Eogenetic karst hydrology: insights from the 2004 hurricanes, peninsular Florida.
Eogenetic karst lies geographically and temporally close to the depositional environment of limestone in warm marine water at low latitude, in areas marked by midafternoon thunderstorms during a summer rainy season. Spring hydrographs from such an environment in north-central Florida are characterized by smooth, months-long, seasonal maxima. The passage of Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne in Septe...
متن کاملComparisons of the 1995 and 1998 coral bleaching events on the patch reefs of San Salvador Island, Bahamas.
Coral patch reefs around San Salvador Island, Bahamas have been monitored with the aid of Earthwatch volunteers three times a year since 1992. During that period two significant mass bleaching events occurred: autumn 1995, and late summer 1998. Elsewhere in 1995, bleaching was caused by higher-than-normal summer sea temperatures; in San Salvador, however, temperatures were normal. In 1998 a pro...
متن کاملA Composite Trace Fossil of Decapod and Hymenopteran Origin in the Rice Bay Formation (holocene), San Salvador, Bahamas
Composite trace fossils are the product of two or more species of tracemakers. In many instances, such traces are also caused by different tracemaker behaviors and by tracemakers with different environmental requirements. In this study, composite trace fossils from eolianites of the Holocene Rice Bay Formation, San Salvador, Bahamas are examined. These trace fossils are likely decapod dwelling ...
متن کاملOrigin Of Calcareous Sediments in the Holocene Pigeon Creek Tidal Lagoon and Tidal Delta, San Salvador Island, Bahamas
A sedimentological survey of the southwest arm of the Holocene Pigeon Creek tidal lagoon on San Salvador Island, Bahamas was conducted to determine the origin and distribution of calcareous sediments. Transect surveys, surface samples, and sediment cores were collected and examined to determine the abundance and distribution of sediments and sediment producers in the lagoon and associated tidal...
متن کاملComplex decapod burrows and ecological relationships in modern and Pleistocene intertidal carbonate environments, San Salvador Island, Bahamas
Burrowing by thalassinidean shrimp in modern tropical, shallow-subtidal to intertidal carbonate environments is widespread and a powerful agent of bioturbation, particularly within sandy substrates. Deep and intense burrowing by callianassids commonly occurs along the intertidal margins of hypersaline lagoons throughout the Bahamas, such as Pigeon Creek on San Salvador Island, where the sedimen...
