Ab: The right choice of a statistical distribution to model peak flows series is essential to reliable delineation of flood prone areas. The Jamaican government is engaged in mapping such areas along its main streams and an analysis has been performed to determine what that best choice would be. Three known statistical distributions were compared: the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), the Log-Pearson III (LP3) and the Three-parameter Log-Normal (LN3). Using as selection criteria prediction of each distribution applied to Jamaican streamflow records, the conclusion was reached that the Log Pearson III as well as the GEV distribution would be suitable choices, although the latter has the advantage of being more flexible.

Ti: Framework for formulating hurricane mitigation guidelines in Caribbean agriculture: draft proposal. Pub: Blacksburg; Virginia Polytechnic Institute; 1987. 11. Ab: A proposal to conduct a project to provide a comprehensive framework for formulating disaster mitigation guidelines. Natural hazards, particularly hurricanes and tropical storms, occasion considerable damage to Caribbean agriculture with the attendant social dislocation and economic retardation to these island economies. In spite of its significant contribution to employment and foreign exchange, the agricultural sector has received little attention in disaster planning in the Caribbean. This situation can be attributed to the lack of guidelines for informing the planning process. This project aims at redressing that gap in the disaster planning process. The project will involve (a) a survey of the perceptions and adjustments of farmers to hurricanes and storms and (b) an evaluation of disaster plans and policies and their mode of delivery.

PCDPPP; 1987. 67. Ab: Twenty one buildings were surveyed to assess their vulnerability to the natural hazards of floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. Most of the police and fire stations were between 30 and 50 years cold mainly of loadbearing masonry construction with lightweight roofs. Under hurricane conditions, the roofs, exposed glass windows and doors will be the most vulnerable elements in these buildings. Except for the police stations recently constructed, the buildings surveyed were all vulnerable to earthquake loads. Recommendations are made re. retrofitting for hurricanes and improved drainage but retrofitting for earthquake resistance was considered cost prohibitive.

Ab: Emily (1987) was the first hurricane in the Caribbean Sea since Katrina (1981). Emily was a small hurricane but will be remembered because of its impact on the Dominican Republic as well as its acceleration and sudden strengthening before hitting Bermuda. There was considerable damage to the banana industry on St. Vincent, and the farm industry in the Dominican Republic was seriously hurt - part of some $30 million in damages there. Bermuda suffered some $35 million in damages as some 200 homes had major roof damage. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency. ID: 926 Au: Dominica.

Au: Shepherd, John B. Ti: Earthquake and volcanic hazard assessment and monitoring in the Commonwealth Caribbean - current status and needs for the future. Pub:St. Augustine; University of the West Indies, Seismic Research Unit; 1987. 20. Ab: A brief assessment is given of the levels of seismic and volcanic hazard in the Commonwealth West Indian countries. It is shown that the total loss of life and damage to property from these types of disaster in the historical period has exceeded that caused by all other natural disasters. Damage and loss of life caused by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have, however, been concentrated in a small number of comparatively rare events so that public awareness of these hazards is probably lower than it is of other potential natural disasters. Results of hazard assessments which have already been carried out are described briefly and the systems of monitoring which are currently in operation are described. Generally speaking the current levels of monitoring are adequate. A notable exception is Jamaica where there is an urgent need for upgrading of the seismic monitoring system. Elsewhere in the region the prime need is for more training of young scientists in the techniques of assessment of these types of hazard.

Ab: Presenta las cartas de corrientes superficiales alrededor de Cuba en las épocas de primavera y otoño, basadas en tres cruceros de investigación efectuados. Concluye que la dirección de las corrientes presentan variaciones por costas y época del año, siendo la parte noroccidental de la Isla la zona más estable. En la costa sur las corrientes son más complejas, existiendo intercambios de agua con la plataforma, así como variaciones en la dirección de las corrientes que forman giros ciclónicos y anticiclónicos. Las mayores velocidades se registran en las zonas cercanas a las costas y en los centros de circulaciones ciclónicas y anticiclónicas, alcanzando los mayores valores (459 cm/seg. y 486 cm/seg.) al norte de Pinar del Río y La Habana respectivamente.

Ab: The vulnerability of island ecosystems to natural disasters was illustrated in the most dramatic way when Hurricane Gilbert raged across Jamaica on the 12/13 September 1988. It will be some time before the implications of the storm (said to be the most powerful ever recorded) for the natural environment can be assessed but preliminary impressions suggest that they may be very severe.

So: Voluntad Hidráulica; 25(79):39-46, 1988. Ab: Expone mediante tres muestreos los efectos del huracán "Kate" sobre la calidad del agua de la lagunade La Leche. Los resultados demostraron que el paso del huracán aumentó la descomposición de la materia orgánica arrastrada, lo cual se constató por el aumento de la DBO y la DQO y la disminución de oxígeno disuelto, el pH y la alcalinidad. Esta materia orgánica provocó la gran producción de nutrientes minerales, que produjeron un desarrollo explosivo de las aguas con un incremento de las concentraciones de oxígeno disuelto y del pH, y un descenso en los valores de la DBO y la DBQ. Los resultados reflejan también un proceso de dilución de las aguas, que ocasiona una disminución de los coliformes totales y fecales. Plantea que el huracán "Kate" originó un mejoramiento de la calidad del agua de la laguna La Leche, evidenciándose en la disminución de los organismos coliformes primero y, posteriormente, en el amplio desarrollo del fito y zooplanctón observado en el mes de marzo de 1986.

So: Journal of the Geological Society of London; 145(4):541-51, 1988. Ab: We have used a digital model of the topography of Montserrat, a simple mathematical model of gravitational flow and some assumptions of the way in which the next eruption will develop to create a map of the volcanic hazards from Soufriere Hills Volcano. This has been done using an image processing computer to simulate the deposits produced by pyroclastic flows. This technique has the advantages over more traditional cartographic methods of spatial precision, rapid compilation of multiple eruption models and the explicit nature of the physical model used. Soufriere Hills Volcano is a small andesitic volcano characterised by a cluster of summit domes and an apron of pyroclastic flow deposits and mudflows upon which several thousand people now live. Most of the flanks were covered by deposits from a series of eruptions from 24,000 to 16,000 a BP, though there is some evidence that dome growth and small pyroclastic flows have occurred since. The modelling is constrained by field evidence from the deposits of previous eruptions. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 941 Au: Fritz-Sheridan, R. P; Coxson, D. S. Ti: Nitrogen fixation on a tropical volcano La Soufriere (Guadeloupe): the interaction of temperature, moisture, and light with net photosynthesis and nitrogenease activity in stereocaulon virgatum and response to periods of insolation shock. So: Biotechnologist; 20(1):63-81, 1988. Ab: The response of net photosynthesis, dark respiration and acetylene reduction to temperature, moisture and light intensity were examined for Stereocaulon virgatum growing in the cloud/shroud zone on the tropical volcano La Soufriere, Guadeloupe, French West Indies. Rates for both acetylene reduction and net photosynthesis were maximal at saturating water contents, a pattern attributed to the finely branched nature of the phyllocladoid branchlets and the exposed position of spherical cephalodia, both of which minimize the formation of surface and interhyphal water films. Under conditions typical of those during cloud/shroud periods (13-16 C), thalli of S.virgatum exhibit many characteristics seen in other shade-tolerant lichen species. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

So: Geological Society of America Bulletin; 100: 1578-93, Oct. 1988. Ab: Drilling near the deformation front of the northern Barbados Ridge cred an accretionary prism consisting of imbricately thrusted Neogene hemipelagic sediments detached from little - deformed Oligocene to Campanian underthrust deposits by a decollement zone composed of lower Miocene to upper Oligocene, scaly radiolarian claystone.Biostratigrafically defined age inversions define thrust faults in the accretionary prism that correlate between sites and are apparent on the seismic reflection sections. Two sites located 12 and 17 km west of deformation front document containing deformation of the accreted sediments during their uplift. Deformational features include both large- and small- scale folding and continued thrust faulting with the development of stratal disruption, cataclastic shear zones, and the proliferation of scaly fabrics. These features, resembling structures of accretionary complexes exposed on land, have developed in sediments never buried. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. Yüklə 2,03 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
