Patterns in the Variation of CDOM Spectral Slopes in the Western Lake Erie Basin
<p>In recent decades, Western Basin of Lake Erie has been beset by various episodes of dense and sometimes harmful algal blooms. The federal government has mandated that jurisdictions have plans in place to predict and respond to harmful algal concentration explosions. In very large lakes like Lake …

Meridional circulation in the tropical North Atlantic
… the NADW and AAW are also presented. In both the western and eastern basins these waters are characterized by cyclonic recirculation gyres. A paricularly notable result of the deep western basin analysis is the negligible net flow of middle NADW. Although the horizontal circulation patterns …

THE SEASONAL AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE MARINE BENTHIC ALGAE OF TUNISIA
… water species. Northern Tunisia lies within the western cooler basin, while the southeast coast is in the eastern, warm basin. The pronounced temperature demarcation between the two regions probably accounts for their differential floristic composition. A comparison of the Tunisian flora with the …

Stratigraphic and structural evolution of the early Diligencia Basin, Orocopia Mountains, Southeastern California
… to tectonic processes diagnostic of both the Basin and Range physiographic province of North America, and the Transverse Ranges province of California. These different processes were active, however, during different periods in the history of the formation. The early Diligencia Basin had an …

Plio-Pleistocene Drainage Evolution of The Vera Basin, SE Spain
The Vera Basin is used as a case study to examine the structural evolution and sedimentary response of a basin undergoing uplift and inversion during the Plio-Pleistocene. Particular emphasis is placed on the drainage evolution during that period. Located within the Internal zone of the Betic …

Climate controls on coral growth in the Caribbean
… to sea surface temperature (SST) in the Western Caribbean basin (Yucatan, Belize, Bahamas), we found no significant relationship between SST and coral growth in the Eastern basin (USVI, Puerto Rico). Instead, we found a significant inverse relationship between coral growth in the Western …

Crustal, Thermal, and Structural Controls on Hydrocarbon Systems in the Delaware Basin, West Texas, and Southeastern New Mexico
… affecting hydrocarbon production in the Delaware Basin, the western physiographical province of the complexly structured, intracratonic Greater Permian Basin based on the interpretation of gravity and magnetic data, 3D seismic, and well data. Initial ambiguity of petroleum systems modeling results …

Geology of Mangapanian (late pliocene) strata, Wanganui Basin: lithostratigraphy, paleontology and sequence stratigraphy
… (late Pliocene) cyclothems in Wanganui Basin have been studied, stratigraphically logged and geologically mapped in thirteen sections from west to east across the basin. The Mangapanian succession contains two subgroups. The Paparangi Subgroup contains sparsely fossiliferous siltstone …

Coastal surface circulation of the Gulf of Cadiz from satellite altimetry measurements
… of the Gulf of Cadiz. It reveals that in the western basin, positive (eastward) surface currents are mainly driven by westerly winds, while occasional westward flows are mostly dominated by geostrophic forces. In contrast, in the eastern basin, both eastward and westward flows are primarily …

Mass, heat and nutrient fluxes in the Atlantic Ocean determined by inverse methods
… the South Atlantic and the neighboring ocean basins. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) carries a surplus of intermediate water into the South Atlantic through Drake Passage which is compensated by a surplus of deep and bottom water leaving the basin south of Africa. As a result, the ACC …

A study of North Atlantic ventilation using transient tracers
… of the major ventilation pathways for an ocean basin such as the North Atlantic. I present a new global model function, developed from a factor analysis of the WMO/IAEA data set, for predicting the spatial and temporal variability of bomb-tritium in precipitation. Model estimates for the …

Situating the Pot and Potter: Ceramic Production and Use at the Silvercreek Sites, Two Early-Late Woodland Sites in Elgin County, Ontario
… these sites within the wider context of southwestern Ontario in the 11th century A.D. I adopt a ‘communities of practice’ approach, and conclude that the similarities in ceramics throughout the Great Lakes during this time period can be seen as indicating high levels of social interaction, as …
