrophic ocean, based on the vertically-integrated equations of motion, is used on a (beta)-plane to study the processes involved as an initially-Gaussian cyclonic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )A sequence of 16 computer simulations of Lagrangian drifter dispersion in a shear flow are used to provide input data to a linear regression estimator for horizontal velocity gradients . The only source of error considered ...

(Texas A&M University, 1959)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)A need exists in oceanography for synoptic detection and delineation of various organic and physical features at the ocean surface because assessment of such features may provide insight into the complex interactions of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Since Broecker's (1965) original work, extensive studies have been made on abyssal near-bottom water mixing processes using the radioactive parent-daughter pair radium-226 (Ra) - radon-222 (Rn). One assumption critical to ...
-
(2018-07-31)Oil spills, while one of the most infamous manmade ecological disasters, remain relatively poorly understood, in particular the responses of microbial communities to the diverse suite of components in raw oil and chemical ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Pore water Fe and Mn were measured in a suite of gravity cores from the northern Gulf of Mexico in a study of diagnostic remobilization in recent sediments. Other relevant parameters such as pH, oxidation potential, total ...
-
(2023-07-11)In February of 2021, a series of winter storms moved across the southern continental United States, resulting in extreme cold temperatures on land and in coastal waters. The Texas Automated Buoy System (TABS) network ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Frequency-wavenumber spectra of sea surface temperature, wind stress components, and wind stress curl data from ship observations taken in the eastern North Pacific are presented. The reliability of the method of analysis ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )Hydrographic data and a specially designed expendable bathythermograph survey are used to study the dynamics of a Gulf Stream cyclonic ring over a period of four months. The analysis includes an examination of the ring ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The Orca Basin is a depression on the continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico which is partially filled with anoxic hypersaline brine. Steady-state diagenetic modelling of sulfate reduction in the basin sediments ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)This comprehensive seasonal study of the Brazos River and its estuary has provided much new information concerning the behavior of dissolved and particulate trace metals in a river system. Such a study is appropriate because ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1953)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Periplatform sediments from the slopes north of little Bahama Bank and Exuma Sound were studied extensively for use as a model for sediments in other similar environments within the upper 50 to 150 meters below the seafloor ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Geotechnical property analyses on sediments recovered by DSDP drilling on select convergent margins were integrated to determine the variability in these properties along the lower trench inner slope and to delineate the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1955)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The mantle tissue of Pinctada radiate and Pinctada margaritifera of the Red Sea was examined both histologically and histochemically. Zonal variations having histochemical and histological significance were found in this ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Factors affecting egg production and hatching success of the copepod Acartia tonsa Dana were determined by measuring environmental variables and daily egg production of field collected females in the laboratory. During ...
