Tip-clearance effects in axial compressors
… by discrete disturbances that have been named ’blue holes’. The techniques developed as part of the work described in this thesis enable these disturbances to be investigated in detail. The experimental data gives strong evidence that the blue holes are caused by radial vortices, and this is …

High resolution sedimentary archives of past millennium hurricane activity in the Bahama Archipelago
… storm activity derived from sediment cores from blue holes on three islands in the Bahama Archipelago: South Andros, Long Island, and Middle Caicos. Dramatic differences between these records suggest localized controls on the hurricane patterns observed by each island. Thus, compiling these …

High resolution sedimentary archives of past millennium hurricane activity in the Bahama Archipelago
… past 1000 to 1500 years in sediment cores from blue holes on three islands in the Bahama Archipelago: South Andros Island, Long Island, and Middle Caicos Island. I explore the sensitivity of each site to coarse-grained sediment deposition for modern storms. I find that the local geomorphologic …

Near-Annual History of Subtropical North Atlantic Hurricane Activity Recorded in Blue Hole Successions
… archives using sediment successions from blue holes across the northern Bahamas. These individual reconstructions archive hurricane passage within a 50-115 km radius over the last 600 to 1700 years, and document dramatic multidecadal and centennial scale variability in local hurricane …
