Dynamics of marine pelagic bacterial communities on the Texas-Louisiana shelf
(2009-05-15)
Microbial community interactions within many ecosystems are still relatively
unknown. Investigating links between environmental dynamics and shifting pelagic
bacterial community structures on the Texas-Louisiana shelf, ...
The significance of organic carbon and sediment surface area to the benthic biogeochemistry of the slope and deep water environments of the northern Gulf of Mexico
(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 ...
Low-frequency variability of currents in the deepwater eastern Gulf of Mexico
(2009-05-15)
Vertical structure of the low frequency horizontal currents at the northern edge of
the Loop Current during eddy shedding events is observed using concurrent
hydrographic, moored, and satellite altimetry data from 2005. ...
Using orbital altimetry and ocean color to characterize habitat of sperm whales in the Gulf of Mexico
(2009-05-15)
On Mesoscale Population Study cruises during summers 2004 and 2005 aboard
the sailboat Summer Breeze, researchers from the Sperm Whale Seismic Study (SWSS)
surveyed for sperm whales along the continental slope of the ...
Characteristics of the deep scattering layer in the Gulf of Mexico as they relate to sperm whale diving and foraging behavior
(2009-05-15)
This research was carried out in support of fieldwork in the Gulf of Mexico in summers
2004 and 2005 as part of the multidisciplinary Sperm Whale Seismic Study (SWSS).
Important aspects of SWSS research include oceanographic ...
Microbial carbon sources on the shelf and slope of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Over the past five years, gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass
spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) analyses of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) has been
increasingly used to link organic matter (OM) sources with sedimentary ...
Risk assessment and evaluation of the conductor setting depth in shallow water, Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Factors related to operations of a well that impact drilling uncertainties in the shallow
water region of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) can be directly linked to the site specific
issues; such as water depth and local geological ...
Differences in growth and toxicity of Karenia
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the Gulf of Mexico are primarily caused by dense aggregations of the dinoflagellate species, Karenia brevis. Karenia brevis produces a highly toxic neurotoxin, brevetoxin which has been shown ...
Relationships between nutrients and dissolved oxygen concentrations on the Texas-Louisiana shelf during summer of 2004
(2009-06-02)
Hypoxia (dissolved oxygen concentrations less than 1.4 ml/l) is a recurrent seasonal phenomenon on the Louisiana Shelf, caused by the combined effects of nutrient loading by the Mississippi and Atchafalaya River System ...
Early life ecology of sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus, in the northern Gulf of Mexico
(2010-07-14)
Sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus, are commonly taken by the recreational and
commercial fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) and larvae are frequently reported in
the region, indicating the Gulf's potential role as ...
