(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)This is a summary of an experimental study to measure the acoustic properties of water-saturated sediments. The sediments used were laboratory prepared to allow control of physical parameters (such as grain size, volume ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Numerous physical and mathematical models have simulated highly mature diapirism in which low density material moves upward through more dense material and then spreads out as a layer known as a canopy (Jackson and Talbot, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This study was designed to examine the uptake and depuration of trace organic contaminants, e.g. poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), including planar congeners, and butyltin species, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The application of the nonlinear quasi-geostrophic equations to an isolated eddy in the western continental slope region in the Gulf of Mexico is examined for a two-layer ocean model with realistic bottom topography. For ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Laboratory investigations were carried out with the marine mysid, Praunus flexuosus, to assess the degree of coupling between glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3; GDH) activity and the rate of whole animal ammonium excretion. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Kuwait crude oil was subjected to a time series, laboratory simulation of biodegradation by incubation in nutrient enhanced seawater with a mixed culture of oil degrading microorganisms isolated from the Gulf of Mexico. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Three hundred and twenty-one (321) samples from 15 type and reference sections of strata of the Eagle Ford, Austin, and lower Taylor (Cenomanian to early Campanian) in central, north-central, and northern Texas were examined ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)A comparative biostratigraphic and paleoenvironmental analysis was made of the nannofossils in late Neogene sediments from the Gulf of Mexico, the western Caribbean, and the eastern Equatorial Pacific. Species diversity ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Time-structure maps of the basement in the study area show two different sets of faults. These faults trend NNW-SSE in the northern and middle areas and NE-SW in the southern area. Strain ellipse indicates that the fault ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The ectoparasitic gastropod, Boonea impressa, altered the biochemical composition, energy balance, growth and the incidence and intensity of disease in the American oyster, Crassostrea virginica. B. impressa transferred ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)An existing three-dimensional time-dependent circulation model was adapted to investigate the circulation in the South Shetland Islands - Bransfield Strait region. The simulated circulation distributions show seasonal ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)This research was a detailed study of the clay fabrics and selected geotechnical properties of cored submarine sediment sampled to depths of 150 m from the Mississippi Prodelta depositional environment. The clay fabric ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)The research presented herein is a new design and development of a special methodology to delineate the nature of clay fabric in natural sediments under in situ downhole pressure conditions using pressurized core barrel ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)This study of the clay mineralogy of the surface sediments in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and its adjacent river outlets is based primarily on X-ray diffractograms of the less than 2u size fraction of 184 samples. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Biostratigraphy, diversity, and oxygen and carbon isotopes are determined for calcareous nannoplankton from four sections of Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary interval sediments on Walvis Ridge in the South Atlantic (DSDP Sites ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)X-ray computed tomography (CT), with concurrent conventional x-radiographic and high-resolution physical property analyses, revealed distinct environmental differences in sediment macrostructure (millimeter-to-centimeter ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)A general radiocarbon survey was conducted for the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent areas. A wide variety of samples was run in an effort to determine current levels of radiocarbon activity in Gulf coast rivers, the atmosphere, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)A taxonomic and biogeographic study was made of the fishes from ten reef sites in the western Gulf of Mexico and the northwestern Caribbean with the greatest sampling effort at the West Flower Garden Reef. This paper reports ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The West Flower Garden Bank is a coral reef on the Texas continental shelf. The corals on the bank are vulnerable to sediment contamination and to excess turbidity in the overlying water column. Concern for the environmental ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)The cross-flow ultrafiltration technique and multiple isotopic tracers (13c, 14c, 23OTh, and 234 Th) were used to study the cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the Gulf of Mexico and the NEddle Atlantic Bight. A ...
