So: Caribbean Marine Studies: The Journal of the Institute of Marine Affairs; 1(2):126-36, 1990. Ab: Reported fish kills for the period 1976-1990 for coastal waters and 1980 to 1990 for inland waters of Trinidad and Tobago were investigated. The location, extent, and possible causes of the kills; the organisms affected; and the quality of the aquatic environment were determined. Most of the fish kills in inland waters could be attributed to industrial effluents or the disposal or use of chemicals whereas those in the coastal waters could be attributed to waste or chemical spills, or natural processes such as oxygen depletion resulting from red tides and other algal blooms. Some inshore fish kills were preceded by schooling of the fish in small semi-enclosed bays. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 1268 Au: Reading, Alison J. Ti: Caribbean tropical storm activity over the past four centuries. So: International Journal of Climatology; 10(4):365-76, 1990. Ab: This paper examines the frequency and distribution of tropical cyclones and hurricanes throughout the Caribbean using data derived from written accounts, chronologies and published charts. Significant variation in favoured tracks and levels of cyclone activity are identified for the charted and pre-charted period. High levels of cyclone activity are suggested for the whole part of the Caribbean during the 1770s and 1780s, 1810s and 1930s to 1950s while troughs in activity are noted around the 1650s, 1740s, 1860s and during the early twentieth century. A noticeable drift eastward in favoured tracks is reported from the mid-twentieth century onwards, while data available so far this decade suggests a strong mid-latitude (15-25 degree N) preference by cyclones and hurricanes.

So: Journal of the Geological Society of Jamaica; 27: 45-51, 1990. Ab: Geologic, geomorphic and hydrologic factors combine to produce debris slides, debris flows and rockfalls along the Junction and Irish Town Roads, and deep rotational failures at Kintyre. Contributing factors to slope failures include reduction in shear resistance and shear strength in weathered materials by increase in pore water pressure; creation of discontinuities in soils by unequal binding of surface and sub-surface soil layers, and in rocks by shearing; artificial steepening of slopes following removal of lateral support and vegetation by road construction; undermining of slope by river erosion, and deep and accelerated weathering of rocks and soils by ground water. Inherent conditions at 'landslide` sites suggest a high probability of future failures, the timing and frequency of which will be determined by rainfall events. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

So: Watershed Conservation II; 56-61, 1990. Ab: Runoff plots are used in many developing countries for erosion studies. In the past, reports of plot studies concentrated mostly on presenting figures and statistics and less on explaining the background and the applicability of the results. This paper takes a rent angle and emphasis is on discussion of plot design and logics, management needs and particularly erosion phenomena and their implications for erosion control work. Its contents are based mainly on the experience obtained from the runoff plots in the steeplands of Jamaica, El Salvador and Thailand from the early Seventies to the mid Eighties. The paper finally recommends the need for international societies' efforts to support, coordinate and synthesize such experiments. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 1281 Au: Lamm, P. Ti: Saline intrusion: planning and management. So: Journal of the Geological Society of Jamaica; 27:11-6, 1990. Ab: The causes and effects of saline intrusion in Jamaica's aquifers are briefly reviewed. Of the three mathematical equations describing the behaviour of the freshwater/seawater interface, Ghyben-Herzberg's equation is considered inappropriate to Jamaica's coastal regions, and Bear and Dagan's equation for confined aquifers could not be applied to the 14 unconfined regional aquifers reviewed. The equation of Cooper et al. for unconfined aquifers with seepage face was applied to the calculation of submarine discharge (421 Mm3) to be set aside in the reference aquifers for the planned advance inland of the interface. Comparative results from the National Water Master Development Plan using Bear and Dagan's equation as 255 Mm3. Caution is recommended in implementing plans for advance of saline intrusion.

Th: Submitted to University of the West Indies Mona presented for the degree M. Phil. Ab: This study was carried out in order to evaluate the state of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in Jamaica's coastal environment. This was done by the analysis of various parameters which assessed the occurrences and levels of different forms of petroleum hydrocarbon residues. These were the analysis of the occurrence and levels of sticks/sheens; dissolved/dispersed petroleum hydrocarbons in the water column (DDPH); pelagic tar balls; stranded beach tar; residues accumulated in biota and sediments. The analytical methods used were carried out according to CARIPOL specifications. Residues were collected from 29 onshore beach stations, 2 offshore beach stations, six sea stations and four biota culture sites. Lo: UWI, Mona, Main Library.

Ab: The document is directed at policy-level personnel in the member states, international development banks, and technical cooperation agencies. It is divided into two main sections: part 1. presents general principles for integrating hazard management into development planning and project formulation. Its main intent is to establish two ideas: that the damage caused by natural hazards is great and growing but can be reduced; and that the best way to reduce the impact of natural hazardous events is in the context of integrated development planning. Part 11 is a set of guidelines for applying the methodologies of hazard management. Avoiding excessive detail, it is intended to provide decision-makers with enough orientation for discussing the issue with technical staff, reaching conclusions, and evaluating work accomplished.

The toxicological aspects will be oriented to considerations of hazard and exposure, two important elements in the impact assessment of toxic chemicals. These elements, apply whether the development question involves the marine, terrestrial, freshwater, home or work environment, and whether we are concerned about air pollutants or liquid or solid wastes.

Au: Wunderle, Joseph M. Jr; Lodge, D. Jean; Waide, Robert B. Ti: Short-term effects of Hurricane Gilbert on terrestrial bird populations on Jamaica. Pub: s.l.; s.n.; 1990. 54. Ab: Hurricane Gilbert struck Jamaica on 12 Sept. 1988 and swept through 10 habitats that we had previously sampled for bird populations and vegetation structure in Dec. 1987. We re-sampled these sites 4 months after the hurricane by replicating our baseline methods (point count censuses, mist netting, and vegetation measurements). The montane habitats we sampled had greater damage to vegetation structure than most of our lowland habitats, except mangroves. Montane forests also recovered more slowly than lowland forests, and were still largely defoliated four months after Gilbert. Correspondingly, the mean number of individuals of birds declined in three montane habitats (cloud forest, pine plantation, and coffee plantation) but increased in two lowland sites (wet limestone forest and mangroves); no changes were found in the remaining 5 lowland habitats. A higher proportion of populations declined in the mountains than in the lowlands, and evidence suggests that some of the declining montane species may have moved into less damaged patches of lowland habitats, such as wet limestone forest. Population declines in montane habitats were related to diet, with higher proportions of nectarivore and fruit/seedeater populations declining than insectivore populations. That population declines in montane habitats are related to diet suggest that Hurricane Gilbert's greatest stress on Jamaica's montane bird populations occurred after its passage, rather than during its impact. Our results suggest that frequent hurricanes may contribute to some of the commonly observed patterns of avian distribution in the Caribbean. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Transactions of the 12th Caribbean Geological Conference. Miami, Miami Geological Society, December 1990. 319-28. Co: 12th Caribbean Geological Conference; St. Croix, 7-11, Aug. 1989. Ab: The active volcanoes of the Lesser Antilles are characterised both by effusive eruptions producing lava flows and domes, and by explosive eruptions producing various types of pyroclastic deposits. Five major styles of explosive eruptions have been distinguished; these styles and their products are: Pelean - block and ash flows, dense andesite surges, ash and dust falls; St. Vincent - scoria and ash flows, scoriaceous sures, lapilli-, and ash-falls; Pinian- pumice and ash flows; ash hurricanes, pumiceous surges, lapilli-, and ash-falls; Asama - semi-vesicular block and ash flows; Phreatomagmatic/Phreatic - block flows, base surges, ash falls.

Au: Hendry, Malcolm D; Bacon, Peter R. Ti: Hurricane impacts on Caribbean beaches: the development of a data base and guidelines for coastal ara planning and management. So: In: Larue, David K. ed; Draper, Grenville. ed. Transactions of the 12th Caribbean Geological Conference. Miami, Miami Geological Society, December 1990. 5-9. Co: 12th Caribbean Geological Conference; St. Croix, 7 - 11, Aug. 1989. Ab: The incidence of severe Hurricanes in the Caribbean in recent years brings in to focus the need for informed decision making on pre-storm beach protection, coastal planning for beach development sites and post-storm renourishment and rehabilitation measures. This requirement is emphasised by the importance of beaches and the coastal zone in general in economies throughout the region, where tourism and residential development, particularly in the islands, depend heavily on coastal and in particular beach resources as a focus for activity. Our preliminary recommendations for data collection and interpretation include observations of the potential or observed tendency for sand bar formation and subsequent onshore migration as a result of storm events, and the time-frame in which this occurs. In addition, the potential for artificial and cost-effective beach renourishment measures at a site needs to be demonstrated particularly or a new development where post-storm sand bar migration may not occur. The development of a vulnerability index for possible hurricane impacts on beaches will be a useful addition to the tool kit of coastal managers and planners. While recognising the usual constraints of trained manpower, institutional structures and financial resources needed to advance data collection in this area, we suggest that development of a data base and guidelines for management of hurricane affected beaches can be conducted within the framework of existing coastal monitoring projects within individual territories; as part of ongoing regional programs such as UNEP climate change and IOCARIBE coastal geomorphology projects and consideration of these problems should be built in to all environmental impact assessments dealing with coastal area development.

Au: Rao, R. Prasada; Ramanathan, R. Ti: Tectonics and petroleum potential of Belize. So: In: Larue, David K. ed; Draper, Grenville. ed. Transactions of the 12th Caribbean Geological Conference. Miami, Miami Geological Society, December 1990. 523-7. Co: 12th Caribbean Geological Conference; St. Croix, 7-11, Aug. 1989. Ab: Belize falls in the southern edge of the North American plate. Three structural units could be discerned - the Belize Basin in the south which is contiguous with the South Peten Basin, the Central Maya Block comprising Paleozoic meta-sediments and granites, and the Corozal Basin in the north which is the southern continuation of the Yucatan Platform and the eastern continuation of the North Peten Basin. The Belize Basin is structurally complex with folded sediments and thrusts. The Corozal Basin however is characterised by normal faults some of which appear to have strike slip movements. The regional tectonic framework is one of ancestral basins and rifts known to have formed in Pennsylvanaian - Triassic interval. From Jurassic to Mid-Cretaceous the area was surrounded by extensive carbonate shelves, later obliterated at places by Tertiary clastic wedges of deltaic origin. Source rocks appear to be Jurassic to Middle Cretaceous whereas accumulations are likely to be in Middle Cretaceous. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. Yüklə 2,03 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
