Ring Dynamics in the Western Gulf of Mexico
<p>The interaction of a recently-formed Loop Current ring and a fossil ring is studied using observations and a two-layered eddy-resolving general circulation model of the Gulf of Mexico. This interaction is investigated by following the evolution of volume, energy, potential vorticity, angular …

Modeling sea surface height in the Gulf of Mexico
A model was created to form synthetic plots of sea surface height (SSH) from monthly SSH statistics in the Gulf of Mexico generated from satellite laser altimetry data. SSH is a signal of the upper ocean mixed layer heat content and is an input for hurricane intensity models. A significant ocean …

Physical controls on copepod aggregations in the Gulf of Maine
… explores the role that the circulation in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) plays in determining the distribution of dense aggregations of copepods. These aggregations are an important part of the marine ecosystem, especially for endangered North Atlantic right whales. Certain ocean processes may …

Dinoflagellate blooms and physical systems in the Gulf of Maine
Numerous studies have shown dinoflagellate blooms to be closely related to density discontinuities and fronts in the ocean. The spatial and temporal patterns of the dinoflagellate population depend on the predominant mode of physical forcing, and its scales of variability. The present study …

Factors Shaping Macrofaunal Polychaete Communities in the Gulf of Mexico
… deep-sea benthic polychaete communities in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). The study includes samples from two major sampling programs: the Deep Gulf of Mexico Benthos (DGoMB) program (2000?2002) (51 stations, 200-3700 m) and the SIGSBEE program (Universidad Nacional Aut?noma de M?xico), 2008-2010 (27 …

Long-Term Ambient Noise Statistics in the Gulf of Mexico
… noise was collected at several sites in the Gulf of Mexico during 2004 and 2005. The Naval Oceanographic Office deployed bottom moored Environmental Acoustic Recording System (EARS) buoys approximately 159 nautical miles south of Panama City, Florida, in water depths of 3200 meters. The …

Assessment of Seismic Hazards along the Northern Gulf of Aqaba
… and recreation cities for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Israel, respectively. The two cities are the most susceptible to damage from a destructive future earthquake because they are located over the tectonically active Dead Sea transform fault (DST) that is the source of most of the major …

Integrated Study Of Dinoflagellate Diversity In The Gulf of Naples
Dinoflagellates are a diverse lineage of protists known as an essential component of marine planktonic communities. To study their seasonal diversity at the LTER-MC station in the Gulf of Naples, I used high throughput sequencing (HTS) metabarcoding of the V4 region in the 18S rDNA. To …

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PUMA DIAPIR, GULF OF MEXICO BASIN
<p>The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Basin has been a significant target for oil and gas since the 1990s and continues today as a leading exploration target. This super basin is home to an estimated 200 BBOE (Billon barrels of oil equivalent), with current production totaling 60 BBOE for both USA and …

Trait-based modeling of larval dispersal in the Gulf of Maine
… that governs the spatial and temporal dynamics of marine ecosystems. For many marine species, population connectivity is driven by dispersal during a planktonic larval phase. The ability to obtain accurate, affordable, and meaningful estimates of larval dispersal patterns is therefore a key …

Phosphorous cycling in the Gulf of Maine : a multi-tracer approach
Knowledge of temporal and spatial nutrient turnover and export rates is of great importance for a variety of investigations, ranging from nutrient limitation to contamination uptake and removal. However, there are few methods that allow for the in situ elucidation of these processes. In this thesis …

3D Seismic Interpretation of Turbidite-Sands from the Gulf of Mexico
… some key stratigraphic and structural elements of Garden Bank (GB) Block 191 applying both geological and geophysical techniques. The area is located in the Gulf of Mexico 160 miles southwest of Lafayette. Threedimensional seismic data and some well logs were integrated and analyzed to construct …

Sustainable development of maritime cultural heritage in the Gulf of Maine
<p>In this study the principles of sustainable development and ecosystem-based management are applied to develop a conservation policy for maritime cultural heritage in the Gulf of Maine. This dissertation first examines the effectiveness of existing laws, policies and preservation programs …

Dynamics of phytoplankton community composition in the western Gulf of Maine
<p>This dissertation is founded on the importance of phytoplankton community composition to marine biogeochemistry and ecosystem processes and motivated by the need to understand their distributions on regional to global scales. The ultimate goal was to predict surface phytoplankton communities …

Variability in red snapper otolith microchemistry among Gulf of Mexico regions
… been an economically important reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) for over 150 years and is currently overfished. Catch statistics and demographic differences have lead to the population being categorized into eastern and western substocks divided by the Mississippi River, but data is …
