Physical controls on copepod aggregations in the Gulf of Maine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
This thesis explores the role that the circulation in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) plays in determining the distribution of dense aggregations of copepods. These aggregations are an important part of the marine ecosystem, ...
Stability of large-scale oceanic flows and the importance of non-local effects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
My thesis covers two general circulation problems that involve the stability of largescale oceanic flows and the importance of non-local effects. The first problem examines the stability of meridional boundary currents, ...
Geophysical and geochemical constraints on the evolution of oceanic lithosphere from formation to subduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
This thesis investigates the evolution of the oceanic lithosphere in a broad sense from formation to subduction, in a focused case at the ridge, and in a focused case proximal to subduction. In general, alteration of the ...
