Structural and stratigraphic evolution of the central Mississippi Canyon Area: interaction of salt tectonics and slope processes in the formation of engineering and geologic hazards
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Approximately 720 square miles of digital 3-dimensional seismic data covering
the eastern Mississippi Canyon area, Gulf of Mexico, continental shelf was used to
examine the structural and stratigraphic evolution of the ...
Microbial carbon sources on the shelf and slope of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Over the past five years, gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass
spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) analyses of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) has been
increasingly used to link organic matter (OM) sources with sedimentary ...
Risk assessment and evaluation of the conductor setting depth in shallow water, Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Factors related to operations of a well that impact drilling uncertainties in the shallow
water region of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) can be directly linked to the site specific
issues; such as water depth and local geological ...
Differences in growth and toxicity of Karenia
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the Gulf of Mexico are primarily caused by dense aggregations of the dinoflagellate species, Karenia brevis. Karenia brevis produces a highly toxic neurotoxin, brevetoxin which has been shown ...
Patterns in biodiversity and distribution of benthic Polychaeta in the Mississippi Canyon, Northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The distribution of benthic polychaetes in the Mississippi Canyon was examined to evaluate impacts of environmental variables on species assemblages. Environmental variables considered included depth, bathymetric slope, ...
Bioaccumulation of mercury in pelagic fishes in NW Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Total mercury (Hg) levels were determined in the tissues of ten taxa of pelagic
fishes, with a special emphasis on apex predators (large vertebrates). Highest Hg levels
were observed in blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), ...
