Laboratory measurements of deep water breaking waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
Large scale structure from motion for autonomous underwater vehicle surveys
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Our ability to image extended underwater scenes is severely limited by attenuation and backscatter. Generating a composite view from multiple overlapping images is usually the most practical and flexible way around this ... -
Large-area visually augmented navigation for autonomous underwater vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis describes a vision-based, large-area, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm that respects the low-overlap imagery constraints typical of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) while exploiting ... -
Laser diffraction particle sizing : sampling and inversion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
Magmatism and dynamics of continental breakup in the presence of a mantle plume
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)This thesis studies the dynamics of mantle melting during continental breakups by geophysical, geochemical, and numerical analyses. The first part focuses on the mantle melting and crustal accretion processes during the ... -
Mantle convection, melt migration and the generation of basalts at mid-ocean ridges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
The marine geochemistry of rhenium, iridium and platinum
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Marine propeller blade tip flows

Mark-recapture statistics and demographic analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Mark-recapture analysis of populations is becoming an important tool in population biology. Mark-recapture methods can be used to estimate transition probabilities among life-stages from capture histories of marked individuals ... -
Measurement of ship resistance coefficient from simple trials during a regular voyage
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
Measurement of unsteady forces on a circular cylinder in cross flow at subcritical Reynolds numbers

Mechanisms of turbulent mixing in the Continental Shelf bottom boundary layer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)The bottom boundary layer is an important dynamical region of shallow water flows. In this thesis, the problem of turbulent mixing in the coastal bottom boundary layer is investigated with a unique set of field measurements ... -
A method for the design of a class of optimum marine propulsors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
A methodology for strategic deployment of deep-sea containerships in a competitive operating environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Mid-frequency acoustic backscattering from finite cylindrical shells and the influence of helical membrane waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Mid-frequency acoustic scattering from finite internally-loaded cylindrical shells near axial incidence
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
