Seismic and numerical constraints on the formation and evolution of ocean lithosphere
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
This thesis explicates aspects of the basic structure of oceanic lithosphere that are shaped by the processes that form the lithosphere. The strength of lithospheric plates relative to the underlying mantle enables the ...
The response of ocean salinity patterns to climate change : implications for circulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Global patterns of ocean salinity arise from the exchange of freshwater between the sea surface and the atmosphere. For a quasi-steady state system, these surface fluxes are balanced by compensating transports of salt in ...
