This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 32 (thesis year 1987) a total of 12,483 theses titles from 22 Canadian and 176 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 32 reports theses submitted in 1987, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The field of paleotempestology has gained more awareness in the past decade as a result of increased hurricane intensity, quantity, and duration within the late Holocene. One of the best localities to find records of hurricane overwash deposits is in the Bahamian islands. San Salvador Island, Bahamas (SSI) is a small (150km2), isolated carbonate platform, that contains shallow (0.5-3m) saline lakes that occur in between interdune areas of arcuate dune ridges. Due to San Salvador Island's location within the Bahamian archipelago and the Atlantic Ocean, the island is poised to record hurricane strikes and the record of these events can be found in coastal lakes. Clear Pond is a shallow (~1m), variably saline (16-30 ppt) lake in the southwestern edge of the island, that is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by Holocene dunes. It was a previously uncharacterized pond, but like many other depositional environments on San Salvador, it is constantly recording climatic and anthropogenic changes on the island. This study addresses the following questions: 1) Is there a seasonal salinity variation within the pond and what is the general limnology of the pond, 2) Can we identify large storm events in the sedimentary record of Clear Pond, and 3) What is the depositional history for Clear Pond for the past 4000 years? Nine sediment cores, ranging in length from 50 to 150 cm, were recovered from Clear Pond. The cores were analyzed for organic and carbonate content, dry bulk density, grain size, sediment fabric, and mollusk and ostracode composition. Additionally, x-ray fluorescence, spectrophotometry, and x-radiography were carried out on sediment cores. Salinity varied from brackish conditions in the summer and fall to more marine during the winter and spring seasons. It was also influenced by a previously uncharacterized karst conduit. Large storm events were identified through an increase in grain size and dry bulk density, and additionally by x-radiographs. A catastrophic hurricane recurrence interval of 478 years and an annual landfall probability of 0.21% were found as well. The record of Clear Pond indicates an average sedimentation rate of 2.3 cm/ 100 years which suggests the record recovered is at least 5200 years old. These cores record a major climatic shift occurring at 1460 ybp which correlates with the end of a documented Caribbean dryness period. The facies shift is from a sand and mud laminated facies to a recent, massive bioturbated facies. The record documents multiple hurricane strikes from 1600-3400 ybp which supports a hurricane 'hyperactivity period' from 1000- 3000 ybp from other areas in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. These large storm events are linked to two large-scale climate mechanisms, the location of the Bermuda high and the strength of the North Atlantic Oscillation. The ability to characterize and identify past overwash deposits in the Bahamas may be useful in climate reconstruction and landfall probability assessments. These results are the first proxy records for hurricane strikes on the west coast of San Salvador Island."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 175. Although isolated and small in size, San Salvador Island is in many ways a unique place—an all carbonates setting on a small, tectonically stable platform, surrounded by deep oceanic waters, and an historical footnote as the widely accepted first landing site of Christopher Columbus in the New World in 1492. Columbus' stay here was brief, and the major events of subsequent history largely have passed San Salvador by. This is not a tourist island; the natural beauty, floras, and faunas of the Bahamas are well preserved here. The overview theme of this series of field excursions on San Salvador will be interpretation of paleodepositional environments for the well-exposed Pleistocene and Holocene carbonate rocks that cap the island and recognition of modem analogues from the varied carbonate environments found on the island and its surrounding shelf. Questions of sea level history, diagenetic change, and the surficial processes operating on carbonate island terranes also will be considered. Our trip will begin with a low-attitude overflight to view features of the main Bahama platform enroute to San Salvador, which lies just beyond the eastern edge of the platform.
