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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Cyclic response of Gulf of Mexico clay from the Walker Ridge
A significant number of offshore, nearshore and onshore structures are founded on soft clays. Both the structure and the foundation soft clay generally must withstand a combination of non-standard cyclic environmental loads, gravity loads and seismic loads. The importance of these structures, be it …

Time-Lapse Depletion Modeling Sensitivity Study: Gas-Filled Gulf of Mexico Reservoir
… model, helps determine the need and frequency of expensive repeat seismic acquisition. We simulate a Gulf of Mexico gas reservoir time-lapse response for depletion and water flooding using uncertainty ranges in water saturation, porosity, stress-induced velocity changes, and pore …

Late Quaternary Louisiana Shelf-Margin Deltaic Deposition, North-Central Gulf of Mexico
… establish a depositional framework for an area of the Louisiana shelf, north-central Gulf of Mexico. The depositional history of the study area is poorly understood, especially within the last cycle of major eustatic fluctuation (~18, 000 yrs BP – present). Data sets used in this study include …

Applied palynology: Multidisciplinary case studies from Egypt, Gulf of Mexico and USA
"Various applications of palynology have been used to study case studies from four different parts of the world, namely northern Egypt, offshore Gulf of Mexico, eastern Tennessee (USA), and New Orleans, Louisiana (USA). In these case studies, palynomorphs (spores, pollen, dinoflagellate cysts, and …

Late Holocene hurricane activity and climate variability in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico
Hurricane activity in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico and its relationship to regional and large-scale climate variability during the Late Holocene is explored. A 4500-year record of hurricane-induced storm surges is developed from sediment cores collected from a coastal sinkhole near Apalachee …

A 20,000 year flowstone record of Gulf of Mexico sourced moisture in Texas
… proxies have been used to investigate the range of climatic fluctuations forced by natural processes during past periods of warming. As part of this effort, speleothem-based oxygen isotope records have been used to hypothesize the contribution of either Gulf of Mexico (GoM) or Pacific Ocean …

Fish Assemblage Structure, Distribution, and Trophic Ecology at Northwestern Gulf of Mexico Banks
The northwest Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) shelf-edge banks both provide unique hard bottom habitat and support the northernmost coral reefs on the North American continental shelf in a region that is generally characterized by low relief, soft sediments. The habitat value of many of these banks has led …
