Benthic Foraminiferal Assemblages From Marshes And Mangroves In The Everglades (South Florida, Usa) And Their Application As Proxies For Habitat Shifts Due To Sea Level Rise, Zoe Verlaak Mar 2019

Benthic Foraminiferal Assemblages From Marshes And Mangroves In The Everglades (South Florida, Usa) And Their Application As Proxies For Habitat Shifts Due To Sea Level Rise, Zoe Verlaak

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study examined benthic foraminifera from marsh and mangrove environments along the coasts of the Everglades in South Florida for their use as proxies for salinity and applied the results to assess the nature and rates of past habitat changes due to sea level rise over the last ~3400 years. Research on modern foraminiferal assemblages from the Everglades are scarce, and this is the first foraminifera-based paleoenvironmental study for this region.

The study of living assemblages examined the extent to which infaunal foraminifera bias modern and fossil assemblages, and which sediment interval should be used as a modern analog for …


Trend And Acceleration: A Multi-Model Approach To Key West Sea Level Rise, John Tenenholtz Nov 2017

Trend And Acceleration: A Multi-Model Approach To Key West Sea Level Rise, John Tenenholtz

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Sea level rise (SLR) varies depending on location. It is therefore important to local residents, businesses and government to analyze SLR locally. Further, because of increasing ice melt and other effects of climate change, rates of SLR may change. It is therefore also important to evaluate rates of change of SLR, which we call sea level acceleration (SLA) or deceleration.

The present thesis will review the annual average sea level data compiled at the Key West tidal gauge in Key West, Florida. We use a multi-model approach that compares the results of various models on that data set. The goal …

Sea Level Rise Collection

King Tides are the highest high tides in the year, usually peaking in the Spring and Fall. In South Florida, King Tides contribute to flooding along the coast and in other low-lying areas when the storm water system becomes overwhelmed with sea water. The water comes up through the sewer system, flooding streets and other areas. The tidal flood water can bring brackish water through storm drains inland.
