Proxy records of paleohurricanes for the western and southern caribbean
<p>This dissertation evaluates the hypothesis that hurricane activity levels in the North Atlantic during the late Holocene have been driven by latitudinal movements of the North Atlantic circulation system. Multi-millennial sedimentary proxy records, based on the occurrence of overwash clastic …

A meta-analysis of Holocene fluvial activity in the Southeastern U.S.
… increased flood probability with reconstructed paleohurricanes from over-wash deposits in Lake Shelby, Alabama. Notably, when one basin demonstrated increased fluvial activity in response to land-falling hurricanes, the other did not show increased fluvial activity at the same time suggesting …

Environmental drivers of coastal evolution
… coast. Chapter 3 explores interactions between paleohurricanes and evolving barrier coastlines, examining how coastal development influences the deposition and preservation of sedimentary paleohurricane records that can be used to understand long-term storm recurrence. Chapter 4 reconstructs the …

High resolution sedimentary archives of past millennium hurricane activity in the Bahama Archipelago
Little is known about how Atlantic hurricane activity changes on long timescales. This thesis uses proxy development and proxy-model integration to constrain the spatiotemporal variability in hurricane activity in the Bahama Archipelago over the past millennium. I present annually-resolved archives …
