Inventory And Geometric Analysis Of Flank Margin Caves Of The Bahamas, Monica J. Roth Aug 2004

Inventory And Geometric Analysis Of Flank Margin Caves Of The Bahamas, Monica J. Roth

Theses and Dissertations

Flank margin caves are karst features that develop in the freshwater/saline mixing zone within the carbonate islands of the Bahamas. The flank margin caves that are currently exposed developed during the last interglacial sea level highstand (+6 m; ~125 ka). Initially small ovid chambers, the caves increase in size to about 100 m2, then interconnect with adjacent chambers to form medium-sized caves. At about 1000 m2, these medium-size caves interlink forming large caves that are laterally extensive, vertically restricted, do not penetrate the fresh-water lens a significant amount, and run parallel to the axis of the ridge in which they …
