The Joint Influence of ENSO and NAO on US Landfalling Hurricanes and their Origination Points
… anomalies were then examined in addition to hurricane landfall and origination locations (i.e., the position hurricane strength is achieved) to see if atmospheric anomalies could account for relationships between ENSO and NAO or landfalling hurricanes and their formation regions. This …

Proxy records of paleohurricanes for the western and southern caribbean
… 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 …

Resilience of power distribution systems under extreme weather conditions
… impact of adverse weather, with an emphasis on hurricanes, is studied. This research investigates the effects of failures of utility wood poles on the reliability and resilience of electric distribution systems. The probability model of wood pole failures is used to develop an outage prediction …

Investigation of the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Tropical Cyclone Storm Surge under Sea Level Rise
… and prediction of surge before a hurricane landfall show that a dimensionless relationship between intensity scaled surge magnitude and wind-duration scaled surge timing may effectively be used for rapid and reliable forerunner surge forecasting. Investigation of how probabilistic …

Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of a Coastal Lagoon in Southwestern Dominican Republic
… The 150.5–153 cm band provides evidence of a hurricane landfall at 1022 ± 60 YBP. The combination of biological data from 165–183.5 cm and sediments within the 183.5–185.5 cm band provide evidence for salinity fluctuations that indicate the closure of the lake. Sediments contained a variety of …

Response of the Texas coast to global change: Geologic versus historic timescales
… along the upper Texas coast. It appears that hurricane washover and offshore sand deposits are minimal sand sinks, while flood-tidal deltas are areas of significant sand sequestration. Additionally, it appears that damming of rivers has had only a minimal effect on sedimentation along the …

Microbiome-centered Approaches to Marine Disturbance Ecology
… from the researchers’ perspective (e.g. hurricanes, contamination, etc.). In this dissertation, I investigate ecological disturbances using a microbiome-centered approach focusing on the role of perturbation in shaping marine microbial assemblies. In my first chapter, I provide an …

Low Frequency Edge Waves and Their Role In Coastal Dynamics
… South China Sea.</p> <p> The tropical cyclone's landfall can generate a coastal long-wave response sending a substantial sea surface undulation to hundreds miles away along the coastline. A set of numerical experiments has been performed to study the genesis, category, and propagation of such a …
