Observations Of The Eastern Maine Coastal Current And Its Offshore Extensions In 1994, Neal Pettigrew, David Townsend, Huijie Xue, J. P. Wallinga, P. J. Brickley, R. D. Hetland
Observations Of The Eastern Maine Coastal Current And Its Offshore Extensions In 1994, Neal Pettigrew, David Townsend, Huijie Xue, J. P. Wallinga, P. J. Brickley, R. D. Hetland
Marine Sciences Faculty Scholarship
Cold surface temperatures, reflecting Scotian Shelf origins and local tidal mixing, serve as a tracer of the Eastern Maine Coastal Current and its offshore extensions, which appear episodically as cold plumes erupting from the eastern Maine shelf. A cold water plume emanating from the Eastern Maine Coastal Current in May 1994 was investigated using advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, shipboard surveys of physical and biochemical properties, and satellite-tracked drifters. Evidence is presented that suggests that some of the plume waters were entrained within the cyclonic circulation over Jordan Basin, while the major portion participated in an anticyclonic eddy …

Importance Of Suspended Particulates In Riverine Delivery Of Bioavailable Nitrogen To Coastal Zones, Lawrence M. Mayer, R. G. Keil, S. A. Macko, S. B. Joye, K. C. Ruttenberg, R. C. Aller
Importance Of Suspended Particulates In Riverine Delivery Of Bioavailable Nitrogen To Coastal Zones, Lawrence M. Mayer, R. G. Keil, S. A. Macko, S. B. Joye, K. C. Ruttenberg, R. C. Aller
Marine Sciences Faculty Scholarship
Total nitrogen (TN) loadings in riverine sediments and their coastal depocenters were compared for Il river systems worldwide to assess the potential impact of riverine particulates on coastal nitrogen budgets. Strong relationships between sediment specific surface area and TN allow these impacts to be estimated without the intense sampling normally required to achieve such budgets. About half of the systems showed higher nitrogen loadings in the riverine sediments than those from the coastal depocenter. In spite of uncertainties, these comparisons indicate that large, turbid rivers, such as the Amazon, Huanghe, and the Mississippi, deliver sediments that in turn release significant …
Racial Prejudice And Support By Whites For Police Use Of Force : A Research Note, Steven E. Barkan, Steven F. Cohn
Racial Prejudice And Support By Whites For Police Use Of Force : A Research Note, Steven E. Barkan, Steven F. Cohn
Sociology School Faculty Scholarship
The use of force by police in a democratic society continues to be controversial. Despite the theoretical and practical importance of police use of force, little is known about the sources of public attitudes toward it. Recent research suggests that whites' approval of police use of force may derive partly from racial prejudice against African Americans. In this paper we test this possibility with data from the 1990 General Social Survey and find that negative stereotypes of African Americans contribute to whites' support for police use of excessive force. We also address the theoretical and pragmatic significance of our findings.

Deglacial Radiocarbon Chronology Of The Western Ross Sea From Relative Sea-Level Curves, George H. Denton, Brenda Hall
Deglacial Radiocarbon Chronology Of The Western Ross Sea From Relative Sea-Level Curves, George H. Denton, Brenda Hall
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
This award provides support for one year of funding to perform carbon-14 analyses on samples (seal skin and Adamussium colbecki shells) collected in firm stratigraphic position within numerous raised beaches along the Scott Coast of the western Ross Sea, Antarctica. These measurements will enable the development of a radiocarbon chronology and will result in detailed relative sea- level curves for five separate localities along the Scott Coast. These relative sea-level curves will help to constrain the timing of deglaciation in the western Ross Sea. During the last glaciation, West Antarctic ice expanded into the Ross Sea, merged with East Antarctic …

Soluble Species In Aerosol And Snow And Their Relationship At Glacier 1, Tien Shan, China, Junying Sun, Dahe Qin, Paul Andrew Mayewski, Jack E. Dibb, Sallie Whitlow, Zhongqin Li, Qinzhao Yang
Soluble Species In Aerosol And Snow And Their Relationship At Glacier 1, Tien Shan, China, Junying Sun, Dahe Qin, Paul Andrew Mayewski, Jack E. Dibb, Sallie Whitlow, Zhongqin Li, Qinzhao Yang
Earth Science Faculty Scholarship
Simultaneous sampling of aerosol (n = 20) and snow (n = 114) was made at Glacier 1, Tien Shan, between May 19 and June 29, 1996. Similar temporal patterns of some major ion (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chloride, and sulfate) concentrations between snow and aerosol show that snow chemistry basically reflects changes in the chemistry of the atmosphere. This gives us confidence in the reconstruction of past atmospheric change using some snow data. There are no significant correlations between aerosol and snow samples for ammonium and nitrate. This suggests that postdepositional and/or postcollection processes may alter ammonium and …

A Symposium On 'Controls On Soil Resoration: Implications For Climate Change'; October 27-28, 1997; Anaheim, Ca, Lindsey E. Rustad
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
The potential disruption of global C cycles by human activity in both developed and developing counties is one of the key environmental issues facing human populations as we move into the 21st century. Deforestation of tropical rainforests, changes in land-use, and continued burning of fossil fuels have resulted in an unprecedented increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations over the last half century. This has raised concerns about potential global warming and climate change, and consequences for further disruptions of the global C cycle. Soil respiration, which represents the combined respiration of roots and soil micro- and macro- biota, represents one of …

An Intelligent Reactive Controller For Ocean Science Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Roy M. Turner
An Intelligent Reactive Controller For Ocean Science Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Roy M. Turner
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
Most of the research activities performed during this grant period had to do with designing and implementing the Orca intelligent autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) controller. This entailed a requirements analysis early in the project, followed by the design and implementation of the program. The latter two activities were interleaved; Orca was designed and implemented in a phased manner, with each new version of the program having more functionality.
