Assessment of wintertime carbon flux direction in the fjord system of Hood Canal in Washington
(2018-05-27)The relationship between carbon dioxide and the mechanisms behind its exchange between the ocean and atmosphere benefits the study and understanding of climate change given Carbon dioxide’s behavior as a greenhouse gas and ... -
The concentration of microplastics compared to relative population proximity and basin residence times in Hood Canal and Whidbey Basin in Puget Sound, WA
(2017-07)Microplastics enter waterways due to humans, however water circulation and winds can have an effect on where they concentrate. Microplastic concentrations are determined in Hood Canal and Whidbey Basin in Puget Sound, ... -
Effects of Low Oxygen Levels on Copepod Size Distribution with Depth in Hood Canal
(2019)Hypoxia is a condition affecting marine trophic webs throughout the world’s oceans. In Hood Canal, Puget Sound is a basin that experiences seasonal hypoxic due to its bathymetry and poor circulation. High primary productivity ... -
Generation and structural properties of internal waves in Hood Canal
(2018-05-27)Internal waves were first reported by Vilhelm Bjerknes as the phenomenon called “dead water,” and can now be observed all over the world. In Hood Canal, a fjord in the southwestern portion of Puget Sound, internal waves ... -
Influence of Zooplankton Community Composition on Copepod Diel Vertical Migration in Hood Canal
(2018-05-27)This study observed zooplankton community composition alongside copepod diel vertical migration patterns in order to make conclusions about the relationship between these two factors. Data on zooplankton community, diel ... -
Microbial Comparison of Anoxic Saanich Inlet and Oxic Hood Canal using 16S Community Analysis
(2018-05-27)Microbes play a critical role in the marine environment. They cycle nutrients, fix carbon, and can severely alter the water chemistry. Around the world, a place that they are especially important is in marine oxygen minimum ... -
Mysterious mounds of southern Hood Canal:dumpsites,landslide deposits or glacial debris
(2007-05)In 2005 two large seafloor mounds 30-40m high and approximately 350m in diameter were partially imaged in Southern Hood Canal.The geophysical and sediment data indicate that the mounds are at least 12,000 years old and ... -
Relationship between Bottom Water Oxygen Concentration and Palmitic Acid Preservation in Saanich Inlet, BC and Hood Canal, WA
(2018-06-01)The global carbon cycle in the ocean is closely associated with dissolved oxygen in the surface ocean. Phytoplankton produce oxygen, and the oxygen in the atmosphere and surface seawater diffuses down to the seafloor. Dead ... -
A study of atmospheric CO2 transfer within surface fjord water in southern Hood Canal
(2018-05-27)Atmospheric CO2 is expected to continually increase and raise the global temperature by ~2 degree C by 2100. The global ocean consumes 30-40% of all CO2 emitted into the atmosphere every year which limits more dramatic ... -
Vertical distribution of microplastics in Hood Canal and Main Basin, Puget Sound, Washington
(2019)Microplastics have been an increasingly important pollutant and area of research over the past 50 years. Although microplastics threaten marine ecosystems in various ways, little is known about their sink, vertical ...
