WHOI Theses

WHOI's educational role, at the graduate level, was formalized in 1968 with a change in its charter and the signing of an agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a Joint Program leading to doctoral (Ph.D. or Sc.D.) or engineer's degrees. Joint master's degrees are also offered in selected areas of the program. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is also authorized to grant doctoral degrees independently.

New theses are added as they are published.

Transformations of mercury in the marine water column

Munson, Kathleen M. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2014-02)

Methylation of mercury (Hg) in the marine water column has been hypothesized to serve as the primary source of the bioaccumulating chemical species monomethylmercury (MMHg) to marine food webs. Despite decades of research ...
Amundsen Sea sea-ice variability, atmospheric circulation, and spatial variations in snow isotopic composition from new West Antarctic firn cores

Criscitiello, Alison S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2014-02)

Recent work has documented dramatic changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) over the past 30 years (e.g., mass loss, glacier acceleration, surface warming) due largely to the influence of the marine environment. ...
The biogeochemistry of marine particulate trace metals

Ohnemus, Daniel C. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2014-02)

Marine particles include living and non-living solid components of seawater, representing a dynamic and chemically diverse mixture of phases. Through a combination of method development, basin-scale particulate collection ...
Quaternary morphology and paleoenvironmental records of carbonate islands

Toomey, Michael R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2014-02)

Here I use a simple numerical model of reef profile evolution to show that the presentday morphology of carbonate islands has developed largely in response to late Pleistocene sea level oscillations in addition to variable ...
Temporal variability in chemical cycling of the subterranean estuary and associated chemical loading to the coastal ocean

Gonneea, Meagan E. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2014-02)

At the land-ocean interface, terrestrial groundwater interacts with seawater to form a subterranean estuary, which can play host to dynamic biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, trace metals and radionuclides. This ...
