Decadal changes in the equatorial Pacific circulation
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
An ocean general circulation model with data assimilation is used to analyze the decadal changes in the tropical Pacific Ocean circulation. Results indicate that the variability in the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) and ...
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 ...
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 ...
