Last millennium hurricane activity linked to endogenous climate variability

“…1 A. Bolded records were included in the original Mann et al 22 compilation. (1) New England (Salt Pond, MA 48 ; Mattapoisett Marsh, MA 49 , 50 ; Succotash Marsh, Rhode Island 51 ), (2) Mid-Atlantic coast (Alder Island, New York 52 ; Whale Beach, New Jersey 53 ; Brigantine, New Jersey 54 ; Seguine Pond, New York 55 ), (3) Southeast coast (Singleton Swash, South Carolina 39 ), (4) Gulf Coast (Appalachee Bay, Florida—Mullet Pond 27 ; Shotgun Pond 29 ; Spring Creek Pond 56 ), (5) Gulf Coast (Choctawhatchee Bay, Florida—Basin Bayou 29 ), (6) Abaco and Grand Bahama (Thatchpoint Blue Hole 24 ; Blackwood Sink Hole 57 ), (7) South Andros Island, The Bahamas (AM4, AM2, AM5 blue holes) 23 , (8) Long Island, The Bahamas 26 , (9) Middle Caicos Island, Turks & Caicos 40 , (10) Vieques, Puerto Rico 14 , (11) the Northeast Yucatan Peninsula (Cenote Muyil) 58 , and (12) Lighthouse Reef Blue Hole, Belize 28 .…”

More Frequent Hurricane Passage Across the Bahamian Archipelago During the Little Ice Age

“…Records of Atlantic hurricane impacts have been extended back in time using historical archives (Chenoweth & Divine, 2008; García‐Herrera et al., 2005; Trouet et al., 2016) and proxy based reconstructions from the Northeastern Atlantic (Boldt et al., 2010; Brandon et al., 2014; Castagno et al., 2021; Donnelly et al., 2001a, 2001b, 2015; Mallinson et al., 2011; Yang et al., 2020), the Gulf of Mexico (Brandon et al., 2013; Bregy et al., 2018; Lane et al., 2011; Liu & Fearn, 1993, 2000; Rodysill et al., 2020; Toomey et al., 2017), Yucatan Peninsula (Baldini et al., 2016; Denomee et al., 2014; Gischler et al., 2013; McCloskey & Liu, 2012; Schmitt et al., 2020; Sullivan et al., 2022), and subtropical North Atlantic (Biguenet et al., 2021; Toomey et al., 2013; van Hengstum et al., 2016). However, large gaps remain in spatial coverage across the Atlantic and most regions lack sufficient reconstructions to assess record reproducibility.…”

“…The orange line is the average of all 6 Bahamian reconstructions from Figure4, wherein hurricanes/century was standardized for each record (BHAC stand-6 ). 1700-year compilations of storm events from (c) New England (NE comp , green) that includes records from Salt Pond, MA (dark green circles;Donnelly et al, 2015) and Mattapoisett Marsh (dark green squares;Boldt et al, 2010;Castagno et al, 2021), and (d) northwest Florida GoM Coast (FGoM comp , red) including records from Mullet Pond, FL (red circles;Lane et al, 2011), Spring Creek Pond (red triangles;Brandon et al, 2013), Shotgun Pond (light red squares;Rodysill et al, 2020) and Basin Bayou (dark red squares;Rodysill et al, 2020). Compilation methods are detailed inWallace et al (2021b).…”

Analysis of Sedimentation as Implications of Beach Accretion using Spatial Analysis in the Coastal Area of Banyuasin South Sumatra, Indonesia

“…A mathematical model that describes the distribution of river sediments during uneven movement in the structure has been developed, which is characteristic of this model. The distribution of sediment in rivers depends on the fraction (Arifjanov et al, 2019) (Castagno et al, 2021) analyzing grain size trends in sediments caused by storms along the core sediment transect originating from the estuary at Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, and also characterizing sorting trends and comparing sediment associated with the occurring storms. Furthermore (Attal, 2015) (Duy & Dinh, 2018) provided a relationship between land steepness and grain size distribution originating from higher ground locations and towards the fluvial sedimentdominated lowland locations, where the study sites were in the Feather River basin of Northern California, tonalite lithology, the roughness hillside sediment increases with increasing steepness of the hillside and the increasing rate of coastal erosion.…”
