Sedimentation Dynamics Of Tidal Inlets, Clifford R. Merz, Panagiotis D. Scarlatos
Sedimentation Dynamics Of Tidal Inlets, Clifford R. Merz, Panagiotis D. Scarlatos
Marine Science Faculty Publications
Tidal inlets are very dynamic systems subject to continuous morphological changes under the action of tides, waves and transported sediments. Although flow and sediment dynamics are interactive, for simplicity, they can be decoupled. By accounting only for astronomic tidal effects, the flood cycle can be approximated by means of potential flow toward a sink while the ebb by the hydrodynamics of a plane jet. Using flow field simulation data, the amount and distribution of the moving sediment can be quantified by employing existing methods for estimation of bedload and suspended sediment transport. The applicability of the model is tested against …

John U. Lloyd Beach State Recreation Area Nature Guide, Nsu Oceanographic Center
Technical Reports
John U. Lloyd State Park is a 251 acre recreation area located on Ocean Drive in Dania, Broward County, Florida. The park is adjacent to Port Everglades and has a beach front park spanning 2.5 miles. It preserves some of south Florida's vanishing natural resources, while at the same time offers the public usage of beach and water recreational activities. Surf fishing, picknicking, and canoeing along the tidal waterway New River Sound or Whiskey Creek are just some of the activities the public can enjoy.
The recreation area was named in memory of the late John U. Lloyd, Broward County's …

This study reports on the δ18O and δ13C composition of the skeleton from a 240-year-old specimen of Montastraea faveolata growing in Biscayne National Park, South Florida. Annual variations in the δ18O of the skeleton deposited during the summer months show a bimodal correlation with summer rainfall. During wetter years, the δ18O of the coral skeleton and the amount of precipitation during the summer months are inversely correlated (r = -0. 7) reflecting dilution of the seawater by meteoric water lower in δ18O. During years in which summer rainfall is less …
