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 ...
Community structure of deep-sea bivalve mollusks from the northern Gulf of Mexico
(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 ...
Assessment of seismic risk for subsea production systems in the Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The number of subsea production systems placed in deepwater locations in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) has increased significantly in the last ten to fifteen years. Currently, API-RP2A (2000 a,b) designates the GOM as a low ...
3-D multichannel seismic reflection study of variable-flux hydrocarbon seeps, continental slope, northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In the northern Gulf of Mexico, seafloor hydrocarbon fluid and gas seepage is an ubiquitous process on the continental margin. Although seafloor seepage and seep-related features (mud volcanoes, carbonate formation) have ...
Remote sensing analysis of natural oil and gas seeps on the continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico
(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 ...
