So: Caribbean Geography; 5(2):92-101, Sept.1994. Co: Issues in Caribbean Sustainable Development Part 1; San Francisco, Mar./Apr.1995. Ab: It is argued that the region faces two major threats. The first is the possible impact of climate change, especially when juxtaposed with increasing demographic and residential pressures. The second involves the likely influences of globalization and conditions of postmodernity in the Caribbean. Some has suggested that postmodernity has little relevance in a context where nations are still striving to 'modernize'. However the present paper argues that this position overlooks the fact that the Caribbean plays host to thousands of first world tourists and multinational companies, many of which are associated with post modernity. Although postmodernism may in certain respects be seen as the liberating force associated with small-scale developments, it is argued that in the case of the Caribbean, its influence is largely to be interpreted in term of late capitalism. As such it may result in a further era of external control, exploitation and neocolonialism, and one which threatens to have major effects on the degree to which environmental sustainability and sustainable development are achievable in the Caribbean region.

Au: Robertson, Richard E. A. Ti: An assessment of the risk from future eruptions of the Soufriere Volcano of St. Vincent, West Indies. So: Natural Hazards; 11(2):163-91, Mar. 1995. Ab: The Soufriere volcano is a 1220 m high stratovolcano which occupies the northern part of the island of St. Vincent. It is one of the most active centres of volcanism in the Caribbean and has a record of activity dating back to the Pleistocene. Historic eruptions (since 1718) have caused over 1600 deaths and resulted in damage to property valued in excess of 4.8 million USD. In addition, current development plans for the area point towards increased risk of disastrous consequences from future activity at the volcano. All aspects of risk relevant to the volcano, are discussed, with particular emphasis on the manner in which these are perceived and on the question of acceptable risk. A method is presented for use in risk assessment of volcanic hazard and a number of risk zones are defined for the Soufriere volcano. Numerical estimates of the relative loss expected within each zone are obtained from a consideration of the value of the property at risk, its vulnerability to the hazardous volcanic events and the expected spatial impact of volcanic events. Such estimates suggest that the northern-most third of the island is at least ten times more at risk than areas further south. The likelihood of death and destruction is extreme in such high-risk areas, while the most feasible method of loss reduction is evacuation before an eruption occurs. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ab: Kingston Harbour, a 50 km2 bay connected to the Caribbean sea only through a 3.5 km channel, is contaminated with residues of at least seven insecticides, which are introduced by the Rio Cobre. Weekly sampling of the Harbour for a month in July 1992 revealed the following maximum and mean residue levels in water (uglk-1) and sediments (ng g-1; data in parentheses), respectively; a-endosulphan, 8.56 and 2.18 (1 and 0.52); B-endosulphan, 15.7 and 7.86 (0.76 and 0.4); endosulphan sulphate, 0.0003 and 0.0003 (O); p,p'-DDT, 7 and 7 (0.04 and 0.35); dieldrin, 3.75 and 1.88 (0.001 and 0.001); aldrin, O (36.7 and 9.2); endrin, 0.93 and 0.26 (0.006 and 0.006); lindane, 0 (0.8 and 0.5); and diazinon, 0.1 and 0.05 (0.007 and 0.045). Oysters and fish were also contaminated with a-endosulphan, diazinon and aldrin. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 1648 Au: Opadeyi, Jacob. Ti: Requirements analysis for developing a national GIS infrastructure for Trinidad and Tobago. So: West Indian Journal of Engineering; 18(1):25-32, 1995. Ab: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide a better storage and distribution mechanism for spatial data than the classical hardcopy map, hence, the growing increase in the demand for a national or corporate approach to its development. A national GIS will serve the spatial data needs of several public and private agencies to meet their various land management activities. The development of a national GIS, however, hinges on the existence and continual maintenance of three basic infrastructure elements: data, technology and institutions. This paper analyses elements of this infrastructure vis-a-vis requirements for the establishment of a national GIS in Trinidad and Tobago. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ti: Sector collapse in island arc volcanoes: a digital topographic and bathymetric investigation of the Qualibou Depression, St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles. So: Caribbean Journal of Science; 31(3-4):163-73, Dec. 1995. Ab: The emerging consensus is that sector collapse is an important process in the evolution of volcanoes. In most documented cases, the topographic features now interpreted as the result of gravity-induced collapse were previously interpreted as the result of either explosive eruption or caldera collapse. To date, however, only a few studies have investigated this phenomenon in island arcs. In this study, we use published 1:25,000 scale topographic quadrangle maps and unpublished bathymetric data to derive a digital elevation model (DEM) of the onshore and offshore portions of the Qualibou depression, St. Lucia in the Lesser Antillean island arc, to evaluate quantitatively the morphological and topographic characteristics of a structure that has been attributed to both sector collapse and caldera collapse. The angular shape of the depression, the steep offshore submarine slope, and the length-to-width ratio derived from the DEM are more consistent with a sector collapse than a caldera collapse. The Qualibou depression opens toward the backarc similarly to other postulated sector collapse features in the Lesser Antillean island arc, suggesting possible links among growth of the volcanic edifice, evolution of the back-arc, and orientation of subduction.

So: Caribbean Geography; 6(2):77-96, 1995. Ab: The essential elements of an overall strategy for emergency management of volcanoes, incorporating preparedness, evacuation management and post-eruption activities, is outlined in an attempt to guide the process of implementing loss reduction measures for future volcanic eruptions. An outline of alert procedures to be followed at all stages of an impending emergency and; the essential components of a volcano evacuation plan are also presented. Finally, a number of issues pertinent to the development of volcanic emergency plans are discussed. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 1651 Au: Crawford, James A. Ti: The effects of Hurricane Allen at Discovery Bay, Jamaica, and a post-hurricane survey of the living hermatypic corals. So: Caribbean Journal of Science; 31(3-4):237-42, Dec. 1995. Ab: This report contributes new data on storm-induce coral damage on a Caribbean reef. data collected from pre-hurricane photographic transects of the coral cover on the West Fore Reef (WFR) of Discovery Bay were compared to post-hurricane data to determine the extent of storm damage to hermatypic corals. Pre-hurricane transects were conducted in 1979 and 1980. Post-hurricane transects conducted in 1981 showed considerable changes in the coral cover and composition as a result of Hurricane Allen. Coral cover in the Palmata Zone declined by 93.7 percent. The Mixed Zone, dominated by boulder corals, decreased 84.7 percent in coral cover and the Cervicornis Zone experienced a decrease of 78.9 percentage. The average horizontal coral cover on the reef, as viewed from overhead, decreased from 63.4 +-12 percent to 11.1 +- 3 percent. Acropora cervicornis and A. palmata incurred the most damage, experiencing almost 100 percent and 98 percent destruction, respectively. Montastrea annularis, Porites astreoides, Siderastrea siderea and Millepora complanata seemed more resistant to storm damage. After the hurricane, Montastrea annularis was the most abundant species, with an average coral cover of 7.6 +- 2 percent, down from 13.2 +- 4 percent prior to the hurricane. Results show that branching corals are more prone to storm damage than round, boulder corals, and the greatest destruction occurred in the shallow fore reef. Other reports on storm-induced coral damage are discussed. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 1652 Au: Lohman, Ernst J. A; Haidar Nahla. Ti: Training for disaster reduction at universities.

So: Ciudad de La Habana; Empresa de Investigaciones y Proyectos Hidráulicos; 1995. Co: Forum Nacional de Ciencia y Tícnica, 10; Ciudad de La Habana, 1995. Ab: Se plantea que las inundaciones que se producen en las zonas aledañas al Malecón de Ciudad de La Habana, producidas por las penetraciones del mar que tienen lugar por la ocurrencia de ciclones, frentes fríos u otros eventos meteorológicos, ocurren principalmente por el sobrepaso de las olas sobre el muro del Malecón y en menor medida, por la penetración del agua a través de los drenes pluviales existentes en el tramo. Se exponen los resultados de los estudios realizados en modelos de laboratorio para determinar los caudales de agua para diferentes alturas de las y se propone para la evacuación parcial del sobrepaso la construcción de pluviorreceptores con sobre elevación de calles o barreras definitivas, incluyendo los muros necesarios en la acera sur del Malecón. Estas obras permitirán la remoción del 64 porciento del volúmen de agua que sobrepase el muro. Lo: Cuba, Latin American Centre for Disaster Medicine.

So: In: Griffith, Mark D. ed.; Persaud, Bishnodat. ed. Economic Policy and the Environment: The Caribbean Experience. Kingston, UWI Centre for Environment and Development, 1995. 243-47. Co: Seminar on Economic Policy and the Environment; 27, Oct. 1995. Ab: The paper examines the economic impact of natural hazards on the construction industry in the Caribbeana. The paper argues that the construction industry embraces all activities which shape our man-made physical environment. By extension, the construction industry has an important role to play in mitigating losses due to natural hazards such as earthquakes and hurricanes. It supports the concept of a Caribbean Uniform Building Code, which would lead to a significant change in the strategies of designers. It also touches on the influence of the insurance industry on the security of buildings against hurricanes and earthquakes. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Au: Maharaj, Russell J. Ti: The performance of some coastal engineering structures for shore stabilization and coastal defense in Trinidad, W.I. So: In: Maud, Julian G. ed. Geohazards and engineering geology (International Hazard Assessment, Mitigation and Remediation): Proceedings. London, Geological Society of London, 1995. 101-10. Co: 31st Annual Conference; Coventry University, 10-14, Sept. 1995. Ab: Coastal erosion in Trinidad has caused the loss of land and subsequent damage to many coastal engineering structures. Damage includes roadway failures, loss of agricultural land, coastal flooding and damage to property. In many areas, structural engineering measures have been implemented to prevent these events from recurring. An example of erosion and structural measures used in a segment of rapidly eroding coastline along the east coast of the island is presented. The site is part of a coastal section of the largest wetland on the island, the Nariva Swamp, through which drains the largest river system, the Nariva River. Structural measures used include steel sheet piled revetment, reinforced steel concrete retaining walls, gabion basket retaining structures, boulder splash aprons, a steel reinforced concrete pile cluster, concrete columns and blocks and boulder rip-rap. All these show signs of structural failure, some of which have already collapsed. Failures include spalling and cracking of concrete; rebar corrosion; steel pile corrosion; foundation settlement under retaining walls and structures, with subsequent surfical cracking; basal foundation sediment scour and undermining; wave and fluvial induced removal of rip-rap and splash apron boulders and seasonal burial and sedimentation of the splash apron and concrete pile cluster. Based on this study, it appears that construction-induced high energy conditions and oversights in design and construction were partly responsible for failures. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.
