Models Describing The Sea Level Rise In Key West, Florida, Karm-Ervin Jean
Models Describing The Sea Level Rise In Key West, Florida, Karm-Ervin Jean
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Lately, we have been noticing an unusual rise in the sea level near many Floridian cities. By 2060, scientists believe that the sea level in the city of Key West will reach between 22.86 to 60.96 centimeters (Strauss et al. 2012). The consequences of sea level rise are unpleasant by gradually tearing away our beaches and natural resources, destroying our homes and businesses, etc. Definitively, a continual increase of the sea level will affect everyone either directly or indirectly.
In this study, the sea level measurements of four Floridian coastal cities (including Key West) are collected in order to describe …
Reconstruction Of Brooksville Ridge Cave Temperatures From Speleothem Samples, Amor Elder
Reconstruction Of Brooksville Ridge Cave Temperatures From Speleothem Samples, Amor Elder
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two
A problem was proposed to use an adjusted version of Dorale's speleothem delta function to model the temperature fluctuations in the Brooksville Ridge Cave from the Medieval Warm Period to the present. The temperature values reconstructed by the model can be compared to the known temperature trend during the same selected time period. If the results matched the trend, it indicates that the cave's temperature was the dominant influence. If not, a different variable was the main influence of the cave.
Using δ18O values gathered from a speleothem, past temperatures of the cave were modeled. Results show that …
