ABSTRACT Fifty-nine sand samples have been analyzed to determine the relationship between depositional environment and quartz grain roundness. Roundness as used in this study is based on the sharpness of the corners and edges of individual sand grains from three size fractions. The environments from which samples were taken are: off shore, dune, beach ridge, open swash zone, protected swash zone, marsh, lagoon, and river. Sands from certain groups of environments show distinctive roundness patterns.

As human–black bear conflicts increase, developing conflict mitigation strategies that account for both biological and social understanding has become a primary objective of managers. We examined black bear habitat use in the Florida Panhandle to understand its impact on the spatial distribution of conflicts. Focus groups were conducted with local residents and wildlife professionals to obtain participants' beliefs, attitudes, and preferences toward bears and conflict management approaches. Findings ...

Herpetofauna of steephead ravines in the Blackwater and Yellow River drainages, Okaloosa or Santa Rosa County, FL, were surveyed using funnel traps along drift fences. Nineteen amphibian and 24 reptile species in seven steephead ravine sites were documented during 165 days of trapping. Amphibian or reptile species composition was most similar between steephead ravines in the Blackwater and northern Yellow River systems, which were in close proximity. Ravines in the northern Yellow River system, ...

ABSTRACT Vegetation surveys were conducted on a variety of coastal foredunes in a largely natural region along the Gulf County region of the Florida panhandle. Species presence, absence and percentage cover were surveyed on 12 foredune profiles during different seasons. The vegetation data were analyzed using the Shannon–Wiener Diversity Index and Sørensen Index. Uniola sp. and Andropgon sp. were the dominant species on foredunes. Uniola sp. was found predominantly on the gulfward facing or stoss ...

ABSTRACT For the years 1955-1958, a team of geologists from Florida State University investigated the sediments along both sides of the shoreline of part of the coast of the Florida panhandle. These studies have extended as far as 10 miles seaward, where diving techniques were employed, and about an equal distance landward. The bulk of the data so obtained has been concerned with approximate chemical composition (quartz, carbonate, clay), grain size, roundness, heavy mineral content, microfaunal ...

Drainage networks that have formed by ground-water sapping are developed in the highly permeable sands of the Citronelle Formation in the Florida Panhandle. The valleys resemble those formed on Hawaii, the Colorado Plateau and on Mars, but they have developed without significant lithologic controls. Drainage patterns range from trellis to dentritic depending on the effect of beach ridges and relative relief. Many of the drainage networks are not fully developed, and the adjacent uplands have been ...

The preconvective environment of summer thunderstorms over the Florida Panhandle is investigated. Geostationary satellite imagery as well as surface and radiosonde data were examined during the summers of 1990 and 1991. Days were classified either as synoptically disturbed or undisturbed based on the imagery. The undisturbed days then were subjectively subdivided into those having strong, weak, or no convection. Composite sounding profiles of various meteorological parameters were constructed for ...

Guidance regarding equilibrium beach profiles has been well established, although limited knowledge exists regarding the spatial and temporal variability of the equilibrium beach profile parameter for engineering usage, and limited data have been published regarding such changes. Additionally, the controlling parameter in the equilibrium beach profile theory depends on assumed depth of profile closure. Equilibrium beach profile theory is utilized herein to assess the spatial and temporal variability ...

This article presents radiocarbon data for known-age, pre-bomb marine gastropods, Busycon sinistrum and Strombus alatus , collected between AD 1924 and 1946 from nearshore environments of the Florida Panhandle, on the northern Gulf of Mexico. Δ 14 C was measured in whole crushed juvenile specimens ( n = 7) and terminal edges of adult specimens ( n = 6). A subsample of adult specimens ( n = 3) was subjected to additional, intrashell sampling to observe short-term variability in 14 C conditions. Δ 14 C values were ...

ABSTRACT Five Smackover (Upper Jurassic, Oxfordian) oil plays can be delineated in the eastern Gulf Coastal Plain. These include the basement ridge play, the regional peripheral fault trend play, the Mississippi Interior Salt basin play, the Mobile graben fault system play, and the Wiggins arch complex play. Plays are recognized by basinal position, relationships to regional structural features, and characteristic petroleum traps. Within two plays, subplays can be distinguished based on oil gravities ...

Analysis of about 400 sand samples, from the vicinity of the Apalachicola River delta (Florida Panhandle), raises the question of where the river-carried minerals are being accumulated. The river apparently has been delivering a larger quantity of heavy minerals than is found on the surface of the modern beaches and barrier islands. Coastal energy conditions are such, however, that a relative increase in heavy mineral content should be observed on the rim of, or immediately offshore from, the delta. ...

Salt intrusions derived from the Louann Salt of Jurassic (?) age are abundant in the Gulf coastal plain and are found from Texas to Alabama. Evidence suggesting that the Louann Salt may extend into the western Florida Panhandle includes the following. 1. The Mississippi Interior Salt Dome basin strikes directly toward the western Florida Panhandle: the easternmost proved salt dome in this basin is only 32 miles away. 2. Small round topographic highs occur on the continental shelf off the Florida coast; ...

Seasonal variation in the vegetation classification was assessed using data collected in Autumn 1989, and Spring, Summer and Autumn 1990. Seven general vegetation types were recognized through the four seasons of data collection, with the greatest variation occurring within and between plots in the 'dune' vegetation ...

Pensacola, Florida, experienced a record-breaking flood event in April 2014, after which, skin lesions evident of freshwater exposure were observed on common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ). Here we assess the potential consequences of the flood on bottlenose dolphin health and mortality. Data from an ongoing study were used to evaluate the relationship between ...

Hurricane Opal passed over the Florida panhandle between the cities of Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach on the night of October 4, 1995. The storm weakened in the hours prior to landfall from a strong Category (Cat.) 4 to a Cat. 3 hurricane. On point of impact, Opal's winds were 201 kph (125 mph) and pressure was 940 mb. Maximum storm surges of 4-5 m were reported to be in the Navarre Beach/Pensacola Beach area; however, our field observations lead us to believe that the maximum storm surge values ...

ABSTRACT Three Jurassic natural gas trends can be delineated in southwestern Alabama and the Florida panhandle area. These include a deep natural gas trend, a natural gas and condensate trend, and an oil and associated natural gas trend. Trends are recognized by hydrocarbon types, basinal positions, and relationships to regional structural features. Within these natural gas trends, eight distinct natural gas plays can be identified. Plays are recognized by characteristic hydrocarbon traps and reservoirs. ...

Hurricanes and tropical storms (TS) are infrequent but disastrous events to human lives, social activities, and terrestrial ecosystems in coastal regions. Using the Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA)’s Hydrologic and Water Quality System (HAWQS) model, principal component analysis (PCA), and principal factor analysis (PFA), we estimated impacts of multiple hurricanes and TS on hydrological processes in agricultural and forested watersheds. Five hurricanes and four TS that passed near or through ...

Abstract Since 1995, landings of Atlantic Thread Herring ( Opisthonema oglinum ) on the Florida Panhandle averaged 124 mt each spring (April–June) but declined to nearly zero in 1996–97 and 2006. To elucidate causes of recurring periods of low landings, we used generalized additive mixed models ( GAMM s) to examine the relationship between Atlantic Thread Herring catch in a trawl survey on the west‐central coast of Florida and four environmental variables. Chlorophyll‐ a was significant in the models, ...
