Coasts worldwide experience considerable population pressure and the demand for reliable
hazard management, such as of tsunamis, increases. Tsunami hazard assessment requires …

Recent research has proposed that human-induced sea surface temperature (SST) warming
has led to an increase in the intensity of hurricanes over the past 30 years. However, this …

Deciphering how the climate system has controlled North Atlantic tropical cyclone activity
through the Holocene will require a larger observational network of prehistoric hurricane …

Available overwash records from coastal barrier systems document significant variability in
North Atlantic hurricane activity during the late Holocene. The same climate forcings that …

Abstract A 5.25‐m sediment core SRM‐1 and 45 surface samples from mangrove forests at
the Shark River Estuary in the Everglades National Park, Florida, were examined by using X …

A sediment core from a lagoon in southeastern Cuba was the focus of a multi-proxy
paleoenvironmental study to investigate lagoon response to sea-level change and climate …

Beach ridges originate from various depositional processes and occur in a variety of
settings. This paper assesses their nature and distribution on the islands of the Greater …

Hurricanes have serious impacts on human lives and infrastructure, especially as a result of
flooding caused by storm surge and precipitation. To better prepare coastal populations for …

We report an intertidal, bone-rich peat deposit on the windward (Atlantic Ocean) coast of
Abaco, The Bahamas. The age of the Gilpin Point peat (c. 950–900 cal. yr BP) is based on …

Cyclonic storms (often called hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones) often cause population
declines in vulnerable bird species, and the intensity of these storms appears to be …
