The Abundance and Distribution of Small Zooplankton near Cross Seamount
(2011-03)Seamounts are isolated shallow regions of the oceans formed by volcanoes. Seamounts have been found to support unusually large numbers of fish. It is possible that fish on seamounts are feed on small animals called ... -
Internal tides at Cross Seamount
(2011-03)The R.V. Thomas G. Thompson was used to study currents in the North Pacific Ocean over Cross Seamount, a large extinct submarine volcano South of Oahu, Hawai’i. An Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) was used to measure ... -
Inverse Echo Sounding: Using measured water depth to calculate water temperature and its variation over time
(2011-03)Inverse echo sounding is a new method that, in this investigation, has been used to calculate average temperature difference in the water column over time using the difference in the recorded depth of points on the sea ... -
Seafloor terrain and sediment characterization at Molokaʻi, Lōʻihi, and Cross Seamount via seafloor mapping
(2011-03)Research conducted between 27 Dec. 2010–4 Jan 2011 in Hawaii, at Molokai, Loihi, and Cross Seamount, combined seafloor mapping with sediment analysis to provide a comparison of different sediments over different terrain ... -
Zooplankton diel vertical migration and distribution relative to Cross Seamount using 75 kHz acoustic and net tow surveys
(2011-03)This project attempts to quantify and explain differences in zooplankton distribution and abundance on the top and sides of Cross Seamount, Hawaii. Zooplankton were collected with nets at different depths during both day ...
