Tectonics of the East Pacific rise : studies of faulting characteristics and magnetic and gravity anomalies
… axial region. This thesis, the result of that cruise, comprises four main topics: (1) characterization of normal faulting from Sea Beam bathymetric data, (2) application of mechanical models to explore the hypothesis that buoyancy arising from crustal magma chambers and gravitational spreading …

The structure of the Kuroshio west of Kyushu
… CTD survey was made in July, 1986 aboard the R/V Washington to study the seasonal variability in the Kuroshio. The Kuroshio in this region exhibited a marked seasonal change in its near-surface stratification and water properties. In January, the Kuroshio water was separated from the vertically …

The origin and tectonic history of the Southwest Philippine Sea
This thesis is a collection and analysis of seafloor magnetic anomalies, bathymetry, and the paleomagnetism of DSDP sediments and basalt in the West Philippine Basin, in an attempt to resolve questions about its origin as a marginal basin. Our results suggest that this basin was formed in an Eocene …

Where three oceans meet : the Algulhas retroflection region
The highly energetic Agulhas Retroflection region south of the African continent lies at the junction of the South Indian, South Atlantic, and Circumpolar Oceans. A new survey of the Agulhas Retroflection taken in March 1985, plus historical hydrographic data, allow its dynamical and water-mass …

A qualitative and quantitative study of the distribution of pelagic sediment in the Atlantic Basin
Pelagic sedimentation is the primary modifier of topography generated by ridge-associated volcanic and tectonic processes. This thesis represents an effort to understand the processes of, and the general distribution of, pelagic sedimentation on rough topography, particularly in the Atlantic Basin …

The ecology of colonial radiolarians : their colony morphology, trophic interactions and associations, behavior, distribution, and the photosynthesis of their symbionts
Colonial radiolarians (Spumellaria) are among the most common and abundant large zooplankton, but they have been little studied by modern biologists. Colonies were found on 98% of epipelagic diving stations in the period from 1977 to 1979. Measured abundances ranged from .04 to 540 colonies per m3. …
