The Monterey Bay Aquarium was founded in 1984 and hosts nearly two million visitors each year. In addition to the paid staff, there are over 1,000 volunteers who are critical to Aquarium operations. One set of volunteers comprises the guides who rotate to different stations throughout the Aquarium during their shift to interpret the various exhibits. No formal analysis has been previously completed to optimize guide scheduling based on existing constraints. Currently, the guide schedule is...

My long term goal is to understand and predict the distribution of marine bioluminescence, using the most advanced technology available for measuring light in the sea. I am especially interested in the organisms that cause luminescence, and their relative contributions to the oceanic light-field.

Our long term goal is to develop online collaboration environments that support cooperative operation of complex environmental field programs by distributed interdisciplinary teams. The need for such collaborative environments is growing. Modern field experiments are challenging to manage, in part because new autonomous and unmanned platforms increase both the complexity and the number of options available to participants. Consequently, managing a field program demands a diverse project team....

The objective of this Multi-University Research Initiative (MURI) grant, subtitled, The Adaptive Sampling and Prediction System (ASAP) was to learn how to deploy, direct, and utilize autonomous vehicles [and other mobile sensing platforms] most efficiently to sample the ocean, assimilate the data into numerical models in real or near-real time, and predict future conditions with minimal error. The scientific goal was to close the heat budget for a control volume surrounding a three-dimensional...

Repeated surveys off northern California during 1987 and 1988 provided high resolution tracks of nutrients, chlorophyll and phytoplankton species that enabled us to understand the chemical and biological consequences of the energetic jets and eddies of the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ). CTD surveys during 1987 and 1988 focused on the coastal transition zone off northern California, the area between the narrow and productive coastal upwelling zone (about 25 km wide in the area of the study) and...

The objective of this grant is to improve understanding of how the large-amplitude internal waves and tides in the northeastern South China Sea are generated via interaction of the barotropic tide with the ridges and islands in the Luzon Strait. In addition to the problem's inherent scientific interest, understanding the generation problem is essential for developing a forecast model to predict the wave characteristics in the deep basin and on the Chinese continental slope and shelf.

Our goal is to give an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle the ability to autonomously detect and mitigate problems while simultaneously simplifying mission configuration. We will do so by creating a set of tools for abstracting vehicle performance, and using that framework with an onboard simulator to detect, diagnose, and mitigate failures.

The long term goal of this project is to understand the interaction between tectonic and hydrologic forcing and the resultant creation and modification of seafloor geomorphology.

Once that relationship was established, we sought to determine the hydrologic and geotechnical state of the venting and non-venting regions. The...

Our immediate objective is to analyze one year's worth of data on the water circulation and vertical and lateral transport of suspended particulate matter within Monterey Submarine Canyon. We will use these data to: estimate the transport of water and particulates through the Monterey Submarine Canyon; compare the low frequency circulation and density structure at a 'wide' and at a 'narrow' portion of the canyon; relate the circulation in the canyon to parameters of the flow over the canyon,...

This project studied the circulation and transport of material in Monterey Submarine Canyon. Five subsurface moorings supporting twelve current meters with temperature sensors (six also measured conductivity and light transmission) and six sediment traps were deployed. Numerous CTD casts were made during four cruises. As expected, tidal frequencies dominated the energy spectra, and mean currents were very weak. Surprisingly, a three-day oscillation was found at all the measurement sites within...

The amount and distribution of water in the oceanic mantle lithosphere has implications on its strength and of the role of volatiles during plume/lithosphere interaction. The latter plays a role in the Earth's deep water cycle as water-rich plume lavas could re-enrich an oceanic lithosphere depleted in water at the ridge, and when this heterogeneous lithosphere gets recycled back into the deep mantle. The main host of water in mantle lithologies are nominally anhydrous minerals like olivine,...
