Quantifying channelized submarine depositional systems from bed to basin scale
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The challenges of directly observing active turbidity currents necessitates the consideration of preserved deposits for deciphering the behavior of these systems. In this thesis, I take advantage 3-D subsurface seismic ...
Biogeochemical and phylogenetic signals of Proterozoic and Phanerozoic microbial metabolisms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Life is ubiquitous in the environment and an important mediator of Earth's carbon cycle, but quantifying the contribution of microbial biomass and its metabolic fluxes is difficult, especially in spatially and temporally-remote ...
Movements and oceanographic associations of large pelagic fishes in the North Atlantic Ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Highly migratory marine fishes support valuable commercial fisheries worldwide. Yet, many target species have proven difficult to study due to long-distance migrations and regular deep diving. Despite the dominance of ...
Ocean circulation and dynamics on the west Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Observations of current velocity, temperature, salinity and pressure from a 2-year moored array deployment and four hydrographic cruises conducted by the United States Southern Ocean GLOBEC program on the western Antarctic ...
