Data report: geology of reef-front carbonate sediment deposits around Oahu, Hawaii
Sedimentation and bathymetric change in San Pablo Bay: 1856-1983
A long-term perspective of erosion and deposition in San Francisco Bay is vital to understanding and managing wetland change, harbor and channel siltation, and other sediment-related phenomena such as particle and particle-associated substance (pollutants, trace metals, etc.) transport and deposition. A quantitative comparison of historical hydrographic surveys provides this perspective. This repo

Data report: geology of reef-front carbonate sediment deposits around Oahu, Hawaii
This Open-File Report presents data and derivative products from an investigation of carbonate sediment deposits on the reef front in four areas around the island of Oahu, Hawaii - in Kailua Bay off Oahu's windward (east) side, off the leeward (west) coast from Makua to Kahe Point, off the north coast from Waimea to Camp Erdman, and off the south coast around Waikiki (Figure 1). The primary purposAuthorsMonty A. Hampton, Charles T. Blay, Christopher Murray, Laura Z. Torresan, Cathy S. Frazee, Bruce M. Richmond, Charles H.

Science Seminar Series
Welcome to the Pacific Coastal Marine Science Center (PCMSC) Seminar Series! Our seminars are on the first and third Tuesday of every month, usually from 10:00 – 11:00 am Pacific Time (1:00 - 2:00 pm Eastern) via Microsoft Teams. Please check each seminar announcement closely, as times may change. In addition, we also co-host a special “Coastal Change Hazards” seminar on the second Tuesday every...Science Seminar Series Archives
