Morphologic Evolution and Alongshore Variability of Two Nourishment Projects in Southeast FL, USAUnknown Date (has links)
For the last several decades, beach nourishment has been a widely implemented erosion mitigation strategy along many developed coastlines. Measuring subsequent patterns of erosion and accretion can help elucidate local sediment transport trends, improve time scale predictions of profile equilibration, decrease renourishment intervals, and adjust future engineering design of nourishments. This study evaluates the morphologic evolution of two beach nourishment projects (e.g., characterized as a full and partial nourishment) at the same location in Boca Raton, Florida using time series beach profiles, surface sediment samples, and wave data. More than 85% of sediment volume was retained within the full nourishment six months after project completion, compared to 50% retained eight months after completion of the partial nourishment. Wave energy largely influenced immediate post nourishment change. Profile equilibration was controlled by high-energy events (i.e., hurricanes) for both nourishments. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A Zooarchaeological Perspective of West Kendall Tree Island Site (8DA1081)Unknown Date (has links)
The West Kendall Tree Island site (8DA1081) is a black dirt midden situated on
the northeast end of an everglades tree island. The site has been intensely disturbed by
excavation pits, particularly on the highest elevations of the site, and becomes
increasingly disturbed by a growing Kendall population. Faunal remains recovered in
2008 are examined to reconstruct past ecological habitats, comparing the faunal
composition to tree island sites within the Florida Everglades. Based upon identifications,
the composition of the site is similar to those of the region, being comprised primarily of
freshwater aquatic species and aquatic reptiles, with minimal selection of terrestrial
faunal resources. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Diet and foraging ecology of diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys Terrapin) in south FloridaUnknown Date (has links)
Dietary resource use for diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapins) in
subtropical mangrove habitats in south Florida creeks and islands was examined to
elucidate long-term individual foraging strategies. Fecal analysis revealed seven
categories of food items with gastropods, crabs, and bivalves being the most dominant
food items respectively. Non-metric multidimensional scaling revealed differences in
habitat, but not terrapin size class. Stable isotope analysis confirmed the findings,
identifying habitat and site differences in δ13C and δ15N values for both terrapins and
their prey. Bi-plots of terrapin and potential prey δ 13C and δ 15N values revealed potential
dietary sources previously undetermined by fecal analysis. Comparisons of scute and
blood isotope data revealed significant differences in δ13C indicating potential shifts in
either food resources and/or habitat use through the time period recorded in the scute
tissue. These tissue comparisons represent a powerful tool for estimating long term
foraging strategies for a key estuarine species. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Market ValueMorando, Christine 26 February 2015 (has links)
MARKET VALUE is a collection of stories about people in Southwest Florida struggling to make sense of their lives when faced with shifting economic realities.
The characters in the collection reevaluate their relationships and uncover secrets, forced to navigate a new American landscape of stalled opportunities and uncertain futures. In “Call the Storage King,” Walt assumes that his girlfriend has total faith in their relationship, but accidentally discovers evidence to the contrary. In “Luxury Living,” a resident of a mostly-empty riverfront condo gives a guided tour to a prospective buyer, revealing the building’s short but sordid history along the way.
Influenced by the suburban satire of Tom Perotta and A.M. Homes, MARKET VALUE presents a changing landscape where characters form unexpected alliances and sever old ties, in order to come closer to their downsized American Dreams.

THE ETHNIC WEB Socio-Spatial Characteristics of South Florida’s Brazilian CommunityUnknown Date (has links)
This thesis examines South Florida’s Brazilian community’ spatial organization in the region and its socio-cultural features in order to understand the nature of this immigrant community and the characteristics of its spatial structure. To do so, this study uses qualitative interviews with members of Brazilian community with the purpose of understanding how they make decisions of where to live, how they are connected to the broader community, how the community affects their individual experiences of living in the region and plan for the future. In addition, using secondary literature, it will compare the transformation of Brazilians ethnic community with that of the Cuban, Haitian and Russian communities located in South Florida. Situating this case within ongoing theoretical debates about immigrant incorporation in US cities, I will make the case that classical ethnic enclave or the spatial assimilation concept does not fit the spatial and social structure of Brazilian community.
The conclusion of this paper is that the US new immigrant ethnic groups may transform their shapes into a new multicultural ethnic web, as a result of the actual economic and social phenomena. The new ethnic web does not discard the disappearance of classical ethnic enclave, or the spatial assimilation processes, but given the actual international and local socio-economic processes, the three types of processes could overlap or be complementary. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (MA)--Florida Atlantic University, 2021. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A study of expected rainfall for selected stations in the state of FloridaUnknown Date (has links)
It is the purpose of this investigation to determine the amount of rain fall to be expected in various areas of the State of Florida. To date there are no published papers which are concerned with this aspect of rain fall in the state. Although this study is mainly concerned with the amount of rain fall which may be expected at ten per cent intervals throughout the state, it is probable that it has many ramifications which will be of value in other phases of water research. In speaking of the ten per cent intervals of time we are actually dealing with percentages of the total time. Hence, 25 years out of 50 years should not be construed to mean the next 25 years out of the next 50 years. / Typescript. / "August, 1949." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science under Plan II." / Advisor: LeRoy Babcock, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 58).
