(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The early geologic history of the DeSoto Canyon Salt Basin (DSCSB) in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico can be explained by Mesozoic extensional processes associated with a rifted, passively subsiding continental margin. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)A three-dimensional time-dependent primitive equation model has been constructed to investigate the processes that control the circulation in East Lagoon, a narrow, shallow lagoon on Galveston Island, Texas. The primarily ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The motion and spindown characteristics of oceanic mesoscale vortices have been examined through the use of a finite difference equivalent barotropic numerical model. Variable parameters in the study include vortex size, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)The distribution of octocorals in the Gulf of Mexico is reviewed in this paper. The taxonomy, ecology, and paleontology of this group from along the Texas Gulf coast are emphasized. A brief taxonomic description of 58 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)A qualitative and statistical study of the trajectory data for 51 satellite-reporting, drogued drifters in the Eastern North Pacific has shown that there are distinct seasonal differences in the patterns of surface flow. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Large-scale features of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) are described using all historical hydrographic data available from the Southern Ocean. A dynamic topography map of the upper kilometer reveals the highly-sheared ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)A time series of net transport during 1979 of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the upper 2500 m of Drake Passage was obtained as part of the International Southern Ocean Studies by Whitworth (1983), and was presented ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Dissolved and particulate lipid extracts were collected at a number of locations in the Gulf of Mexico, the Scotia Sea, and in and near the Cariaco Trench. Lipid material was defined as those organic compounds extractable ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Physical properties measurements and geotechnical testing of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 134 cores from the d'Entrecasteaux Zone (DEZ) and the intra-arc North Aoba Basin (NAB) in the southwest Pacific Ocean provide a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)The northeastern Campeche Platform comprises on of the most important areas of the Gulf of Mexico-Caribbean Sea region in terms of geologic history. This large carbonate platform has been thought to be a rather stable ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The reduced trace gases, N2O, H2, and CH4, are dissolved in oceanic water and are often found to be supersaturated with respect to the atmosphere. The origins of the gases appear to be biological production and a common ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Radiocarbon dating techniques have not been as widely applied as they might be to the analysis of marine sediments because of the generally low carbon content in these sediments. Thus, a method to date sediments with low ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Solitary waves represent an unambiguous tool for the initial study of the propagation of long, nonlinear, dispersive water waves. A numerical model, based on an appropriate set of equations for approximating these waves ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The regional distribution of salt in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico reflects a complex interplay between tectonic basin architecture and subsequent salt kinematics. Persistent northwest-southeast structural trends across ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Remote sensing of ocean waters, using the Nimbus-7 Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS), in the northern Gulf of Mexico during a 17 month period (November 1978 - March 1980) showed large variability in the spatial and temporal ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Eleven speices of Scleractinian corals (Agaricia agaricities, Acropora vervicornis, Porites astreoides, P. divaricate, P. furcate, Madracis mirabilis, M. decatis, Montastrea annularis, M. cavernosa, Diploria strigose, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Naturally occurring levels of Ra-228, Ra-226, and Rn-222 were measured in and around warm core rings to enhance interpretation provided by conventional conservative tracers. Surplus Rn-222 was found in warm core ring 82B, ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)During Eltanin Cruise 51 (January-February 1972), hydrographic features, phytoplankton standing crop, and primary production were determined between New Zealand and the Ross Ice Shelf. Four geographical regions with unique ...
