Examining The Binding of Radionuclides with Marine Biopolymers, A Comparative Study On Th, Pa, Be, Po And Pb Isotopes
(2013-12-09)Natural radioisotopes, Th, Pa, Pb, Po and Be, have been used as important proxies in oceanographic investigations for decades. Biopolymers, produced by both phytoplankton and bacteria, play an important role in the scavenging ... -
POC algorithms based on spectral remote sensing data and its temporal and spatial variability in the Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)This dissertation consists of three studies dealing with particulate organic carbon (POC). The first study describes the temporal and spatial variability of particulate matter (PM) and POC, and physical processes that ... -
The Relationships of Particulate Matter and Particulate Organic Carbon with Hypoxic Conditions Along the Texas-Louisiana Shelf
(2014-08-06)The Mississippi-Atchafalaya river system discharges into the northern Gulf of Mexico and peaks during the spring freshet bringing high levels of nutrients that spur eutrophication in surface waters, often resulting in ... -
The Role of Particulate Matter in the Development of Hypoxia on the Texas-Louisiana Shelf
(2013-07-31)In the northern Gulf of Mexico, hypoxia occurs annually during the summer on the Texas-Louisiana shelf. This study examines the distribution of particulate and dissolved components relative to hydrography, to better ...
