Seamounts are one of the largest biomes on earth, yet remain one of the least explored. They are known to be centers of increased biomass, species richness, endemism and speciation as well as areas of distinct community structure, as...
The primary goal of this dissertation was to explore the use of stable isotope analysis as a tool to understand how energy flows at several layers of biological organization from the individual to the ecosystem level. With the exception...
The growth of a locally isolated strain of green algae, Chlorella sp., selected for its promise as a biodiesel feedstock, was studied in wastewater effluent from the municipal wastewater treatment plant in Tallahassee FL. Nutrient...
It has been suggested in older and recent literature that a broad deep eastern boundary flow is linking the equatorial Pacific Ocean to the Southern Ocean. The depth range of this flow corresponds to the Pacific Deep Water (2500m) where...
The formation of cold core filaments on an idealized continental shelf is investigated using a numerical model to simulate the ocean's response to surface cooling. A horizontal density gradient forms because of uneven buoyancy loss due...
Community Structure of Benthic Invertebrates on Necker Ridge in the North Pacific: Distribution, Diversity, and Preliminary Comparison to the Hawaiian Archipelago
In shallow water the Hawaiian Archipelago is one of the most isolated archipelagos in the world, but at depth it may be connected to the vastly understudied seamount-rich region of the central and western Pacific by Necker Ridge, an...
The traditional method for producing taxonomic illustrations requires the preparation of inked copies of pencil originals. These individual figures are then grouped into plates for publication. I describe an alternative, computer-based...
Fire-derived compounds have received considerable attention as a refractory form of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), the largest carbon pool in the ocean. Due to its recalcitrant nature, pyrogenic or black carbon, which is produced by the...
Apalachicola Bay is a shallow estuarine system enclosed by a chain of barrier islands on the west Florida shelf. It is important both ecologically and economically due to the high biological productivity in the bay. The bay is subject to...
The purpose of these studies was to monitor changes in two aquatic ecosystems that represent end members along a continuum of human impacts. St. Andrew Bay in Panama City, Florida, USA, has been impacted by humans since it formed about 5...
