Possible effects of recent changes in sea level on the biota of a Caribbean reef flat and predicted effects of rising sea levels in Proceedings. Volume 3. Symposia and seminars.
Prediction of the changes in biota that would result on a semi-intertidal reef flat of Panama from a slight rise in sea level.

The book illustrates the history of sea level research on Barbados and presents new geomorphic and geochronologic investigations of the island's fossil coral reef terraces. The textbook comprises six chapters, ranging from a general overview
Late Holocene changes in precipitation and hydrography recorded in marine sediments from the northeastern CaribbeanSea

The AA. present a record of climate variability spanning the last 2000 years obtained from sediment cores retrieved south and west of Puerto Rico in the northeastern CaribbeanSea. The records include lithological and mineral magnetic parameters

Frequentslope failures of the forereef dropoff occur in living coral reefs on the island of Bonaire in the southern Caribbean. Topographic profiles of 10 sites were taken perpendicular to shore, followed by an estimation of coral ages along
This paper aims to reconstruct late Holocene environmental changes in Altona Bay, St. Croix, northeastern Caribbean. By using sedimentological and geochemical data on a radiocarbon dated sediment core in combination with pollen analysis
and foraminiferal studies, the AA. aim to assess the relative importance of longer-term processes associated with (late) Holocene sea level rise and natural hazard events contributing to the environmental development of the study site.

the Cainozoic era in Cuba and in the Caribbean as well. Both of these processes – uplifts and sea-level changes – involve a particular problem closely linked with the reconstruction of bolsa stages. That means it is necessary to differentiate not only regionally
but also chronologically. Evidence suggests that the sediments of the bolsas keep records of a long landscape history and even of eustatic medium-term sea-level changes. The AA. assume that the conditions of the sedimentation changed gradually during
Reef growth and sea-level change: The environmental signature in Proceedings. Volume 3. Symposia and seminars.
Great contrast occurs between the sea-level signatures of the Caribbean (continuous Holocene rise) and the southern Pacific (almost a standstill for some 6000 years). In both regions, however, there may be responses in terms of reef growth
and ultimately reef structure, independent of the direction and rate of sea-level change, with reefs responding to the Holocene transgression by keeping-up, while other reefs catch-up or give-up. The use of sea level marks in the interpretation of ancient reefs
Tropical cyclogenesis in the Intra-Americas Sea : Hurricane Cindy (2005)
The tropical cyclogenesis (TCG) of Atlantic Hurricane Cindy (2005) is investigated to study environmental conditions preceding mesoscale vortex development in the Intra-Americas Sea (IAS; i.e., the Gulf of Mexico and CaribbeanSea) using the ERA
