Wei, Chih-Lin (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Macrobenthos of the deep, northern Gulf of Mexico have been sampled with large box cores along multiple cross-depth transects extending from depths of 200 m out to 3700 m. Four major depth zones have been identified based ...
-
Nunnally, Clifton (2012-07-16)Coastal low oxygen areas are expanding globally and are predicted to increase in size and duration due to climatic changes associated with a warming ocean. The Gulf of Mexico Hypoxic Zone (GoMHZ) is the second largest ...
-
Matson, Cole Wesley (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The Caspian region and specifically the Apsheron peninsula of Azerbaijan is known to be polluted with a variety of environmental contaminants, making risk assessment difficult. The wetlands of Sumgayit contain particularly ...

Chen, Min (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Density, species diversity, species richness, and evenness of bivalve mollusks were measured in the deep (0.2km to 3.7km) northern Gulf of Mexico to describe the community structure of benthic bivalve mollusks. Density ...
-
Moreno, Maria Paula Teixeira (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Coastal dolphins are often exposed to habitat degradation and direct interactions with humans. Major factors that influence dolphin distribution, critical for conservation concerns, are still poorly understood even for the ...
-
McInnes, Allison Skinner (2014-06-03)The fate of carbon in the ocean determines both the amount of CO_(2) that can be sequestered and the amount of sustainable biomass. Compartmentalization into new and regenerated production allows a first order estimate of ...

Yip, Kuor-Jier (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)To date there exists no deep water record of a major tsunami from a benthic pressure gauge. Such deep water records and their spectra are desirable as a means of characterizing the tsunami source. The closest thing to such ...

Nunnally, Clifton Charles (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Cold seeps are areas of high biomass in the deep-sea, the impacts of these food-rich environments upon the sediment community is unknown in the Gulf of Mexico. The structure and function of benthic communities was ...

Kuklyte, Ligita (2012-10-19)Knowledge of mercury concentrations in fish is essential for human health protection. Mercury is a naturally occurring element that acts as a neurotoxin to humans and other species. The biologically available mercury form, ...
-
McClain, William Ray (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Commercial crawfish aquaculture in the United States presently depends primarily on a forage-based food system, with rice (Oryza sativa) being the major forage. More precise nutritional information about this forage-based ...
-
Wang, Yuning (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, ...
-
De Beukelaer, Sophie Magdalena (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Natural hydrocarbon seeps harbor distinctive geological, chemical, and biological features in the marine environment. This thesis verified remote sensing signatures of seeps using in-situ observation and repeated collections ...
-
Beazley, Melanie J. (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The bioavailability of metabolizable organic matter within marine sediments is one of the more important driving mechanisms controlling benthic pelagic communities. Interactions between organic material and mineral surfaces ...
-
Wei, Chih-Lin (2012-07-16)The deep ocean (> 200-m depth) covers more than 65 percent of earth's surface and is known as the largest active carbon sink of the planet. Photosynthesis fixes inorganic carbon into organic rich-compounds to fuel the ...

Sell, Karen S. (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Bottom water hypoxia and its influence on the environment have been topics of increasing concern for many coastal regions. This research addresses both spatial and temporal variability in sediment biogeochemistry at the ...
