-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)For the first time, gram quantities of dissolved organic matter have been isolated from several thousand liters of sea water with minor contamination. Optimum conditions for the adsorption of the dissolved organic matter ...
-
Ecology and taxonomy of ostracodes inhabiting the Laguna Madre, Redfish Bay, and Copano Bay, Texas (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1964)In this paper the use of an eddy diffusivity tensor in the conservation of salt equation is investigated from two points of view. First it is found that the order of tensor assumed specifies the amount of information that ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)The use of electrical logging techniques to locate ore bodies dates back to the 1830's. By 1920 electrical logging techniques were applied to tectonic studies. The extensive petroleum logging industry began in 1927 when ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)A need exists in oceanography for synoptic detection and delineation of various organic and physical features at the ocean surface because assessment of such features may provide insight into the complex interactions of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The baroclinic response due to forcing by a narrow current of a coastal ocean overlying a shelf with a submarine canyon was examined using a 1.5-layer enstrophy-conserving numerical model. Three canyon shapes were employed: ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)A free-air gravity anomaly map of the North Atlantic Ocean has been constructed at a 10 mgal contour interval utilizing all available surface ship and pendulum gravity measurements. The map shows values more positive to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Frequency-wavenumber spectra of sea surface temperature, wind stress components, and wind stress curl data from ship observations taken in the eastern North Pacific are presented. The reliability of the method of analysis ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The Great Lakes are surrounded by heavily industrialized regions. High frequency of hepatocellular neoplasm in fish has been found. This study was undertaken to assess the environmental contamination by analyzing polycyclic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)The growing demand for fossil has been a motivating factor in geological research in Nigeria, West Africa. With estimated oil and gas reserves of 16.5 billion barrels and 34.8 trillion cubic feet, respectively, the Niger ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Rapid accumulation of organic-rich sediments and the subsequent anaerobic, biogenic decomposition of the organic material on the Mississippi River delta have led to sediment regions with high methane concentrations. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)Models of subaerial and beachrock carbonate cementation environments have been simulated successfully in the laboratory and have proven to be an important tool in understanding cementation processes in the field. Decreases ...
-
Interaction of organic compounds with carbonate mineral surfaces in seawater and related solutions (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The selective adsorption of the C[4] to C[14] fatty acid homologs, twelve amino acids, and a series of synthetic polyglutamic acids of variable monomer unit size with the surfaces of calcite, aragonite, dolomite, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)This investigation of consolidation-induced changes in macrostructures is based on (1) the use of stereo X-ray radiography to map the macrostructures prior to and following consolidation and (2) a comparison of changes ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Tsunami records, obtained along coastlines at points distant from their source, are greatly modified from their deep water signatures. A better understanding of tsunamis propagating in deep water is required before successful ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)A system of coupled, normal mode equations describing a two-layer ocean basin of variable depth was derived from the quasi-hydrostatic equations of motion using a general form of the method of Veronis and Stommel (1956). ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Integrated high resolution seismic and core data from the Texas outer continental shelf and upper continental slope were used to reconstruct the late Pleistocene geologic history of the area. Seismically aided correlation ...
-
A limited-domain numerical model for long-range tsunami propagation over an ocean of variable depth (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A limited-domain numerical algorithm with radiational boundary conditions is developed with emphasis on the capability of real-time tsunami prediction. Bottom topography representative of the North West Pacific was employed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)A taxonomic analysis of luminescent bacteria from the light organs of five different species (four genera) of fishes of the family Macrouridae, 39 non-symbiotic luminescent isolants from nearshore and offshore marine ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The sediment geochemistry of Mn at a site in Galveston Bay, Texas, was investigated through a three-fold approach. A field study demonstrated that despite the coarse, quartz-rich nature of the bottom sediments, Mn was ...
