The impacts of Trade Wind intensification and moderate hurricanes on beach sediment balance have been analysed from a study of time variations of the sediment volume of Bagasse Beach and its shoreface, on the island of Martinique (French West Indies). Fie... see more

Hurricanes have played a critical role in the transgressive evolution of Louisiana's barrier islands and may account for up to 90% of shoreline retreat measured within the historic (102 years) time frame. Since 1901, some 55 tropical storms or hurricanes ... see more

Studies of wind waves in the shallow water require the input of deep water wave characteristics. Under hurricane conditions, a parameter called the radius of maximum wind, R, is needed for deep water wave generation. Although literature states that the ty... see more

The potential for damage from hurricanes landfalling in Mexico is assessed. During the 1951-2000 period, Pacific hurricane hits were more frequent on coastal areas of the northwest of the country (e.g., Sinaloa and the southern half of Baja California ... see more

Conociendo que la Isla de la Juventud es un territorio vulnerable a los huracanes tropicales, se presenta en el estudio realizado para la reducción de desastres en el sistema eléctrico, utilizando el Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG) como herramient... see more

In recent years, Jamaica has been seriously affected by a number of extreme meteorological events. The one discussed here, Hurricane Dean, passed along the south coast of the island in August 2007, damaging crops and disrupting livelihood activities for m... see more

Two of the most important tropical cyclone parameters, which are used as a measure of their intensity, are the maximum surface wind speed (local parameter) and the pressure difference between the free atmosphere and the pressure in the center of the storm... see more

Submarine sandbars were deposited on the post-storm subaerial beach at Carrabelle Beach, Florida, by Hurricanes Elena and Kate in 1985. These bars contained stratification similar to swash bars and berms, as well as an unusual stratification consisting of... see more

Placement of sand on coastal beaches (nourishment) has been used to reduce losses from storm erosion and barrier island movement, with sediment coming from a variety of potential sources including offshore borrow areas. We examined recovery of benthic fau... see more
