Elements of tropical Pacific decadal variability
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The evolution of decadal variability in the tropical Pacific is investigated using a global assimilation reanalysis. At the nexus of this study are monthly means of an ocean general circulation model coupled with a data ...
Cascading trophic interactions in a large, shallow sub-tropical estuary, Galveston Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Dilution bioassays estimate grazing impacts of zooplankton and growth rates of phytoplankton by experimentally reducing the encounter rate between predators and their prey. In this study, the dilution method was used to ...
The epibenthic megafauna of the northern Gulf of Mexico continental slope
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The epibenthic megafauna of the continental slope and abyssal plain of the northern Gulf of Mexico have been investigated using multi-shot bottom photography. A total of 10,388 photographs were analyzed from 100 sites ...
Correlation between physical and acoustic properties in surficial sediments of the Northwest Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A high-resolution analysis of the properties of bulk density, grain density, P-wave velocity, impedance, porosity, water content, and sand/ silt/clay content was performed on 126 short cores (<120cm) associated with LATEX ...
The inventory, seasonality and stoichiometry of the major phosphorus pools in the Sargasso Sea
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Between 1995 and 1997 samples were gathered on 31 cruises at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Site (BATS) for the measurement of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) and particulate organic ...
Carbon flow and ecosystem dynamics in the Mississippi River plume described by inverse analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Planktonic ecosystem dynamics in the buoyant Mississippi River plume were investigated using inverse analysis, a technique that incorporates data describing ecosystem processes and calculates rates of unknown trophic flows ...
Microscale effects of light on redox zonation in seagrass sediments
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Seagrass meadows are a primary structuring feature in many estuaries because of their ability to provide refuge for resident and transient fauna, trap and stabilize sediments, and mediate/regulate diagenetic reactions in ...
