“…With the advancement of analytical techniques in recent years, many studies have started to utilize inorganic geochemical analysis such as X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) to identify the elevated marine signals in overwash deposits (Dietz et al., 2022; H. F. Williams et al., 2022; Yang et al., 2020; Yao et al., 2018, 2020). In addition, analyses of stable isotopes of bulk sedimentary organic matter (e.g., 13 C and 15 N) (Jahan et al., 2021) and micropaleontological proxies (e.g., diatoms, phytoliths, palynomorphs, foraminifera) (e.g., K. B. Liu et al., 2008; Lul & Liu, 2005; Scott et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2019; Xian et al., 2022) have also been used in paleotempestological studies.…”

Hurricanes are one of the most catastrophic earth surface processes that are responsible for almost 2 million fatalities worldwide over the past two centuries (Coronese et al., 2019;Shultz et al., 2005). Among the hurricane-prone regions in the North Atlantic Basin, South Florida is especially vulnerable to catastrophic hurricanes because it can be impacted by storms coming from the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico (GOM) regions. In the current literature, the pattern of future storm activities is still unclear. Although some studies project that the frequency of major hurricanes (category 3-5 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale) will increase under the warming climate (Bhatia et al., 2019;Emanuel, 2005), others suggest that the recurrence of intense storms is tied with the oceanic-atmospheric circulation patterns (
