Decadal to centennial-scale climate interactions across the Indo-Pacific region
… and associated impacts within the tropical Indo-Pacific, where low-frequency changes in heat and freshwater impact the livelihoods of billions of people. Because the instrumental record is too short to investigate centennial variability, this thesis leverages numerical simulations and …

Coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific and changes in global Holocene
The key to understanding the future impact of the anthropogenic combustion of fossil fuels on the climate system, is to fully understand the complex feedback loops within the natural Earth system. One natural climate feedback that has been proposed is the Coral Reef Hypothesis whereby significant …

A Test of the Area of Refuge Hypothesis in Indo-Pacific Marine Biogeography
… patterns of species richness of the Indo-Pacific. One of these hypotheses suggests that available habitat area is the main predictor of species richness. This is the basis for the area of refuge hypothesis that attempts to explain the global maxima of species richness found in the …

An Examination of Aggressive Behavior in Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (<i>Tursiops Aduncus</i>)
… aggressive behaviors in a wild population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) off the coast ofMikura Island, Japan. The purpose of the study was to determine if age class, sex, approach angle, and body posture influenced aggression within this population. The area of the …

Climate and Hydrographic Variability In the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool Over the Past 26,000 Years
<p>The Indo-Pacific Warm Pool is currently the warmest region of the modern ocean, with annual average sea surface temperatures upwards of 28°C. As such, it is the largest single source of heat and moisture to the atmosphere. Climate modeling efforts and paleoceanographic reconstructions have …

Reef Carbonate Budgets & Symbiodiniaceae Diversity in the Arabian Gulf, Western Indian Ocean & Central Indo-Pacific
… El Nino disturbances - Western Indian Ocean) and Indonesia (located within the epicenter of marine biodiversity, the Coral Triangle - Central Indo-Pacific). In addition, genetic diversity of selected coral symbionts is investigated. In light of predicted warming trends, which present a threat to …

Investigation of population abundance, distribution, and population linkage of Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) on the north and south of Zanzibar using mark-recapture and acoustic methods
… observer programs, or genetic testing, on Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) around Zanzibar Island, Tanzania, suggest separate populations around the north and south coasts. However, most research around the island has focused on the south coast, and movement of dolphins …

U.S.–INDONESIA MARITIME SECURITY COOPERATION: EXERCISE CARAT, 2018–2024
… the United States to pivot its interests to the Indo-Pacific and a change in policy that emphasizes U.S. security cooperation with its allies and partners. This thesis evaluates U.S. naval security cooperation efforts with Indonesia and determines its impact on enhancing capability and …

Australia’s Route To Aukus: An English School Analysis Of Australia’s National Identity And Strategic Alignment
… framework, • or an element of broader U.S. Indo-Pacific containment strategy. While these interpretations remain analytically valid and useful, they largely frame AUKUS as a short-term strategic reaction within contemporary great power competition, which this dissertation sought to argue …

The demography of Red Sea reef fishes since the Last Glacial Maximum
… with other biogeographic barriers across the Indo-Pacific; in this case it was stronger than some but not as strong as the Indo-Pacific barrier. Overall, the demographic histories showed a similar and mild response to environmentally-induced habitat loss in the Red Sea across species, albeit …

Spatiotemporal Variability of CO2, Solar-Induced Fluorescence, And Precipitation Over the Tropical Rainforests
… The Amazon basin, Congo basin, and the tropical Indo-Pacific play vital roles in biospheric processes, which contribute to Earth’s atmospheric CO2 concentration. This investigation will use various space-based and ground-based datasets and empirical models to explore photosynthetic activity, …

The Impact of a Warmer Climate on Atmospheric Circulation with Implications for the Asian Summer Monsoon
… that both a warming of the high latitudes and Indo-Pacific tropical region are needed to reproduce the regional Pliocene climates indicated by terrestrial paleo-proxy data. These results suggest that the tropical atmospheric circulation of the Indo-Pacific region during the warm Pliocene may …

Pliocene-Pleistocene Radiolarian Investigations of the Equatorial Oceans
… magnetosubchron (1.95-1.79Ma) of the equatorial Indo-Pacific Oceans. A number of radiolarian tools are used as palaeoceanographic proxies, including the recognition of distinct glacial and interglacial assemblages, which form the basis of a new Radiolarian Temperature Index (RTI), and the further …

The Effectiveness of Periodically-Harvested Closures in Meeting Ecological and Socioeconomic Objectives
… marine spatial management used throughout the Indo-Pacific that also is currently being intensively advocated by conservation organizations for supporting productive fisheries and healthy marine ecosystems. However, local implementation of PHCs has historically been designed to support …

Phylogenetics and Phylogeography of Moray Eels (Muraenidae)
… multiple invasions of the Atlantic from the Indo-Pacific, one of these occurring immediately prior to formation of the Isthmus of Panama approximately 2.8 MY ago and one or two others occurring in the early to mid Miocene. Cladogenesis occurring within the Atlantic during the mid Miocene and …
