Sequence stratigraphy of a South Florida carbonate ramp and bounding siliciclastics (late Miocene-Pliocene) Sequence stratigraphy of a South Florida carbonate ramp and bounding siliciclastics (late Miocene-Pliocene)
In southern peninsular Florida, a late-early to early-late Pliocene carbonate ramp (Ochopee Limestone Member of the Tamiami Formation) is sandwiched between underlying marine siliciclastics of the late Miocene to early Pliocene Peace River Formation and an overlying late Pliocene unnamed sand. At least three depositional sequences (DS1, DS2, and DS3), of which two contain condensed...

Marine recreation and public health microbiology: Quest for the ideal indicator Marine recreation and public health microbiology: Quest for the ideal indicator
Four-fifths of the population of the United States live in close proximity to the oceans or Great Lakes, and approximately 100 million Americans use the marine environment for recreation each year (Thurman 1994). Consequently, contamination of lakes, rivers, and coastal waters raises significant public health issues. Among the leading sources of chemical and biological contamination of...

South China Sea South China Sea
The South China Sea is poorly understood in terms of its marine biota, ecology and the human impacts upon it. What is known is most often contained in reports and workshop and conference documents that are not available to the wider scientific community. The South China Sea has an area of some 3.3 million km2 and depths range from the shallowest coastal fringe to 5377 m in the Manila...

Applications of satellite ocean color sensors for monitoring and predicting harmful algal blooms Applications of satellite ocean color sensors for monitoring and predicting harmful algal blooms
The new satellite ocean color sensors offer a means of detecting and monitoring algal blooms in the ocean and coastal zone. Beginning with SeaWiFS (Sea Wide Field-of-view Sensor) in September 1997, these sensors provide coverage every 1 to 2 days with 1-km pixel view at nadir. Atmospheric correction algorithms designed for the coastal zone combined with regional chlorophyll algorithms...

Bayesian analysis of U.S. hurricane climate Bayesian analysis of U.S. hurricane climate
Predictive climate distributions of U.S. landfalling hurricanes are estimated from observational records over the period 1851–2000. The approach is Bayesian, combining the reliable records of hurricane activity during the twentieth century with the less precise accounts of activity during the nineteenth century to produce a best estimate of the posterior distribution on the annual rates...
