Forward Much of the literature relating to Disaster Management in the Caribbean has not been systematically compiled. This is particularly true of the work which has been done outside the academic domain. The CARDIN database, which will provide electronic access, remote interrogation, and links into other databases, will therefore be important to the discipline of disaster management in the Caribbean. The CARDIN project transcends language barriers and is expected, on completion, to be representational of the work of the Region. Users will find the Bibliography easy to use. Addition of the locator for the papers is very useful. Connection to other databases ensures wide access to allied disciplines and has allowed incorporation of papers on environmental management, community development, agriculture and health, among others. CARDIN will also promote the work of scientists, researchers and disaster management organizations of the Caribbean, and will make their work more easily accessible, thus helping to eliminate some of the challenges encountered in its establishment. This represents a significant contribution to the disaster management literature of the Caribbean. Most appropriately, the project is the responsibility of an existing Regional Institution, which will ensure continuity. I hope CARDIN will be accepted as another valuable resource to be used in our ongoing efforts to reduce the vulnerability of the region.

Introduction Caribbean Disaster Information: A Bibliography, is produced by the Caribbean Disaster Information Network (CARDIN), and lists documents on disaster prevention, mitigation and response included in the CARDIN database. It is a product of a regional cooperative effort with contributions from disaster organizations in the Caribbean. CARDIN embarked on this project in an effort to bolster the ability at national and regional levels to identify and capture relevant disaster related information and make it accessible and available to the global community. It is envisaged that the bibliography will provide government agencies, planning units, insurance companies, statisticians, policy makers, researchers, teachers and students with a collection of disaster information pertinent to the Caribbean region. It is hoped that this resource guide will help to reveal gaps in disaster research and highlight areas, which need be revisited in an effort to identify appropriate measures, policies and practices to be taken in order to alleviate the vulnerability of the Caribbean region to disasters. The Bibliography includes works authored by professionals involved in disaster related issues in the Caribbean Region. It includes technical and scientific literature on the management of natural and man made disasters. Works incorporated include: research papers, theses, books, articles that have been prepared in scholarly journals, papers presented at conferences, preparedness plans, projects and technical reports. Works in Spanish with abstracts have been included and subject descriptors in English have been used for indexing. We hope that it will be as user friendly as anticipated and all who use it will find it a valuable addition to their libraries or information units. We trust that CARDIN’s efforts will contribute to the dissemination of disaster related information and aid in the discussion of disaster related issues. How to use this Publication This Bibliography is quite basic in its presentation and has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible. Information has been recorded as taken from the resources and this may appear as inconsistencies in presentation. However this is to ensure that the resource can be accurately and reliably traced. The Main Document Index The Document Index is the main listing of entries and is organized sequentially by document entry in the CARDIN database. Each reference provides the bibliographic description of the document, which includes, Identification Numbers; Author; Title; Source (publisher, place, date and pages); Location (where the item can be found); and Abstracts (where these are available).

The Subject Index The Subject Index was designed as a tool to search for essential information in the Main Index. An alphabetical listing of main key words have been used to describe documents, along with corresponding identification numbers for each reference. The Author Index The Author Index is an alphabetical listing of authors and institutions, along with the corresponding identification numbers of documents included in the database.

Proceedings; 251-6, 1984. Ab: An investigation of a roadway landslide in heavily

overconsolidated Trinidad clay is presented. The slide occurred due to the combination of softening of the subsoils and unfavourable pore-water pressure during a period of heavy rainfall. The mechanism leading to the occurrence of these conditions was deep cracks formed as a result of desiccation. Progressive movement of the slide area was noticeable about five years prior to the sudden failure that occurred on December 26, 1979. The slide area was rehabilitated using retaining walls on both sides of the roadway along with a large diameter culvert to facilitate quick removal of storm and surface run-off.

Ab: Numerous soil pipes are reported from a small catchment in an area of Kandoid (kaolin-rich) soils

and 2375 mm annual rainfall in the humid tropical volcanic island of Dominica, West Indies. Two spot surveys in August 1982 at baseflow during the wet season indicated that pipes contributed at least 14-16 percent of streamflow. Sampled pipe-flow was of similar chemical composition to the baseflow dominated streamwater. Specific conductance (249-420 uS cm-1) and silica (75 mg 1 -1) levels of pipeflow were high and suggested that the pipes tapped solute rich water close to the soil rock interface. The principal pipes flow perennially and showed little response to daily rainfalls of up to m3mn during the monitoring period.

Ab: This study documents the complicated bureaucratic process of relief, recovery and rehabilitation. The nature of the hazard is discussed and long-term mitigation strategies are proposed. The experience of Preston - the slope movements of March 1986 destroyed the village of Preston, Parish of St. Mary, Jamaica and was related to lateral spreading - has shown that (1) there are no specific guidelines or legislative framework within which the State may effectively assist its citizenry in the event of natural disasters, and (ii) as a society we are not prepared to deal with and manage the landslide hazard. These observations may be valid worldwide for developing countries. The slope movements which affected Preston are likely to be repeated in other communities in St. Mary; therefore the need for a National Landslide Management Programme is indicated. The Preston experience suggests that it is the responsibility of the local population to learn about the hazard and to prepare itself accordingly.

the central and eastern areas of the Commonwealth of Dominica, West Indies. A specific study of landslides on the island has not been conducted in the past; however valuable information regarding the soil properties and behavior was gathered by the authors during a road design contract. The island is geologically young and there is heavy rainfall in the area where the landslides occur. The predominant soil type is a well graded high plasticity material, the details of whose properties and behavior are presented.

storms occurring over the 5 - degree grid bounded by 15N75W, 20N80W and 20N75W within which Jamaica is located, have been analysed to determine their annual and monthly frequency distribution. It has been found out that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes and tropical storms, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with a=0.51 and a=0154 respectively. The monthly frequency distribution of both events combined shows that they are most likely to occur during September, August or October with a probability of 34, 26 and 24 percent, respectively. May, June, July and November account for the remaining 16 percent. These findings have practical value as these events are disaster sources and

the country is engaged in a flood plain mapping project as part of its disaster preparedness programme; they may also be useful for other countries in the Caribbean region where there are no such extensive records.

storms (S), tropical depressions (D) and all tropical cyclones (C=H+S+D) occurring in the Jamaica were analysed to identify a distribution that would fit the annual occurrence of these events and also to determine their annual and monthly distribution. It has been found that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with 1.7030, 1.7822 and 0.8889 respectively. It was found, however that in the Jamaica area, the annual occurrence of these events when combined did not fit the Poisson distribution. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Pub: s.l.; s.n.; n.d.; 121. Ab: The UNEP/CARICOM project was undertaken

because of the over-abundant evidence of pollution in the Caribbean Sea (mainly from land-based sources); and because of the detrimental effects of the numerous pollution sources on coastal ecosystems (particularly fisheries and coral reefs), which form a protective barrier to coastlines and coastal property, and on amenities providing marine recreational activity for tourist industries. The latter industries are extremely vital to the financial viability of most of the small islands that comprise the numerical majority of the countries of the Caribbean Community. The main areas on which the investigation and questionnaires focussed were domestic waste, mainly sewage and excreta disposal, and solid waste management: agricultural waste: industrial processes, and waste treatment and disposal: air pollution and coastal developments and their impingement on coastal ecosystems. The results of the data collected offer a comparatively accurate quantifiable evaluation of pollution loads on coastal ecosystems, land and subsurface resources.

for Jamaica, St. Vincent, and Dominica. Pub: Washington, D.C.; Pan Health Health Organisation;

93. Ab: In 1979 the Caribbean was struck by three

consecutive disasters: In April the Soufriere Volcano in St. Vincent erupted, forcing the authorities to temporarily resettle 20 percent of the population. In July, floods caused extensive damage to the western parishes in Jamaica. In September, Dominica was left in a state of shock and complete destruction by Hurricane David one of the most powerful hurricanes of this century. In all these disasters the immediate aftermath was characterized by uncertainty and fear of communicable disease outbreaks. In order to monitor closely what occurs following major disasters, specific post-disaster

12

epidemiologic surveillance systems have been proposed. This report describes the experiences with setting up such surveillance systems in the Caribbean following the disasters in St. Vincent, Jamaica and Dominica. Most of the outbreaks or potential risk situations were associated with the disaster relief efforts. The report's conclusions and recommendations for future work in setting up epidemiologic surveillance systems following natural disasters are as follows: 1. Epidemiologic surveillance systems following disasters should be organized quickly and be creative and very dynamic. 2. The surveillance system as described in this report will detect outbreaks if they occur. The drawback of the system is that it can easily detect "outbreaks" where there are none. 3. All of the outbreaks detected could have been prevented by adequate disease control measures following the disaster. In fact, most of the outbreaks detected were associated with the disaster relief effort. In 1979 the Caribbean was struck by three consecutive disasters.

Jamaica. Pub: s.l.; s.n.; n.d.. 5. Ab: More than 518 sq.m (200 sq.mi) of prime lands in

Jamaica lay on Karstic material where sink holes are the natural outlet of important streams. Due to increasing social pressures, the lands are inappropriately managed and as a consequence, vegetal debris and silting have plugged the sink holes which have thus lost their capacity to drain the run-off produced during heavy rainfalls. One of these areas is Cave Valley, which during the last 30 years has been affected by at least six floodings, some of which have produced losses of life and property, in a section of the Jamaican population which is already under severe economic hardship. A flood prevention and mitigation project is being implemented including watershed management, river training and

community preparedness. A geologic, hydrologic analysis are also part of this study. All these measures are expected to reduce future losses.

analogue apparatus has supported earlier suggestions based on field evidence that a causal link exists between some soil pipes and slope failure. The analogue has shown that when a pipe is blocked or is a dead-end passageway (a closed pipe), the cavity can readily fill with water during rainstorms. Pipes partially filled with standing water will generate pore pressure in the surrounding soil matrix in proportion to the hydrostatic head achieved. Long pipes parallel to the fall line of the Slope have the potential, when partially filled with water, of generating soil pore-water pressures much greater than those generated by total saturation of the soil. Such pore-pressure increases could trigger land-slides at sites that would otherwise be stable.

subsidence of a small plateau forming the crest of Woodford Hill, Jamaica, caused much damage to the village school, which subsided about a foot. Rapid stream erosion leading to landslides and the dislodging of a weathered porphyry on one side of the plateau rendered the upper beds of shale and soft sandstone unstable. A rotary "shearslide" movement on a horizontal axis ensued, movement taking place on a curved, shear surface which appeared at the surface as a fissure.

Oct. 1965. Ab: The hypocenters of appoximately 500 Caribbean

earthquakes were relocated using a digital computer. Since a large number of epicenters can now be located with an accuracy of about 10 km, the spatial distribution of earthquakes can be used in detailed investigations of the tectonics of deep-sea atrenches, fault zones and island arcs. A nearly continuous belt of shallow-focus seismicity can be traced from Central America to the Greater and Lesser Antilles and then to northeastern Venezuela. Intense sources of seismic activity are apparently associated with the El Pilar and Bocono fault zones. This study indicated a gap in the seismicity of northern South America between longitudes 64.5oW and 69oW. In addition to this area, several other segments of island arcs have acted as distinct tectonic units. These units are often bounded by major transverse features. About 30 percent of the events reported in this study were assigned focal depths greater than 70 km; earthquakes having depths as great as 200 km were detected. A zone of intermediate-depth earthquakes can be traced along the entire length of the Lesser Antilles. Most of the hypocenters in the Lesser Antilles are confined to a zone about 50 km wide which dips about 60oW. An intense source of intermediate earthquakes is located beneath the eastern end of Hispaniola. Much of the shallow-focus activity in the vicinity of the Puerto Rico trench is located beneath the south wall of the trench. Some activity was detected in the Puerto Rico trench itself, and several epicenters are associated with structural elements which strike WNW. Earthquake epicenters near the Virgin Islands indicate that the Anegada fault zone may be at least 400 km long.

Ti: A 10300 C14 yr record of climate and vegetation change from Haiti.

So: Quaternary Research; 52 :157-70, 1999. Ab: Pleistocene and Holecene vegetation dynamics in the

American tropics are inferred largely from pollen in continental lake sediments. Maritime influences may have moderated climate and vegetation changes on Caribbean islands. Stable isotope (delta O-18) study of a 7.6m core from lake Miragoane, Haiti provided a high-resolution record of changing evaporation/precipitation (E/P) since 10300 C-14 yr B.P. The Miragoane pollen record documents climate influences and human impacts on vegetation in Hispaniola. The delta O-18 and pollen data near the base of the core indicate cool dry conditions before 10000 C-14 yr B.P. Lake Miragoane filled with water in the early Holocene as E/P declined the fresh water acquifer rose Despite increasing early Holocene moisture, shrubby, xeric vegetation persisted. Forest expanded 7000 C-14 yr B.P. in response to greater effective moisture and warming. The middle Holocene (7000-3200 C-14 yr B.P.) was characterized by high lake level and greater relative abundance of pollen from moist forest taxa. Climatic drying that began 3200 C-14 yr B.P. may have driven some mesophilic animal species to extinction. The pollen record of the last millennium reflects pre-Columbian (Taino) and European deforestation. Long-term, Holocene vegetation trends in southern Haiti are comparable to trends from continental, lowland circum-Caribbean sites, suggesting a common response to regional climate change.

Pub:Kingston ; Scientific Research Council; 1966. 5. Ab: When Betsy, winds of which reached a velocity of 85

knots, struck Nassau in Sept. 1985, the damage to buildings was surprisingly little. Investigations disclosed that the rigid regulations adhered to in building construction, the distribution of the reinforcing material in the structures, the care taken in ensuring the adequacy of pins and drapes to wooden and concrete structures and the prompt and efficient manner in which the population reacted to hurricane warnings were responsible for the lack of destruction. The damage that did occur was caused mainly by occasional lack of attention to important details of construction, by falling trees and by the lifting of badly laid asphalt shingles from the roofs. The report includes recommendations which aim at improving building techniques and standard controls in Jamaica.

Ab: Mt. Misery is the youngest of the four main volcanic centres on St. Kitts. It is a typical strato-volcano with a relatively steep central cone, rising to 3,792 ft. above sea level flanked by a gently sloping piedmont.

There is a well preserved summit crater with traces of a somma rim around it. Associated with the volcano are four volcanic domes and two small explosion craters. Pleistocene limestone has been uplifted on the sides of the youngest dome, Brimstone Hill. Among the more recent products of the volcano are the Mansion pyroclastics which consist chiefly of greenish-gray andesitic lapilli, andesitic pumice and basaltic cinders: a few basaltic lavas intervene locally in the pyroclastic sequence. Although the maximum thickness of the pyroclastics is now only about 50 ft. the original thickness probably exceeded 130 ft. on the western side of the island. Investigations of thickness, grain size distribution and sorting indicate that they are pyroclastic-fall deposits erupted from the summit crater of Mt. Misery and distributed under the influence of a prevailing easterly wind. A small group of volcanic dusts termed the Steel Dust Series lie above the Mansion Series but are restricted to the lower western slopes of Mt. Misery. Mudflow deposits, some more recent than the Steel Dust Series, are extensively distributed on the piedmont. Isolated reports of eruptions in 1692 and 1843 are unsubstantiated but mild fumarolic activity persists to the present time, mainly in the crater of Mt. Misery. The bulk of the Mt. Misery rocks are of andesitic composition; basalts constitute less than 30 percent of the total and dacites are apparently absent. Most of the rocks are porphyritic and calcic plagioclase is the dominant phenocryst. The commonest rock-type is a two-pyroxene andesite in which hypersthene is usually slightly more abundant than clinopyroxene. Of the coarse-grained blocks ejected from Mt. Misery, the most abundant type is a hornblende gabbro but anorthite bearing blocks similar to those described from St. Vincent are also found.

Ab: The Soufriere region of St. Lucia is the site of a volcanic caldera of Pleistocene age. Pre-caldera activity in the region involved firstly the emission of basalt lava flows, and subsequently the growth of a group of andesitic strato volcanoes around a centre to the north-east of the ultimate caldera. From these strato volcanoes, andesite pyroclasts were erupted both vertically and as pyroclast flows

26

(glowing avalanches), in a phase of progressively more violent activity ending with caldera subsidence. Since caldera subsidence, intermittent eruptions have occurred, forming fifteen domes and seven craters within the caldera, and emitting pyroclasts, mainly as pumice flows, to form thick deposits within the caldera and beyond the caldera rim. The basalts of the Soufriere region are characterised by the predominance of augite among the mafic minerals, and contain between 51 percent of silic. In the andesites, hypersthene is often the only mafic phenocryst mineral. In the dacites, amphibole and bilatite are the principal mafic phenocrysts, and are accompanied by 5 percent to 15 percent of quartz phenocrysts. The andesites and dacites, which chemically form a continuous series with silica contents ranging from 59 percent to 66 percent, are believed to have been generated mainly by the partial fusion of local crustal material.

The geographical zones of Jamaica are described and their potential forthe production of timber in each considered. This review shows that much hardwood output already comes from private food forests wherever settlement occurs, that the limestone hills are not productive and would be difficult and uneconomic for Government to manage for the production of either hardwoods or softwoods unless a market for charcoal develops, and this is unlikely. The shale and conglomerate areas have the greatest potential for commerial softwood timber production if planted with pines but insufficient land is now controlled by Government for a large scale pine scheme. Consequently land acquisition will be essential.

Sediment production by the echinoids amounts to approximately 97 tonn/hectare/year, and is probably the major sediment producer on the Barbados reefs. Approximately 65 of this sediment is very fine sand to slit sized and is quickly winnowed out of the sediment. The remainder is fine to coarse sand and is probably the largest source of the sediment on the reef.

Cretaceous. Lavas and pyroclastic material were erupted throughout the Cretaceous and Eocene with a final occurrence in the Miocene. Much of this activity was submarine producing pillar lavas and waterlaid buffs. The bulk of the material is andesitic and dacitic, basic rocks being less common. The clastic sedimentary rocks of Jamaica consist largely of volcanic debris. The many conglomerates are composed almost entirely of lava fragments, while the extensive sandstone and shale formations are feldspathic, and contain small lava fragments. The Upper Cretaceous volcanism was restricted to the eastern half of the island and formed part of a volcanic belt separating the Antillean Geosyncline from the shallow shelf sea. The Eocene volcanism occurred only within the narrow Wagwater Trough between the Cretaceous shelf sea area and the rising Blue Mountains. There is a close correlation between the distribution of the ancient volcanic centres and the hydrothermal mineralisation.

It comprised an agro economic survey based on a detailed questioning of 194 farmers making up a 10 percent stratified sample of all farms within the watershed complex. The study reports the results of the survey covering the existing pattern of land ownership and the present land use and related them to the cropping pattern, the physical conditions of the land and production of the chief crop, yams, and also briefly reviews the pattern and economics of animal husbandry, in the area. It deals with employment and unemployment or under-employment problems and farmers' incomes by size groups, and examines the availability of finance to farmers in the form of loans, subsidies, etc., and farm investment.

Pub: Baltimore; s.n. 1973. 289. Th: Submitted to Johns Hopkins University presented for

the degree Ph.D. Ab: The Blue Mountains form the central massif of

Eastern Jamaica. The physical environments on both slopes of the mountains are similar except for the seasonal distribution of rainfall. The southern side has a distinct wet and dry seasonal regime whereas the northern slopes experience a more uniform distribution. Comparison of a north slope stream (the Buff Bay) with a south slope stream (the Yallahs) shows distinct differences in channel form and stream behaviour. The seasonal Yallahs has a wide, shallow, flat-bottomed, braided channel with steep banks whereas the Buff Bay meanders in a deep, round-bottomed channel with sloping banks. Tributaries join the Buff Bay graded to the main stream, but unaccordant tributary junctions are found in the Yallahs. Similar differences are seen on a regional scale when one compares the North-flowing streams with the south-flowing streams in Eastern Jamaica. As the only gross environmental difference is the seasonal distribution of rainfall, the hypothesis that streams in an area of seasonal rainfall have a characteristic channel form and behaviour is accepted.

Pub: Rome; UNDP/FAO; 1974. 195. Ab: The urban area of Kingston suffers from repeated

water shortages during prolonged periods of drought and the St. Catherine area is a convenient source of water supply so that export of water from the basin is practiced. The possibility of further export from the basin to the Kingston area is currently under study as a possible alternative to more expensive schemes, but this depends on proof of availability of the required quantities of water. Uncontrolled

33

development of the water resources in this area has resulted in deteriorating water quality caused by saline intrusion. Thus, full knowledge of the available water resources is required so that proper management can be assured. At present about 40-50 percent of the water used in the area is from underground sources, and this groundwater is expected to play a more dominant role in the future. The groundwater occurs either in alluvium or limestone aquifers, and an assessment of the availability of this water requires a knowledge of the lithology, geological structures and stratigraphy of these deposits. To provide this information, geological investigations were carried out over a two-year period.

Both slopes of the Blue Mountains display similar geology, relief, high annual rainfall, soils and land use, but the southern side has a wet and dry seasonal regime, whereas the northern slopes experience a uniform distribution. Comparison of a north slope stream (the Buff Bay) with a south slope stream (the Yallahs) shows distinct differences in channel form and stream behaviour. The Yallahs has a wide, shallow, flat-bottomed, braided channel with steep banks; whereas the Buff Bay meanders in a deep,

round-bottomed channel with sloping banks. Tributaries graded to the main stream join the Buff Bay, but unaccordant tributary junctions are found in the Yallahs. Similar differences are seen on a regional scale when one compares the north-flowing streams with the south-flowing ones in Eastern Jamaica.

4(2):1-20, 1976. Ab: Jamaica has a wide variety of types of coastlines.

Some of its beaches are as beautiful as any in the world. However, beaches of various types are found only about half of the coastline of the island. In most locations where there ae no beaches, the boundary between the land and the sea is a vertical wall where large waves break against rocky sea cliffs. There are a few spots, however, where the boundary is very gradual and quiet and mangroves cover the foreshore. These different types of coastlines often occur very close together. To understand why this occurs, one must understand the natural physical processes at work in the nearshore environment. This paper is intended as an introduction to this topic. The approach is descriptive in nature rather than quantitative and no attempt is made to cover the subject completely. The paper reflects a bias in that the author is much more familiar with certain areas of the coastline than with others.

Ab: An average of 3,000,000 gallons of primary treated sewage enters Kingston Harbour daily, in addition to brewing wastes and other water-borne pollutants. Together, these sources supply 40 times the natural nutrient level of the water in the harbour. Phytoplankton blooms are commonplace and in the inner harbour the oxygen level is normally only 50 of saturation. Changes in the benthic fauna have been studied since 1968. In that year there were 15 spp. in samples collected in the inner bay, and 96 of the specimens were the polychaete SPIOCHAETOPTERUS. In the outer bay in 1968 150 spp. were collected and the most abundant was VENERIS (8). By 1974 only 78 spp. were found in the outer bay and a single species accounted for 19 of the total. Bivalves were conspicuously lost, while nematodes were among invading taxa. Each year from 1968 to 1974 an "abiotic zone" advanced further from the inner reaches of the harbour toward

the mouth. CAPETELLA CAPITATA is useful as an indicator of high organic sediments. In 1968 it was found only in (inner) Hunt's Bay, but in October 1973 it had spread to the outer harbour where it was collected along with SPIOCHAETOPTERUS.

a sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks with north westerly strike, similiar to that of the Blue Mountain Inlier. The sequence is at least 4km in thickness and the fauna indicates a Campanian-Mastrichtian age. A possible correlation with the stratigraphy of the Blue Mountain Inlier is suggested. The presence of Eocene Limestone of shallow water facies, immediately overlying the Inlier, indicate that there is a structural high at this time defined by syn-sedimentary faults. Additional geo-physical, physiographic and tectonic evidence suggest that the Sunning Hill area is a part of a north westerly trending structure that formed the eastern boundary of the Wagwater Trough.

May 1977. Ab: A first order of descriptive characterization of the

currents and hydrography of the south central insular shelf of Grand Bahama Island is made based on 17 months of observations. The observed currents consisted of three basic flows: (1) a primary, multiple day, W-SSW current which occurred over 50 percent of the time; (2) a secondary, multiple day E-NNE current which ocurred less than 20 percent of the time; and (3) periods of highly variable currents which fluctuated on a time scale of hours. The thermal character of the waters exhibited a typical tropical-subtropical northern hemisphere seasonal structure. The water column was generally well mixed except during the water-warming spring season when thermoclines would form. Salinity and dissolved oxygen values were found to be representative of tropical-subtropical western North Atlantic conditions. Both varied during the study but seldom showed any vertical structure.

Jamaica can be derived from data on streamflow, rainfalll and drainage basin characteristics. The probability curves for each region may be used to estimate flood frequency in uncalibrated basins in the region or sections of streams that are hitherto ungauged. The relationship between the annual average one day flood flow and the nstantaneous annual maximum flood is good enough to enable estimates of the latter to be made when only the former is known.

water resources and its high variability in time and space are discussed. Various methods have been used to examine long term rainfall records and some results obtained are as follows: The distribution with time is skewed and generally there are more years with lower normal than above normal rainfall. Also two sucessive years of below normal rainfall usually occur more frequently than two consecutive years of above normal rainfall. At several locations in the eastern and southern plains a trend for decreasing ainfall over the past two decades have been

40

detected. The 1975-6 drought is the most severe since the very protracted drought of 1920-30 and the islands average rainfall for 1975-6 are lower than for those for 1967-8, when there was also a severe drought. The island's rainfall for 1976 is the lowest annual rainfall since 1924. The importance of the extremes of the rainfall is emphasized and the difficulties in predicting rainfall seasonally or for other long periods is noted. Finally an outline is given of the programme of rainfall enhanced by cloud seeding.

Ab: Dominica was struck by Hurricane David on the 29th August 1979 and this report gives the background to the disaster, reports on the disaster itself and presents the ensuing relief effort. A large amount of emergency relief was provided to Dominica following Hurricane David from other governments, the United Nations, national and international voluntary service organizations, and many individuals from nearby countries and around the world. The assessment of the relief effort concluded that the two major problems were 1. the lack of advance disaster preparedness and prevention activities in Dominica and 2. the lack of adequate communications channels to and from the island. A third problem was the distance from the disaster scene of the responsible UNDP office in Guyana as this made their early direct involvement impossible.


ID: 425 Ti: Report of the United Nations Disaster Relief

Coordinator on Hurricanes David and Frederic in the Dominican Republic August/September 1979.

Pub: Geneva; United Nations Disaster Relief Organization; 1980. 23.

Ab: In late August and early September 1979 Hurricanes David and Frederick ravaged the Caribbean region. David hit the Dominican Republic on 31 August and Frederic followed four days later with less intense winds but bringing week-long downpours and causing extensive damage which aggravated an already disastrous situation. This also hampered both damage assessment operations as well as rescue and relief efforts. Casualties and damage are recorded. The response and relief efforts by the government of the Dominican Republic, the United Nations system and other bilateral and voluntary organisations are reported. Conclusions made are that 1. the relief effort was able to cover most needs of the hurricane victims and undertake rehabilitation and reconstruction tasks in a reasonably short time and 2. the establishment of a local "United Nations Team" allowed all agencies involved to carry out their respective missions with maximum efficiency.

in reef corals. The Caribbean staghorn coral, ACROPORA CERVICORNIS, although dependent on fragmentation for asexual propagation, is particularly vulnerable to hurricane damage. The most important agents of post-hurricane mortality are assumed to be high wave energy and change in salinity, factors which typically soon diminish in intensity. We report here that there was substantial delayed tissue and colony death in A. CERVICORNIS on a Jamaican reef damaged by Hurricane Allen. This previously undocumented degree of secondary mortality, sustained for 5 months and unrelated to emersion, was over one order of magnitude more severe than that caused by the immediate effects of the storm. The elimination of 98 of the original survivors suggests potentially complex responses to catastrophes, involving disease and predation, which may explain the widely variable rates of reef recovery previously reported.

severely damaged by Hurricane Allen, the strongest Caribbean hurricane of this century. Immediate

studies were made at Discovery Bay, where reef populations were already known in some detail. Data are presented to show how damage varied with the position and orientation of the substratum and with the shape, size and mechanical properties of exposed organisms. Data collected over succeeding weeks showed striking differences in the ability of organisms to heal and survive.

most part less affected than might be expected, although much evidence of the storm (broken and toppled coral heads, detached sponges and gorgonians) was apparent. The severity of storm damage tended to decrease with depth; however the damage at any one depth was patchy. The percent coverage of some organisms (e.g. fleshy algae, coralline algae, corals) at certain reef sites did change after the storm; however, the relative abundance (ranking) of the various categories did not change significantly. The only consistent difference was the significant decrease in coral cover at all but the deepest (30m) site. This was primarily due to the loss of the branching coral, ACROPORA CERVICORNIS. Coral composition, as reflected by relative abundance and species diversity (H') changed little.

Co: Effects of June flood rains; Kingston, 27 Oct., 1979. Ab: This paper attempts to briefly review some aspects of

the flood experience and to further evaluate the response to the transient phenomenon of the flood by natural scientists in particular. A presentation of this type cannot deal with all the aspects of the flood relevant to natural scientists, but such a comprehensive, scientific review of disaster events is advocated for the future as a part of a natural response to disasters. The major part of the paper review disasters within a famework of phases of disaster action and points out some of the action of scientist appropriate to each perceived phase. Using this crude model, an attempt is made to indicate some areas of concern and possible future counter disaster action by posing a series of questions to the scientific community. Some general conclusions are drawn from the studies done after the event.

disaster using remote sensing techniques, with the addition of meteorological data supplied by the weather services of both Jamaica and the U.S.A. The following have been utilized: (1) NOAA weather satellite imagery. This has a resolution of one nautical mile (1.9 kms) in visible spectrum (daylight only) and four nautical miles (7.6kms) in the infrared capable of producing a nighttime image. (2) Hand-drawn cartographic facsimiles of radarscope generated imagery. These facsimiles are made by the staff of the Meteorological Division in Jamaica from the radarscope facility at Cooper's Hill near Kingston. (3) Verbal reports and summary of this radar imagery observed at Cooper's Hill, including the location and height of cloud tops. (4) Hemispheric and regional synoptic weather charts at six hourly intervals, including the upper air charts at mandatory levels. (5) Statistical data indicated in the bibliography. (6) Landsat colour-infrared composites (both transparencies and print), specifically authorized by NASA and taken on July 19, more than one month after the disaster, of the flood ravaged area. This imagery has a satisfactory resolution of 100 meters in the case of water bodies which show up strongly in the colour-infrared.

components of the June 12, 1979 flood disaster in Western Jamaica. The synoptic component looks at the meteorological conditions prior to and during the disaster and concerns itself with an analysis of the various weather parameters- viewed collectively, which formed the base for a forecast of the occurence. Meteorologically speaking, the climatology component deals with the end results of the occurence in the short rainfall.

devastating potential in the Caribbean. Although it deepened on three occasions to the intensity of a category 5 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, its track was such that the islands escaped the worst possible effects. Storm surge was the major cause of damage and this was compounded by wind and/or rain effects. Forecasts gave a clear indication of the magnitude of the threat and, except in Haiti, loss of life was very small. The track, variations in intensity and the landfall were predicted efficiently and errors in track position were smaller than the longer period averages for different forecast periods for other tropical cyclones.

shorter than it actually is. Throughout the Commonwealth West Indies, children’s rhyme is used as a guide to this shorter perceived season. Using over 300 years of data, it is possible to show that the season lasts much longer and that the occurrence of all types of tropical cyclones is not randomly distributed. Peak periods of greater activity are present in late June, mid-August, and mid-October. A new rhyme is introduced to comply with the historical record.

Ab: The precipitation and temperature of Trinidad, West Indies, in the period 1921-66 have been investigated for evidence of oscillations. Statistical methods including variance spectrum analysis are employed in the investigation. The results indicate that while there has been fluctuations in temperature resulting in a rise of 4.8F between 1933 and 1958 and a decrease of 3.0F thereafter, oscillations in precipation have been more significant. The evidence is strong for significant oscillations of 2-2.5, 5-6, and 15 year periods. The effects of these oscillations on the water balance are discussed and the point is made that these oscillations, specifically in the dry-season precipation, ought to be considered by water resources and agri-business planners.

the Bahamas. So: Bahamas Naturalist; 6(2):29-34, Dec. 1982. Ab: The Bahamas marine environment is unique -

nowhere else is there such a large area of shallow water (50,000 square miles) in such an amenable climate which is accessible to such a large group of people. Man's contact with this environment is mainly through the coast. Here he builds his towns, his docks, his homes, and his hotels, on the beaches themselves he spends much of his leisure time, and in the offshore region he may also fish, or dredge for minerals. Necessarily all this activity has some effect on the coast; much of it is harmless, but much of it is potentially damaging. In view of the enormous economic and social value of this area, it is obvious that man must be careful not to destroy it. It therefore follows that for every action he takes, he must be well aware of what the consequences might be. suprisingly often this not the case, man may take the coast for granted, or assume the responsibility for its conservation lies with others, or be prepared to sacrifice it for short term gain. Sound conservation of the coast demands that we know what can normally be expected to happen without man, and that we also know or find out what will happen when he uses it.

coastal environment. So: In: Research report IMA/9/83; 1983. Ab: A study of the environmental laws of Trinidad and

Tobago raises the question - "What is environmental law?" The starting point in answering this question is the word 'environment.' For the purpose of this

study, environment may be defined as all of the surrounding conditions and influences that affect the development of things living and non-living. Environmental law as a judicial corpus is in its infancy in Trinidad and Tobago; indeed in many countries of the world. The recent attention that is being paid to this branch of the law is a direct result of the deterioration of the human and natural environment on a global scale. The time is perhaps right therefore, to examine those laws which have the capacity to control the manner in which we use our resources and the activities associated with this exploitation. This study is an attempt to arrange those laws which impinge upon our use of the environment into a co-ordinated whole.

It is concluded that, at present, the problem is not a severe one and that in the immediate future the level of annoyance may be kept within acceptable limits by minor restrictions of the take-off and landing paths and by suitable location of future housing.

approaches to Kingston Harbour, and its close proximity to the shipping channel made it an ideal location to monitor beach tar pollution. Approximately 250 ships/month enter Kingston Harbour. Tar on the cay arises from tankers discharging oil into Jamaican coastal waters after leaving port. The levels and rate of arrival of tar on Maiden Cay were investigated. The specific gravity (SG) of beach tar balls was directly related to the sand content (r=0.92). Older tar balls tended to be heavily encrusted with sand and thus sank SG=1.3, and were repeatedly transported in both longitudinal and horizontal directions across the beach. Newly arrived beach tar had a lower specific gravity (SG=0.9), floated and was used to determine the rate of tar arrival. The entire cay was swept clean of tar and debris and sampled by means of wide transects over 12 days. It is estimated that the mean rate of arrival of fresh tar was 1,4 g/m/d.

This paper attempts to identify the most important structural considerations for buildings prone to wind damage. It also presents recommended detailing procedures to ensure good building performance in high winds. Among the points dealt with are cladding types and modes of resistance, bracing methods and effects, uplift effects on fixings, stability, connections, columns and foundations. Detailing recommendations are supported by previous studies and research observations which confirm the case for and against various methods of detailing for wind resistance.

So: Caribbean Geography; 1(1):13-23, May 1983. Ab: Beach erosion and accretion on the Palisadoes, south-

east Jamaica, is a diurnal phenomenon, caused by changes in wave form in response to the local sea-land breeze regime. Sea breeze generates destructive wave forms which removes sediments from the foreshore. These waves decay when the land breeze operates, and sediment is returned to the foreshore by constructive wave action. For this meteorological data are a satisfactory substitute for wave data in prediction of short-term beach erosion and accretion.

The purpose was to give hydrological background data for a possible future improvement of the carrying capacity of the rivers and canals. The estimations were carried out on the condition that the river and canal channels do not overflow. The estimates have been based on flood frequency curves for stream flow stations in western and central Jamaica. The method of frequency analysis of partial duration series of floods was used.

of the condition (living vs. dead and encrusted) and volume of staghorn coral, Acrophora cervicornis Lamarck, patches within the East Back Reef of Discovery Bay, Jamaica was made. Data generated by this assessment were compared with similar data collected in 1975-1976 prior to the storm. Densities of two urchins, Diadema antillarum Philippi and Echinometra viridis A. Agassiz, and the threespot damsel-fish, Eupomacentrus planifrons Cuvier, within the coral patches were also measured. Although staghorn coral patches were significantly smaller (-65) in mean volume in 1981 compared to 1975-1976, 22 percent of the patches were unchanged since 1976 or had increased in volume and only 9 percent were reduced to piles of rubble. Diadema and three-spot densities were significantly higher than in 1976. Mortality of damsel-fish and larger Diadema appeared to have been reduced. Coral patches with both damselfish and Diadema present exhibited a high proportion of living coral tissue, while those dominated by either damselfish or Diadema were overgrazed with 5 percent of the substrata covered by living coral. Similarly, the fore reef exhibited high urchin and low damselfish densities, possibly contributing to its low proportion of living coral.

Ab: Report on a four-day workshop on "Health Services Management in Disaster" for health personnel. The purpose of the workshop was twofold: 1) To strengthen the knowledge and skills of health personnel in the management of health services in the event of a disaster, 2) To test the "Study Guide on Health Services Organization in the Event of a Disaster" developed for PAHO by the University of Wisconsin". The course was divided in to seven lessons, each with its own learning objectives. The topics discussed include: 1) Health care disaster plans as part of an overall national disaster preparedness plan; 2) Organization of the health system 3) Organization of first level care at the disaster site; 4) Organization of rural health services for disaster situations; 5) Organization of health care facilities for disaster situations; 6) Implementation of the disaster plan in a health care facility and; 7) Update and evaluation of hospital disaster management plans.

Ab: National disaster management organizations and the insurance sector are both concerned with the reduction of losses in future disaster events and with the rapid recovery after the event. However, there appears to be little meaningful dialogue between the two groups. The Caribbean has, since 1979, seen significant activities designed to promote better

emergency response at local, national and regional levels. In Jamaica, Office of Disaster Preparedness has attempted to involve non-government organizations and in particular, the Jamaican insurance sector, in joint activities related to Hazard Management. Suggestions for possible areas of future collaboration are: improvements in insurance sector security plans; improvements in response plans; sharing and development of technical data; identification of high hazard zones and development of mitigation strategies; support of appropriate building standards and efforts to maintain the housing stock, appropriate capacity in the emergency services; and promotion and support of disaster awareness and safety programmes.

Ab: Records the succession of natural disasters which have struck the Caribbean region back to the 16th century. Points out that any disaster occurrence places a burden on the economy and the impact can be measured by the State's ability to recover. Suggests therefore that disaster mitigation should be an economic planning function. Describes the Pan Caribbean Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Project, which provides assistance to each Caribbean state and the region as a whole, in developing preparedness organizations and mechanisms, as well as providing technical cooperation on request. Prevention activities are highlighted particularly in relation to construction techniques, building codes, costs, maintenance, insurance and aid. It is recommended that insurance companies 1. insist that buildings be properly maintained so that the value of assets insured is maintained; 2. examine ways and means of encouraging the continuous upgrading of housing stock to increase their disaster resistance; 3. in financing new construction, should encourage adherence to building codes; and 4. encourage research into building safety/durability to reduce failures occurring from disasters.

Ab: Definition of disaster is any occurrence involving massive social, physical and economic disruption. Inevitability of disaster is accepted and a change of attitude is occurring among insurance personnel as well as economists and planners. Progress can be set back by the onset of disaster therefore disaster preparedness is an economic measure. Hurricane David in 1979 awakened governments, planning agencies, international organizations and bilateral aid agencies to the need to combat the effects of future disasters in the Caribbean. Preparedness and particularly public awareness helps to prevent/mitigate the effects of disasters.

Ab: En época de lluvias los ríos que conforman la cuenca del Amazonas tienen una enorme subida de sus aguas que causan desbordes cuyas consecuencias durante el año 1982 provocaron inundaciones en una vasta región del noroeste boliviano. El impacto de esta inundación fue comparada con otra sucedida en 1950 y produjo un grave deterioro en el sistema de servicios de salud y desorganización en las acciones de socorro. Abarca el período anual, previo a la inundación, al momento de la inundación, bajada de las aguas y recuperación, manejando como variables la incidencia de enfermedades gastrointestinales, infecciones respiratorias agudas, mordeduras por ofidios, malaria, desnutrición, densidad de vectores y roedores. Los resultados permitieron: establecer y ensayar instrumentos sencillos, suficientemente normalizados para obtener comparaciones; adiestrar al personal de salud en el manejo e interpretación adecuada de esos instrumentos; establecer pautas de investigación en terreno para casos de inundaciones.

En las condiciones de Cuba, los desastres naturales más frecuentes son los huracanes e intensas lluvias que pueden producir grandes zonas de inundación, de alli la necesidad de evacuar personal a lugares seguros y que estos sean albergados en las mejores condiciones posibles. Esta situación esta asegurada fundamentalmente por el regimen económico-social existente, con la participación activa de las organizaciones de masas y a través de estas todo el pueblo. Se tienen en cuenta nucleos poblacionales de diferentes características y dimensiones, así como la participación activa de las Organizaciones de Masas, los Comites de Defensa de la Revolución para la organización de la evacuación de la población que sea afectada, la ocupación de albergues y la participación activa del personal de salud.

Los desastres naturales dentro de un territorio pueden originar el desequilibrio del ecosistema predominante y en consecuencia, desencadenar un importante deterioro de la situación higiénico-sanitaria, posibilitando que se produzca un incremento de la población de vectores y el desplazamiento de algunas especies de animales hacia otras reas, llevando consigo agentes etiológicos que pueden influir negativamente en la situación epizootiológica de diferentes enfermedades de gran interés dentro de la población animal y humana de la zona. El establecimiento de un sistema de vigilancia

epizootiológica bien estructurado y organizado, permitir conocer de forma continua todos los aspectos relacionados con la aparición y tendencia de aquellas enfermedades incluidas en el sistema; en consecuencia, existirán las informaciones fundamentales (morbilidad, mortalidad, frecuencia, comportamiento de la población de vectores y otras) que permitan detectar oportunamente las variaciones desfavorables que se originan y poder elaborar un programa de actividades contraepizooticas y antiepidémicas encaminadas a dar la adecuada protección que requieren las poblaciones que se encuentran comprometidas.

Ciudad de La Habana, 13-17, Oct. 1985. Ab: La magnitud de los transtornos del estado de salud de

una población determinada, después de la ocurrencia de un desastre natural esta determinada en gran medida por el tipo de desastre, intensidad del mismo, características de la población afectada, priorización por parte del Estado del problema y recursos humanos y materiales destinados a la líquidación del problema. El exito en mayor o menor escala radica en la rapidez con que se elaboren, organicen y ejecuten las medidas preventivas y antiepidémicas necesarias para cada caso en específico. Para que esto sea posible es necesario la existencia desde tiempo normal de un sistema de vigilancia epidemiológica efectivo, que garantice en tiempo y forma detectar cualquier situación no habitual en el comportamiento de las enfermedades infecciosas, inicio de la implantación de un proceso infeccioso indeterminado o la exacervación de un problema endémico. Los cambios higiénicos-sanitarios y ecológicos que se pueden producir después de la ocurrencia de los desastres naturales pueden ser de diversa intensidad y gravedad e influyen directamente en cualquier problema de salud. Uno de los elementos b sicos de mayor importancia para este sistema de vigilancia es el conocimiento de la situación creada, para lo cual es necesario contar con un sistema de información único estable y confiable estructurado en tres etapas, antes, durante y después de la afectación.

from factors such as the region's complex network of petroleum production points and transportation routes, dependence of national economies on the pristine marine environments that attract tourists, and the vulnerability of many of the nations to pollution incidents resulting from lack of preparedness. The problems of improving response capability in a region having over three dozen governments are immense. Nevertheless, through recent events, the region's governments are recognizing the importance of having an agency responsible for environmental matters, a response organisation, a pollution contingency plan, and adequate legislation to provide the jurisdiction necessary to prevent and to take action to control discharges into the marine environment.

observed storm damage on a fringing reef, Jamaica, West Indies.

So: Journal of Marine Research; 44 119-48, 1986. Ab: Hurricane Allen is one of the most severe hurricanes

on record and caused extensive damage throughout the Caribbean in early August 1980. Coral reefs along the north coast of Jamaica were devastated by the hurricane-induced waves. As in the case of most hurricanes, no wave measurements were made. We have computed the wind field and hindcast the deep water wave characteristics as the storm impacted the fringing reef at Discovery Bay on the north central coast of Jamaica. The deep water waves propagated into shallow water on the forereef and transformed as a result of shoaling and refraction. We found that significant wave height at a given time varied by a factor of 2.6 and that incident wave power for the duration of the storm varied by a factor or 7 along a 3 km section of Discovery Bay forereef due to variations in local bathymetry. Maximum hindcast breakers reached a height of 11.5 s. Observations of the most intense reef damage coincided with areas on

the eastern forereef experiencing the highest breakers. We speculate that the degree of reef damage is a function of how much time has elapsed since the previous storm rather than the frequency of hurricanes at a locality.

United Nations (FAO/UNEP) and widely quoted in the literature on the tropical environment, has been shown to be unreliable and based upon a fundamental misunderstanding of the causes and extent of the process. A sample survey of humid tropical forests in Jamaica indicates a 3.3 percent per annum rate of deforestation 1980-1986, but that despite significant commercial lumber production, large clear fellings are rare and most modification of the forest is due to expansion of small farming and pastoral activity. The modal cleared is 20 to 25 hectares. As uncontrolled deforestation is adversely affecting watersheds and inducing serious flooding, some form of control and management is urgently needed.

changing in many parts of the Caribbean region. The trend is from humid tropical and dry seasonal forest toward increased aridity, with savanization and actual desertification being apparent in some areas. There is an increasingly acrimonious debate as to the degree to which the changes are anthropogenic and due to misuse of the environment. All evidence points to overexploitation of essentially fragile island ecosystems. Field studies and some sampling of time-sequential satellite imagery, including Landsat, suggest that a ajudicious combination of remotely sensed and ground verified data is useful in documenting these disturbing trends in land surface climatology. A more detailed programme of study is envisaged.

storms occurring over the 5-degree grid bounded by 15N75W, 15N80W, 20N80W and 20N75W within which Jamaica is located, have been analysed to determine their annual and monthly frequency distribution. It has been found out that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes and tropical storms, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with a =0.51 and =0.54 respectively. The monthly frequency distribution of both events combined shows that they are most likely to occur during September, August or October with a probability of 34, 26 and 24 percent, respectively. May, June, July and November account for the remaining 16 percent. These findings have practical value as these events are disaster sources and the

country is engaged in a flood plain mapping project as part of its disaster preparedness programme; they may also be useful for other countries in the Caribbean region where there are no such extensive records.

outside the earthquake belt and the hurricane zone. This means that disaster preparedness and development of disaster plans should focus on risk rather than those traditionally encounter in the Caribbean Region. It is therefore understandable that disaster awareness develops at a different from that in the island countries, which year after year have to face the threat of natural disasters. The health sector in any case, has to be prepared for mass casualty incidents caused by air/road traffic accidents, explosions, fires etc. It is for this reason the PAHO Office in Georgetown, requested project support for a training exercise for health and hospital staff for the development of a disaster plan-outline for the Georgetown Hospital. Regionalization of the health services, which is vigorously persued, presented the opportunity to also review the role and functions of the regional health facilities in the event of a disaster.

The Hurricane plan established in 1955 was last revised in May 1982 and is now again being updated, under thee supervision of the newly appointed Cabinet Secretary (with responsibility for Natural Disaster Preparedness), Mr. Carlos Perdomo.

University presented for the degree M.Sc. Ab: The three principal objectives of this study were: (i) to

identify the levels of agricultural project planning where an economic analysis, utilizing natural disaster risk information, could be introduced, (ii) to examine methods of incorporating natural disaster risk into economic analyses of agricultural projects, and (iii) to include this information in an economic analysis of an agricultural project, and to consider the potential effects of such information in planning. Several economic analysis methods were investigated, and four were selected to incorporate natural disaster information into the planning of a case study project in St. Lucia. Results from cut-off period, discount rate adjustment and sensitivity analyses suggest that disaster information can be readily incorporated into agricultural project planning. This information greatly increases the amount of information available to project planners. Results from the mean-variance analysis suggested that disaster mitigation options could increase the benefits from a project. In turn, these more stable benefits could improve the development process in developing nations.

90

g/m on the Leeward West Coast, with intermediate values on North and South Coasts: no progressive temporal trend was evident. coastal waters, median levels of floating tar and dissolved/dispersed hydrocarbons respectively were 0.05 mg/meter square and 0.05 micro gram/1 with maxima of 10.8 mg/m square and 0.04 micro gram/1.Evidence from aerial surveys of oil discharges at sea, and from examination of beached tar for physical state and ultraviolet fluorescence spectrum, combines to indicate that the majority of oil pollution experienced in the Cayman Islands is attributable to crude oil discharges from the tanker traffic in the North-West Caribbean.

So: Caribbean Journal of Science; 23(1):93-105, 1987. Ab: Jamaican coastal waters and beaches were sampled

between 1980 and 1983 for dissolved and/or dispersed oil in the water column, pelagic tar particles and beach tar, using methods established for the IOCARIBE/CARIPOL petroleum monitoring programme. The results of these surveys were used to determine the sources of oil pollution, the levels of oil in the water and on the beaches, and the rate of arrival of waste oil in Jamaica from outside sources. Outside sources of oil pollution in Jamaica are from undermined discharges in the open Caribbean and tanker discharges on the nearshore waters, usually within a few miles of the port approaches. Land based sources are ships, small-crafts and oil installations. The heaviest contamination of beaches is on the south coast and offshore cays. However, the highest level of dissolved/dispersed oil is found within the partly sheltered Kingston Harbour. No seasonal trends were observed in the rate of arrival of oil in Jamaican waters but the volume of tanker traffic, proximity to the shipping lanes, and local current and weather conditions were definite influencing factors. Overall the levels of oil pollution were only moderate. The Jamaican monitoring programme has demonstrated the simplicity and effectiveness of the IOCARIBE/CARIPOL methods.

and beaches of Kingston Harbour was studied between 1980 and 1983 using methods established for the IOCARIBE/CARIPOL petroleum monitoring programme. Laboratory weathering experiments were conducted to identify dissolved and/or dispersed petroleum hydrocarbons (DDPH) and oil slicks in the harbour in order to pinpoint the pollution sources more accurately. The effects of the

91

pollution on (1) two species of biota (a bivalve and a sponge) (2) a small area in the Port Royal Mangrove and (3) the environment in general was investigated. Oil spills and DDPH were the most common forms of pollution, occurring with greatest frequency in the Middle Harbour region. The DDPH fraction was found to be comprised of compounds similar to Venezuelan crude and refined oils, and uncharacterized fluorescent compounds. Main pollution sources were shore-based industries, land run-off, storm water discharges and vessels utilizing harbour facilities. Bivalves from the most heavily polluted area had highest petroleum hydrocarbon levels. The beaches, waters and mangroves of Kingston Harbour were not seriously affected by oil pollution.

slope, Northwest Providence Channel, Bahamas. So: Marine Geology; 77: 277-86, 1987. Ab: The southern flank of Little Bahama Bank is a deep-

water carbonate slope into which a series of closely spaced canyons 10-200 m deep have been cut. It is similar in morphology to many other slopes in the Bahamas, and these slopes are generally considered to be created by the erosion of downslope sediment gravity flows. However, little evidence for downslope sediment movement or associated erosion were found in the Holocene or latest Pleistocene sediments of the slope reported on here. The sediments from water depths below 260 m consist of a uniform pelagic drape covering both the gullies and inter gully ridge tops. High resolution seismic reflectors are not truncated along individual gully walls. And the fine-scale stratigraphy of the sediments recorded in glacial/interglacial changes in the aragenite/calcite ratio of the sediments is preserved in sediments from gullies and ridge tops. It appears that for the last two to three glacial cycles there has been only minor downslope transport of sediment. Despite the gullied morphology erosion is not presently occurring on the slope.

bulletin; 71(6): 719-36, 1987. Ab: Seismic reflection profiles from the straits of Florida,

Northwest Providence Channel, Tongue of the Ocean, and Exuma Sound reveal a seismic stratigraphy characterised by a series of prograding upper cretaceous and tertiary seismic sequences with seismic velocities generally less than 4 km/sec. overlying a lower cretaceous section of low-amplitude reflections which are more nearly horizontal than the overlying prograding clinoforms and have seismic velocities greater than km/sec. The prograding units are detrital shallow-water carbonates shed from nearby carbonates banks into deep introbanks basins that were established in the late cretaceous. The lower cretaceous units are probably shallow-water carbonate banks that were drowned in the middle cretaceous but which, during the early cretaceous, extended from Florida throughout the Bahamas region. The seismic reflection profiles reveal a sharp angular unconformity at 5 - secs two-way travel time in northwest Tongue of the Ocean, suggesting a continental crust. No such unconformity is seen in central and southeast Tongue of the Ocean or in Exuma sound, suggesting that these are built on the oceanic crust.

the 1902 eruption of Montagne Pelee volcano did not detect local earthquakes for the first 70 years. For the only eruption which occurred in this time span in 1929 the seismograph was 20 km away and of a standard type, not particularly suited to the detection of small-scale local seismicity. Improvement of the monitoring array over the last 15 years with the installation of sensors on the volcano itself allowed the detection of signals of local origin which were interpreted as being due to surface sources such as rockfalls and landslides. Since December 1985 seismic sources in the volcano itself i.e. small earthquakes at shallow depth, were identified and located with the aid of a temporary upgrading of the array close to these weak sources. Such an onset of local seismicity could not have been detected with previous seismic equipment; such episodes of seismicity in the volcano might have occurred in the past apparently quiescent history of the volcano as the re-interpretation of seismographs of some events in 1976 would indicate, without evolving to more important volcanic phenomena.

The difference between leeward and windward beaches is evident, with no tar found on leeward beaches at any collecting session and always tar on windward beaches with a mean of 278 g per metre for one transect. The form of the coastline and the angle of the wind direction to the coast probably have great influence on the amount of tar arriving and remaining on the beach.

Ab: Strategic information gathering is critical to making decisions in the aftermath of a disaster. This publication presents a methodology for selecting the appropriate data from the proper sources for damage and needs assessment. The method is based on the premise that although each flood has its own peculiarities, there are common key decisions that must be made. Although slow onset floods are the main subjects, the same approach can be applied generally to hurricanes when the winds usher in torrential rainfall. The most typical decisions that authorities face are listed with indicators as well as some of the basic questions which need to be asked to assess the overall situation. Data which needs to be assessed for environmental sanitation, vector control, food and nutritional status, evacuation camps, health centers and surveillance are listed as well as the possible sources for this information.

operating on the backshore, foreshore and nearshore zones at Hellshire and Half Moon Bays has been examined over a 30 month period, between March 1983 and August 1985. Approximately d139,000m3 of sediment comprise the sand dune at Half Moon and part of Hellshire Bays. Sediment samples taken from the dunes are finer and better sorted than samples obtained from elsewhere along the beach profile. Experimental data obtained using sand traps indicate that most sediment is transported by a low saltation process. The critical entrainment velocity is exceeded for most of the year, particularly during June to August. The morphology of the subaerial section of the beach profile showed no significant variation during 1984. Morphological variation of the subaqueous beach profile was statistically significant through 1984.

A comparison of the graphs obtained from the activity of the foot and siphon of the individuals versus time, showed that the sublethal effects occurred at WSF concentration as low as 7.6 ppm hydrocarbon. These sublethal effects were a reduction in activity as concentration increased, and a reduction in the time required for the maximum number of individuals to become active. Burrowing behaviour was inhibited in all the contaminated solutions, including the lowest concentration of 1.08 ppm hydrocarbon, as compared to control.

It has been found out that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes and tropical storms, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with a=0.51 and a=0.54 respectively. The monthly frequency distribution of both events combined shows that they are most likely to occur during September, August or October with a probability of 34.26 and 24 percent , respectively. May, June, July and November account for the remaining 16 percent. These findings have practical value as these events are disaster sources and the country is engaged in a flood plain mapping project as part of its disaster preparedness programme: they may also be useful for other countries in the Caribbean region where there are no such extensive records.

Pub: s.l.; s.n.; 1987. 15. Co: 1st Annual National Conference on Science and

Technology; 27-29, Apr. 1987. Ab: The Caribbean Coastal Management Study (CCMS) is

a multi-disciplinary programme investigating environmental problems along the coastline of Hellshire. Near shore reefs have experienced recent deterioration, including death of corals and overgrowth by algae. This appears to weaken the protecting effect of reefs, changing the hydrodynamics and leading to beach erosion. It was hypothesised that deterioration was a consequence of eutrophication from the Kingston Harbour outflow. Oceanographic investigations were undertaken to characterise the adjacent water mass and the extent to which this is influenced by Kingston Harbour. Data indicate that the outflow does not impinge directly but moves down the South Ship Channel; prevailing winds may push harbour water towards the coastline. Biological components of the water mass support the view that harbour effluent is a dominating influence in this area. The northern end of Hellshire is also influenced by effluent from the Great Salt Pond, aggravated by the cutting of a channel between pond and ocean. In the Southern part there is evidence of ground water leaching through the limestone and influencing coastal hydrography. Geochemical studies indicate a gradient of increasing carbonate and decreasing heavy metals as one moves south from the Harbour.

In addition, flash floods and sink hole floods are being studies. It is expected that the plan will help Jamaica to mitigate the negative effects of flood events.

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.

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

98

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

Hurricane Kate, which passed directly across the Caicos tidal flats on 18 November, 1985, provided an opportunity both to document the character and distribution of a specific storm-sediment layer and to evaluate the role of hurricanes in moulding the geometry of the tidal-flat system.

Since 1963 the number of stations has increased and presently there is a network of five short period vertical component seismometers linked by radio telemetry to the base recording station at the Mona Campus of the

University of the West Indies. Seismic events are recorded on 600 metre reels of magnetic tape and the position of each event is located and the magnitude and epicentre determined. In addition to the network of seismic stations there are six strong motion accelerographs which are deployed in high rise buildings in urban and rural Jamaica. Since their installation in the mid 1970's, only one earthquake in 1978 yielded a good strong motion record. In 1983 the Jamaica Bureau of Standards introduced a National Building Code for engineers in which it recommends that structures be designed according to the code of the Structural Engineers Association of California.

Jamaica is accelerated erosion rates and increased runoff. The loss of topsoil leads to decreased fertility of the soil and the flood potential of rivers in these watersheds is increased by the large influx of sediment. High rates of sedimentation in rivers increases the flood potential of these rivers by reducing the channels and in some cases, blocking the channel. The resultant elevated water levels causes flooding in low lying areas.

organisations particularly the family were modified as demographic shifts and migrations in search of housing and employment occurred. It is further shown that neither societal vulnerability nor resiliency has improved despite that trauma.

Research Unit; 1988. 70. Ab: Soufriere Hills volcano is active and will erupt again.

It is a potential threat to many of the people that live in Southern Montserrat. Future eruptions will involve the creation of pyroclastic flows and surges and mudflows on the flanks associated with the growth of a dome of lava within a specific region around the summit. The deposits and effects of such eruptions are very dangerous. Relevant aspects of the geology of the island are discussed including the results of previous geological mapping and monitoring of the volcano-seismic crises in 1966-67, 1933-37 and 1897-98, when the volcano may have come close to erupting. Computer models were used to simulate the effects of a wide variety of eruptions. Results are presented and incorporated into maps of volcanic hazards. Suggests that emergency planning should allow for the three possible types of eruption and that some consideration be given to strategies for mitigating the damage done to the island by the loss during eruption of the centralised facilities in Plymouth. Land use planning should take account of the mudflow hazards and the high risk area east of English's crater.

in tropical environments: a Jamaican case study. Pub: Exeter; s.n; 467. Th: Submitted to University of Exeter presented for the

degree Ph.D. Ab: The crisis following a flood disaster in 1979 in

western Jamaica demonstrated that the country was not prepared for the impact of severe natural hazards. Post-disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation planning was seriously constrained by a fundamental lack of knowledge of the severity of the natural processes that had led to the disaster. This thesis suggests appropriate disaster mitigation measures that may be used to reduce the vulnerability of western Jamaica to flood hazards in the future. Flood risk in the region is studied, and the recurrence/frequencies of the floods in 1979 are estimated. The geomorphological significance of the event is assessed, and general damage to buildings and to the road system is evaluated. Traditional responses to risk problems are considered and, because they are found to be in need of improvement, a flood risk management system is developed for the region. The vulnerability of western Jamaica to floods is assessed, and a risk model is designed to assist the development of land-use planning policies. Improved methods of flood prediction are proposed, and recommendations are made for improvements in building and engineering practices to mitigate the effects of future disasters. Contingency plans are developed to improve the efficiency and quality of post-disaster surveys following future impacts, so that effective rehabilitation and reconstruction planning may take place.

the Discovery Bay fore-reef are presented. These were determined from the size of individual sponges growing on the coral rubble that was deposited when Hurricane Allen struck the north coast of Jamaica in August 1980. Sponges collected in February 1986 were weighted and their growth rate determined using the MIX program, originally developed to analyze size-frequency data in fish populations. Sponge doubling times were 232 and 304 days, with evidence that early exponential growth may be slowing down after four years. The fastest growing sponges were those with small populations of symbiotic cyanobacteria, indicating that there may be a selective advantage for these sponges with photosynthetic symbionts.

Ab: Dire predictions of catastrophic damage to bird

populations in Jamaica as a result of Hurricane Gilbert (Haynes-Sutton; last issue) were not accepted by some sections of the avifauna. It appears to have been business as usual over the last few months for most of the seabirds and waterfowl. When Hurricane Gilbert struck on September 12, 1988, beaches and coastal wetland areas were severely damaged. Mangroves used for roosting and nesting by various species suffered severe defoliation and upper branch breakage and, in some areas, loss of up to 60 percent of the trees. Nests were destroyed in the pelican colony near Port Royal, but within three

weeks the birds were incubating a new batch of eggs. The pelicans and frigate birds had moved their nest site a short distance from the coast but by early February some are back again nesting and roosting at the old site, despite its tattered appearance. Despite the severity of Hurricane Gilbert and the extensive damage, coastal ecosystems are recovering very rapidly and pre-storm conditions have been reestablished in most seabird and waterfowl feeding habitats already. Hurricane effects on population numbers are expected to be minor and some behavioural adjustments are all that appear to have been required from the waterbirds.

Telecommunications in the Caribbean; Port of Spain, 13-15, Mar. 1989.

Ab: Physical damage to the P.W.D.'s network was mainly due to the loss of the J.B.C.'s antenna tower at Cooper's Hill on which the P.W.D.'s antennae were installed. This resulted in the loss of all V.H.F. antennae and one of three parabolic antennae which were on the tower. All other sites suffered very little damage. The loss of the Cooper's Hill antenna however, resulted in severe disruption of the network. The problem after Gilbert however was not a lack of radio equipment or expertise but rather a lack of coordination and management of the available resources. Reflects the need for a comprehensive telecommunication plan which must include disasters as a routine.

Ab: This study establishes the importance of the Hellshire area to its users, essentially the fishermen, vendors and visitors. By virtue of its present significance to people, it is worth the input that is necessary to preserve, enhance and sustain it. Looking ahead into the future of Hellshire Hills and what that involves, it is evident that what is done or left undone with regard to Hellshire Beach will have a significant impact on the future city of Hellshire Hills. There is urgent need for an integrated study and assessment of the problems and operative forces causing the problems, so that appropriate recommendations can be made and implemented in order that our developmental goals may be achieved. Some of the information gleaned for this study was from various environment related agencies; the Natural Resource Conservation Division, the Meteorological Office and the Maritime Institute of Jamaica. Administered questionnaires and casual conversation with users of the beach area also proved informative.

Ab: At site estimates of the T-year flood based on short records are known to be unreliable. The preparation of flood plain maps requires estimates of these quantiles to determine the extent of inundation of the river banks. These maps will enable the mitigation of flood hazards by providing information for regulating new developments, flood control schemes, insurances and land use planning. For effective usage of these maps, it is imperative that estimates of the T-year flood be reliable. A Regional Flood Frequency analysis incorporates all the single site data in a homogenous region and reduces the standard error of the quantile estimate since this depends on the number of observations in the analysis. The Index Flood method was used to develop regional flood frequency or Growth Factor curves based on observed annual maximum instantaneous flows for the guaged catchments in Jamaica. An objective approach based on studies by S.E. Wiltshire (1985) enabled the demarcation of the island into homogenous regions (having similar at-site dimensionless frequency curves. At site estimates of the T-year flood are calculated as the product of the T-year growth factor multiplied by the mean flood (where the growth factor is the ratio of the annual maximum instantaneous flood to the mean flood) at the site. For guaged sites the hydrologic and meteorological characteristics of each drainage basin in a homogenous region are related to the observed mean flood by multiple linear regression and the best fitted model is chosen based on statistical test. Those regionalised regression curves are used to estimate the mean flood for unguaged sites and ultimately allow for estimation of the T-year flood for unguaged catchment.

depends on the effectiveness of planning and response management at the district or local government level, notwithstanding the need for a central authority which may provide essential services

associated with massive search and rescue relief operations. It is therefore essential that the National Meteorological Service and Meteorologists actively participate in major decisions pertaining to evacuation of shipping from ports, progressive closure of sea, air, road and rail transportation systems and power supplies, the equalization of reservoir and water storage, suspension of schools and commercial activity, evacuation procedures, requests for military assistance, emergency food, clothing and medical supplies. Each of these activities require special "meteorological briefings" to expand upon the brief content of official or broadcast warnings. This paper seeks to further highlight the key areas for meteorological advice and the resource needs to facilitate the establishment and implementation of these mitigation systems.

have coastal locations which reflects their maritime origins, and commonly the waterfront areas occupy the original sites of these settlements. During nearly five hundred years of urbanization in the region, waterfront areas of many West Indian towns have undergone repeated redevelopments in consequence of destruction caused by natural and man-induced disasters and obsolescence related to technical and economic change. The creation of wharves and building sites on the waterfront often involve the reclamation of coastal shallows and swamps, a process which was also commonly undertaken as a public health measure. Some recent development schemes have swept away historic buildings, destroying the picturesque character of the old waterfront areas, but there is an increasing

131

awareness of the importance of this architectural heritage and its potential value to the Caribbean tourist industry. Urban development has also adversely affected the natural environment of the coast, but now a rising sea level poses a serious threat to the waterfront of the towns, themselves.

development assistance agencies continue to formulate development plans and investment projects without due consideration to the risks posed by natural hazards. Yet the recent disasters that affected the region serve as a reminder that sustainable development cannot be attained without mitigating hazard risks. The author identifies three reasons why decision-makers in development planning ignore disaster risk, and reviews several strategies for improving risk perception and response. Significant progress can be made towards this end by including hazard assessment and vulnerability analysis in the development planning process, and by expanding the project appraisal process to include a cost-benefit analysis for investment in appropriate loss reduction and mitigation measures.

pre-Gilbert period as the author's premise is that the hurricane made worse an already difficult situation for women who were suffering from worsening social services in health, education and housing. Following Gilbert, the woman was relied on to maintain a semblance of normality within family units and was among the first to seek assistance. The work of the Women's Resource and Outreach Centre after Gilbert was to coordinate and give guidance to communities and women whose work was made more difficult by the hurricane. The response of the government sector and the NGOs is looked at and it is recommended that disaster planning should be given priority attention by governments with particular consideration of the role women play in disaster situations. It is also recommended that social services should be upgraded, maintained and monitored and women should be trained in "disaster responses" at the community level.

Ab: Hurricane Hugo severely damaged the agricultural sector in Montserrat, St. Christopher and Nevis, Antigua, Dominica and the British Virgin Islands. Both export and domestic agriculture will suffer an immediate sharp fall in output as a result of the hurricane. This will cause a drop in export earnings and a rise in agricultural imports and deterioration in the balance of payments situation. Farmers and fishermen lost their homes and access to water thus the repair and/or replacement of these assets takes precedence over farming and fishing. There is need for immediate assistance to the farming and fishing population so as to restore their productive capacity and confidence as quickly as possible.

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

137

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.

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.

report of a field meeting on the Irish Town Road, Junction Road and St. Joseph Road, Kintyre, 13 May 1989.


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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ab: A two phase investigation was made of the concentration levels of toxic substances in the marine sediments and coastal waters around the US Virgin Islands. The Pilot Phase, March 1986, served to screen six composites of three bottom samples each, representing the main pollution impact areas and a control, for all 129 EPA priority toxic substances. Based on the virtual absence of any toxic organics in any of these composites, the Main Phase, July/August 1986, concentrated on sampling and analyzing for the 13 priority toxic trace elements in pairs of samples of seawater and marine sediment at 24 locations around the three islands. Locally elevated concentrations were found of several trace elements, especially Ni, Pb, Zn and Cu. Highest contamination occurred in the fine muds off HOVIC, St. Croix and Mangrove Lagoon, St. Thomas. By contrast, concentrations at the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall off St. Croix were significantly below average. The order of degree of pollution by island was St. Croix St. Thomas St. John. Very low correlation was found for trace element levels in marine sediments and in adjacent terrestrial rocks and soil analysed by USGS, suggesting that erosion contributes little to the trace element distribution pattern, with the possible exception of Ni. Distribution of Hg and Pb can be partly explained from transport by the predominant

142

trade winds. Other 'hot spots', e.g. Cu and Zn in harbours, clearly result from point sources of anthropogenic inputs. In conclusion, the USVI marine environment is relatively pure and impacts of inorganic trace elements are largely localised.

Ab: The OFDA/USAID response to the need for electrical power restoration on St. Kitts, Nevis and Montserrat following extensive damage by hurricane Hugo, was to obtain the Lloyd Electric team from USAID/Kingston and to put them to work on restoring power to the three islands. Technical assistance was provided to St. Kitts from October 3 to 16, when electrical service was restored; on Nevis from October 3 to November 18 when service was restored; on Montserrat from November 18 to January 9 and further extended to February 16 when it is estimated that 90 per cent of electrical power will be restored. Recommendations are made for hurricane preparedness for Caribbean electrical utility systems as well as recommended initial actions for restoration by the utility following damage by hurricanes.

Pub:Kingston; University of the West Indies, Mona. Department of Geography; Mar. 1990. 21.

Co: Conference on Small Island Development; Valetta, 24-28, Mar. 1990.

Ab: Two important constraints on agricultural development in Jamaica are singled out for attention i.e. (1) the deep-rooted structural dualism which characterises the country's agricultural systems, and pervades and influences the direction of policy; and (2) the periodic disruption caused by natural hazards. Summarizes the evolution of the rural economy to show how the dual agricultural economy emerged from the country's colonial history and the island's geography imposed its own patterning. Agricultural policy has favoured either component depending on the political party in power. Data is presented to illustrate the devastating impact of Hurricane Gilbert and its effects on the agricultural sector.

It reviews several typical situations to be found in Trinidad and Tobago and offers a number of recommendations to assist in rationalising and monitoring industrial development and placing it, as it should be, as part of national planning for development. The central recommendation is for the creation of a separate agency or unit, properly staffed with the requisite specialist skills and given the necessary legal authority to investigate, advise, monitor and regulate the development and impact of industry on the health and welfare of citizens and the environment.

The last thirty years have seen attempts to build a network of monitoring instruments to encourage research into Jamaican seismicity. So far not enough has been achieved because of inadequacy of the existing network. Here, what is needed has been outlined. Costs to build an ideal network are estimated to be US$583,605.00 (Ja$4M), which is not too high an investment in light of the eventual benefits that will be afforded by the system.

Ab: Landslide susceptibility analysis was undertaken covering an area of some 554 km2 in the parishes of Kingston, St. Andrew and the Portmore area of St. Catherine, which host a population of approximately 650,000. The aim of this study is to produce a hazard map that identifies areas where future landsliding is most likely to occur. This map forewarns planners and engineers of slope instability constraints on the mountainous terrain north and east of the Liguanea Plain, where urban expansion is currently taking place. This study is a part of the Kingston Multi-Hazard Assessment Project and was supported by the Caribbean Disaster Mitigation Project (USAID/OAS). We mapped some 2,321 landslides which were subdivided into active, scarps (definite, probable and questionable) covering some 19.8 km2

147

or 3.57 percent of the entire study area; 4.77 percent of the area is mountainous, excluding the Liguanea Plain. Landslide susceptibility analysis was performed using the matrix approach of DeGraff and Rosemberg. The digital data were analysed by IDRISI for Windows v. 2.0. Factor maps prepared included lithology, distance to fault, slope angle and slope aspect. Deep versus shallow landslides were analysed separately. The susceptibility maps have been prepared at a scale of 1.50,000.

However, facets of technically appropriate and agronomically sensible solutions are in place and need to be mobilized urgently.

Jamaican montane rain forests by Hurricane Gilbert were described in a series of permanent plots over a study area of 2.5 km2, sampling 0.3 ha. Damage was assessed in the plots 19-23 months after the hurricane. Low overall levels of damage occurred compared with studies of hurricane damage elsewhere; stem mortality = 8.d1±1.4 percent; uprooted stems = 5.8 ±1.3 percent; broken stems = 8.5 ±1.2 percent. The highest levels of damage were found on southern slopes and the ridge crest of the Blue Mountains, as the range protected forests on the northern slopes from the full force of the hurricane,

which struck the southeast. However, mortality and uprooting did not conform to a pattern that could be linked to topography.

to a low pressure system created a familiar but alarming hazard in central Jamaica. The storm dropped about 300 mm of rain within a period of 24 hours, triggering floods and hundreds of landslides in the parishes of Clarendon, St. Andrew, St. Catherine and St. Mary. The majority of these landslides were debris flows that caused extensive damage to public and private property and blockage of roads. One person was killed and a 13-year old girl seriously injured in landslide related accidents. In contrast with the two major landslide events of the past decade, the present storm was characterized by a lack of antecedent soil moisture. Rainfall-threshold conditions that led to the debris flow activity have been determined.

West Indies. So: Engineering Geology; 31 27-43, 1991. Ab: Tropical residual soil slopes frequently have very high

moisture contents (over 100 percent) and low unit weights (5.5-10.0 N/2). However, they can remain stable at much higher angles (over 40o) than slopes covered with transported and redeposited soil. Standard laboratory tests and stability calculations fail to predict their behaviour accurately since they often fail to represent in situ conditions. In this paper the tropical volcanic soils of Dominica. West Indies, are used to provide a critical examination of standard tests and procedures. Laboratory values of residual shear strength are shown to be inconsistent and frequently low. Explanations are offered in terms of testing pressures, the structure of the soil and the dynamics of soil water movement through the profile. Three commonly used stability models are examined. Their failure to predict field slope angles accurately is accounted for by the (unrepresentative, laboratory-derived) values input into the models and by the accumulation of averaging errors at the high slope angles used.

Ab: At the request of the Government of Jamaica the Canadian International Development Agency (CCCIDA) supported a regional geochemical reconnaissance survey of those areas of Jamaica underlain by Cretaceous inliers and Lower Eocene Wagwater Belt rocks in 1986. The field, analytical and

report preparation work were carried out in conjunction with the Geological Survey Division in Jamaica and, under contract to CIDA, by Bondar-Clegg & Company, Ltd. The methodology and the results of the reconnaissance survey are discussed. In total, 2369-105-µm stream-sediment samples and 922-420-µm heavy-mineral concentrates (sp.gr.2.96) were collected and analysed for some 32 elements from the 2354-km2 survey area. The survey was successful in detecting all the known major mineral occurrences. More importantly a number of geochemical anomalies indicated the presence of previously unrecognised mineral resources-in particular, a number of potentially auriferous areas. In other cases the multielement responses in areas of previously known mineralization refocused attention on them. A total of 69 anomalous areas were recognized as having some mineral exploration interest.

Ab: Analysis of surface meteorological observations in the Caribbean Sea in the Caribbean Oceanographic Resources Exploration (CORE) Project during April and May 1990 are presented. The computed latent heat flux over the west central Caribbean Sea was affected by the movement of cold fronts and high pressure systems. The estimated net oceanic heat gain shows that the waters between the Bahamas and Antigua lost heat energy (60W.m-2) from the air-sea interface and this may form a source of heat energy to the overlying atmosphere during the pre-hurricane period. In contrast the waters to the south, between Belize and Guyana, gained heat energy at the sea surface. Part of this heat energy may be transferred to the colder upwelling regions. The evaporation rate is low (3mm.d-1) near the Guyana coast and is high (8.5 mm.d-1) between the Bahamas and Antigua. The estimated net heat gain at the sea surface during the pre-hurricane period may have an influence on the growth and development of hurricanes moving over the region from the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

lowlands of southern Belize. So: Caribbean Geography; 3(2):94-106, Sept. 1991. Ab: Throughflow is the lateral movement of water

through subsoils, often caused by decreases in soil permeability with depth. It was measured by interception at various depths in eight profiles in representative soils of the coastal plain of southern Belize. Throughflow hydrographs tended to peak within a few hours of heavy rainfall and to recede rapidly. Throughflow was observed throughout the full depth of the subsoil and was not concentrated above the clay-enriched horizon. A cutoff drain at 25 cm depth substantially diminished throughflow in one pit, and a drain at 60 cm caused its virtual cessation in another. Throughflow enables some water to be retained for use by vegetation and decreases erosion risks associated with overland flow. The importance of this pathway also has pedagogical implications, as the lateral diversion of vertical percolation decreases the amount of water for leaching and weathering of the lower horizons.

Ab: An often overlooked aspect in the linkage between economic development and environment is the vulnerability of development to environmental extremes, or natural hazards. The impact of a natural disaster on the economy of a small developing country can be devasting. Jamaica's GDP for calendar 1988 fell by 2 percent as against an expected growth of 5 percent. Settlements and their services, basic infrastructure, productive facilities, and even the natural resource base can sustain severe damage, forcing the country to divert scarce funds to their rehabilitation. The foreign exchange earning capacity of export agriculture and tourism can be wiped out for a substantial period, at a time when the country needs to acquire goods and sevices from abroad as inputs for the rehabilitation effort. Countries in the region, and their international development assistance agencies continue to formulate development plans and investment projects without due consideration to the risks posed by natural hazards. Yet the recent disasters that affected the region serve as a reminder that sustainable development cannot be attained without mitigating hazard risk perception and response. Significant progress can be made towards this end by

151

including hazard assessment and vulnerability analysis in the development planning process, and by expanding the project appraisal process to include a cost-benefit analysis for investment in appropriate loss reduction and mitigation measures.

Ab: The British Virgin Islands (B.V.I), a group of fifty islands east of Puerto Rico having long been at the forefront of environmental management in the Eastern Caribbean. The B.V.I is heavily dependent on tourism, most of which is located in the coastal zone. A major environmental workshop in 1986 recognized depletion of coastal resources as a major problem, and the need for development of new coastal legislation was identified as a priority area. The process whereby the legislation was prepared is described, this included seven major drafts over a period of four years as well as a series of public meetings. The subject area covered by the legislation

was also described in detail, as the legislation evolved through the many drafts the focus shifted from a conservation angle to a coastal management context. During the four years a coastal management agency was set up, the Conservation and Fisheries Department and already many of the administrative procedures for implementation of the Act are in place. It is predicted that the legislation will be enacted early in 1991, regulations to the Act are being prepared. It is hoped that the legislation will provide a framework law for other islands in the region.

stability perspective. So: In: Cambers, Gillian. Coastlines of the Caribbean.


Ab: The Institute of Marine Affairs embarked as early and 1982 on coastal conservation studies and a structured programme of data collection and analysis was established from 1985. Forty-one beach profile stations have been established around Trinidad and Tobago. The nearshore processes and beach profile data collected at these station indicate the complex interlay of the aspect, coastal geology and the near shore hydrodynamics contribute to the form of the coastlines. The south coast of Trinidad is one of the more dynamic coastlines. The geological outcrop of this coast consists mainly of weak unconsolidated silts, clay and sandstones, which provides little resistance to the on coming waves. The geological formation exposed along the east and west coasts of Trinidad are similar. The difference in the degree of coastal erosion experienced along these coasts is primarily due to the fact that the west coast is sheltered whilst the east coast is open to the Atlantic Ocean and therefore to direct attack by high energy waves. The highly indented north coasts with its sheltered inlets is composed of low grade metamorphic rocks. The resistant rocks and the inherent geomorphology are the major factors responsible for the stability of the coastlines. Tobago has a different geological history from Trinidad. The northeastern two-thirds of the island is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks whereas the southwestern third consists of coral line limestone. This distribution of geology has influenced the nature of Tobago's coastlines. The coral line region is less rugged and indented than the other region.

Ab: The problem of providing appropriate and safe public access to the coastline is one that has been confronting coastal zone managers and planners in Barbados for the last 20 years. Despite the presence of some 58 access points, there have been numerous complaints about the inadequate nature of the accesses, particularly with respect to quality of service and facilities. Issues relating to ownership of dry beach lands, land owners' assumption of ownership of artificially created beach lands, the public's misuse of rights-of-way over private land, and the threats to increased defacto 'privatization 'of beaches as coastal development continues, all speaks to the need for a strategic approach to coastline access management. Such a strategy can be integrated into an overall coastal zone management policy, having the essential ingredients of sound planning namely the identification and development of existing accesses, the acquisition of new access space, and the relevant legislative reform. Set within a multiple use framework to coastal planning these task appears to be attainable.

The climate, tidal effect and hydrogeology of both islands are the same with the landmasses differing only in size. Thus, the effect of size in fresh water lens formation can be isolated. On the tiny Carrie Bow Cay with a width of 38 meters, a very thin fresh water layer of a few centimeters forms in the wet season, while on South Water Cay with a width of 100 meters, a fresh water layer almost one meter thick develops. During the dry season only a brackish water transition zone exists on Carrie Bow Cay and the fresh water layer on South Water Cay shrinks to about 0.5 meter.

Ab: The number of beaches and the beauty of the coastal areas of Antigua and Barbuda have been the basis for a steep rise in tourism in the last decade, which has resulted in commensurate acceleration of development in the coastal zone. The building of hotels and tourism related facilities has resulted in the draining of important salt pond and mangrove areas, and the need for deep water access for cruise ships has necessitated the dredging of habour areas. Such developments threaten possible long-term environmental damage. Because of the priority which have been given to the development of tourism and its wealth generating importance, it is only recently that attention has started to be given to the co-ordination of the activities which put considerable stress on the coastal zone. This paper assesses the legislative and institutional responses to these problems.

Ab: This report focuses on the issues surrounding the problem of beach sand mining today in St. Lucia. The use of beach sand as a fine aggregate in the construction industry is detailed and the associated problems of beach sand extraction discussed. The need to sustain a healthy construction industry is recognized, but at the same time attention is drawn to the negative impacts of this process. The available statistics generated by Government reports indicate that the demand for fine aggregate has grown steadily during the past decade. An overview of the block manufacturing industry including raw materials and production costs is provided. Numerous options are available to provide the construction industry with alternative sources of fine aggregate without compromising the quality of the concrete product. These options discussed in the report include offshore dredging, sand importation, pumice importation from Martinique and pumice production in St. Lucia. In summary, all of the latter activities are deemed viable with the exception of offshore

dredging because of its considerable negative environmental impacts.

Ab: One of the most distinctive features of tropical and subtropical carbonate coasts is their tendency to lithify to form beach rock eolianite. Once formed, the beach rock and eolianite is more easily eroded by chemical and physical processes than is volcanic rock. Since these coastlines shift rather rapidly from their unconsolidated to their consolidated, and back once again to their unconsolidated forms, the amount of sediment supplied to the longshore transport system is extremely variable. As a result, coastal processes change more rapidly in these areas than along the coastlines of more northerly and southerly latitudes.

Th: Submitted to University of the West Indies, St. Augustine presented for the degree M.Sc.

Ab: At present, Trinmar Ltd. an offshore oil recovery company which operates out of the Borough of Point Fortin is faced with a serious threat to their production system. The coastal erosion process which occurs on the southwest coast of Trinidad has propagated a landslide which has undermined some of the supports to the main trunk gathering pipelines. Trinmar's 34,000 bopd production will be interrupted for an indefinite period if the pipelines are broken or fractured in any way. This worse case scenario must not be allowed to occur and consequently, a proposal for the effective removal of this threat is required. This report generated and considered several alternatives solutions to the problem and has recommended a beach revetment which offers coastal protection and a system of cantilevered overhead supports for the pipelines at the cliff top at a total estimated project cost of $2,340.000.

To facilitate this process an evaluation tool was devised to assess level of post-training activity, knowledge of shelter management procedures and community resources, health knowledge and attitude all of which combined resulted in a total performance score which in turn reflected the state of preparedness. Total mean performance was 81.l percent with a standard deviation of 9.1 percent. The majority of managers obtained scores between 73 percent and 93 percent. Positive significant associations were found between age and level of performance (p0.05), post training activity versus knowledge (p0.05) and knowledge versus attitude (p0.05). Level of performance did not differ significantly with type of employment (p0.05).

Regarding recovery, the intent is to derive recommendations for developing successful recovery planning programs that make reconstructed

localities less vulnerable to future disasters, and to enhance prospects for distributing recovery aid on the basis of need, and to improve local capability to undertake sustainable development efforts. In addition to any usefulness this study may have as a description and evaluation of the planning, response, and recovery experiences in the eastern Caribbean, the authors hope it will aid in the development of disaster recovery planning programs in countries that have not recently experienced a disastrous event.

Ab: Shoreline erosion and accretion are amongst the most visible changes affecting coastal areas. These changes assume considerable significance especially in Caribbean islands due to concentration of population, infrastructure and economic activity along narrow coastal plains. Land loss is having direct and immediate impact on coastal construction, communications and the tourism industry, among other areas. For many territories the absence of alternative sites and the impracticality of relocation requires that engineering options must be used to stabilise coastal areas. This background paper on coastal changes (1) reviews the literature on shoreline changes for the Caribbean region (2) analyses the scale of the problems caused by such changes (3) recommends programme areas that can be developed by UWI to address the problems.

Ab: Considerations for sustainable development shed new light on the problems associated with waste conservation and the collection and disposal of wastes. The destruction of forests, particularly on hillsides has profound negative impacts on water supply systems, as well as leading to problems of soil erosion and landslides. Adequate supplies of water, with respect to quality and quantity, are essential for community health. Large sections of the populations of the Caribbean are not served directly by a public supply. Systems for the collecting and disposing of domestic wastewater are poorly developed. Quality standards for treated wastewater have not been established. In the absence of centralised sewerage systems, wastes are currently disposed of on-site and most installations do not treat `grey-water` which becomes a pollutant. Wastewater should be treated as a valuable resource since it can be used in aquaculture and as a source of irrigation and cooling water. Treatment methods should be appropriate to Caribbean traditions. The increase in volume and variety of solid wastes imposes severe problems in locating suitable sites for disposal in sanitary landfills. Proper forward planning is essential. Greater attention should be paid to recycling and the potential for pollution of aquifers by solid waste leachates.

Ab: Cancer and cardiovascular diseases which are associated with industrialisation and exposure to carcinogens and toxic chemicals are now a major problem in the region. The first line of approach to protect the health of the workers and the general public is to develop and effect occupational health and safety programmes in the region. The second

approach is to strengthen Pesticide and Hazardous Substances Control Boards to control the importation of carcinogens and highly toxic chemicals and thirdly to monitor carcinogens in the food chain. In its effort to protect human health, which is the most valuable resource for sustainable economic development, CERMES has proposed four programmes involving training of occupational health personnel for leadership positions to study the toxicity and mutagenicity of chemicals and to assess and investigate the industrial hazards of toxic chemicals in the food chain.

Ab: Geological maps of Trinidad and of regional tectonics show a major east-west trending fault system in the contact zone between the Mesozoic metamorphic belt of the Northern Range and the Cenozoic sedimentary Northern Basin. Although the official geology map of Trinidad presents this fault system as an inferred feature, the passage of time has bestowed an element of fact to this structure without the benefit of confirmatory evidence. The tacit acceptance of the existence of the El Pilar Fault zone in northern Trinidad has given rise to its designation as the plate margin or boundary zone between the Caribbean plate and the South American plate. Whereas recent advances in the study of the Venezuelan counterpart section of the El Pilar system have provided supporting evidence for an active strike slip fault zone, the opposite seems to be the case with the postulated Trinidad extension of this fault system. The implications of an active or potentially active El Pilar fault are very far reaching for an appreciation of the earthquake hazard exposure of Trinidad, as well as for the interpretation of regional tectonic models. This paper re-examines the El Pilar fault system against a background of geological and seismological data and concludes that the case for an active seismic zone or strike-slip plate margin is obscure.

Barbados record folding of the emergent crest of the lesser Antilles accretionary prism (Barbados Ridge complex) since ca.1 Ma. Three northeast-striking folds are defined by systematic changes in altitudes in the crest of the First High Cliffs, a mostly constructional terrace of about 125 Ka, and second High Cliff, a partially erosional reef terrace of about 500 ka. The folds have wavelength of 6 to 8 km and fold axes extend about 10 km. The largest anticline rises to the northeast, where it is breached by erosion exposing highly deformed Eocene to lower Miocene rocks of the Scotland District. Uplift rates based on the height of the last interglacial First High Cliff range from 0.07 to 0.44 mm/yr. Quaternary folding on Barbados indicates that the crest of the accretionary prism continues to be an active fold belt undergoing nortwest- southeast shortening.

people and economies of island nations in the Eastern Caribbean. Landslides are a common natural hazard causing loss of life and property in these countries. These losses drain the resources from

more productive economic activities. Often, the significance of landslide impacts is assumed in decision-making which generally results in an under-representation of actual losses. The effort required to determine the significance of landslide impacts improves landslide risk reduction. Knowing significance as well as the degree of hazard present and the economic elements at risk enables a more effective combination of passive and active mitigation measures to be chosen. It also ensures these measures are applied to the more critical locations.

Ab: Hurricanes Gilbert (8-19 September 1988) and Hugo (10-22 September 1989) are two of the largest and most destructive landfalling hurricanes in recent history. Differences in regional geography and type of coastal development, as well as storm size, tracks, and tidal stage at landfall had profound effects at the storm response of developed shorelines. In both Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico (Gilbert) and South Carolina (Hugo), storm damage was increased by notching or removing dunes for development or beach access and by sitting development at low elevations or "too close" to the shoreline. High and wide dune fields, coastal forest, construction at high elevations, and building setback helped mitigate storm damage.

Application of advanced hydro-meteorological forecasting techniques is expected to provide timely and reliable warning of impending flood events. The proposed site of the base station is the Office of the National Meteorological Service, which is to be manned on a 24-hour basis. Installation of this system will be accompanied by a public education programme in the communities at risk in the basin.

On the other hand, the

waters of Tobago Sound had a mean DDPH level of 0.46 ug.L-1 which would suggest contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons.

Ab: Results are presented from the first eleven years of operation of a radio-linked seismograph network in the Trinidad and Tobago region. All earthquakes of magnitude (mb) greater than about 2.8 have been relocated using the method of joint hypocentral determination (JHD). The results show an extremely complex pattern of seismicity and are presented as a set of maps showing earthquakes in different depth ranges. Important features of the earthquake distribution are that the supposed continuation of the El Pilar fault through the northern part of Trinidad has not been seismically active for at least the past decade and that there is significant source of immediate-depth earthquakes to the east of Trinidad, the existence of which was previously unknown. Our interpretation of the results favours oblique ongoing collision between the Lesser Antilles island arc and

160

the South American continent rather than predominantly east-west slip motion.

12(Special Issue/edited by Rafi Ahmad):3-9, 1992. Ab: The present status of seismicity studies in the Greater

and Lesser Antilles is discussed with reference to the adequacy of the existing data base for studies of Caribbean tectonics, of earthquake hazard and of the recognition of seismicity patterns important for seismic hazard studies and earthquake prediction. It is demonstrated that existing databases such as those of the NEIC and ISC are generally inadequate for these purposes. Two reasons for this are identified. One reason is that in some crucial areas of the Caribbean, notably the western two-thirds of the islands of Hispaniola and Jamaica, an insufficient number of seismograph stations is in operation. A second reason is that there is insufficient data exchange between the existing agencies within the region and that many valuable original data are either unavailable or are published only in obscure reports. It is suggested that rectification of these two defects should be a major objective of the forthcoming International Decade of Natural Hazard Reduction. In the meantime, researchers, who use existing seismicity catalogues should pay close attention to their completeness and homogeneity.

designed in order to issue flood warnings to the communities threatened by flood events. The basic idea is that the system should be operated by the community itself using very simple procedures. The lower Rio Cobre was selected as a pilot area for developing this system. The river stage and the occurrence time of floods at Caymanas Bridge near Caymanas Estate are predicted based on rainfall information (either forecasted or observed) and the observed upstream river stage. Simple forecasting diagrams have been developed so the forecasters can easily predict the occurrence of a flood. The development of the system is one of the activities of the Flood Plain Mapping Project, sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme and

executed by the World Meteorological Organisation in cooperation with the Office of Disaster Preparedness and other Jamaican government agencies.

So: Geology; 20(1):23-6, 1992. Ab: Just prior to the passage of Hurricane Hugo over St.

Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, 35 molluscan skeletal samples were collected at 30 m intervals along a sampling transect in Salt River Bay, on the north-central coast. Three months after the hurricane, the transect was resampled to permit direct assessment of storm effects on skeletal distributions. Results indicate that spatial zonation of molluscan accumulations, associated with environmental transitions along the transect, was maintained in the wake of the hurricane. However, limited transport was diagnosed by comparing the compositions of prestorm and poststorm samples from the deepest, mud-rich subenvironment on the transect. In aggregate, the species richness of samples from the southern half of this zone increased from 16 to 40, and the abundance of species that were not among the characteristic molluscs of this subenvironment increased from 11 to 26. These storm effects could probably not have been recognised, and attributed directly to Hugo, had there been no prestorm samples with which to compare directly the poststorm samples.

So: Biotropica; 24(3):362-74, 1992. . Ab: Between 24 May and 4 June 1986 the island of

Jamaica experienced up to 635 mm of rainfall producing island wide flooding. Plankton communities along the south coast were studied before and after the flooding. Floodwaters from Kingston Harbour flowed southwest along the Hellshire coast as far as Wreck Reef but were confined within 4 km of the shore. Water in the bay along the lower Hellshire coast remained clear and unaffected by Harbour water, although planktonic communities showed marked changes. The Port Royal Cays area and much of the shelf was unaffected. During the flood the normal gradient of

161

decline in planktonic indices (biomass, abundance, and community similarity) with distance from the Harbour was disrupted. The extent of the flooding was evident from dramatic reductions in salinity and increases in extinction coefficient; temperatures were lowered by only l to 2oC. Flood effects were confined to the upper water column; whereas, surface salinity and phytoplankton were dramatically changed, they remained largely unaffected at 7m depth. In surface waters, the number of phytoplankton cells increased up to 4 x 106 per liter (5 times greater than normal) while biomass increased to 30mg Chl a/m3 (10 times normal) and primary production reached 20.5 mg C/m3/hr (20 times normal).

The study was conducted in 50 km2 of coastal area stretching south south-west from the mouth of Kingston Harbour and undertaken to assess the pollution status of the area. By considering the percentages of the fine components of the sediments and enrichment factors based on the average composition of representative carbonate sediments taken from the area, the sources of non-marine sediments have been identified. By considering enrichment factors based on the average composition of a sedimentary shale it has been shown that the area has not been contaminated, for the elements under study, by sediments reaching the coastal area from the identified sources.

the Bahamas. So: Journal of the Geological Society of Jamaica;

12(Special Issue/Rafi Ahmad):66-73, 1992. Ab: In the Bahamas, a variety of liquid wastes have been

disposed of via boreholes for a number of years. The most common of these wastes include storm water, raw sewage, treated effluent, heated brine and cooling water. A smaller but no less significant component comprises the by-products of various industrial and commercial enterprises, some of which may be toxic. All constitute a threat to valuable ground-water resources. Subsurface investigations have failed to reveal any shallow aquicludes in the Bahamas that could be used to prevent mixing between the wastes

disposed of at depth and shallow fresh-water lenses. Instead zones of high transmissivity are used as receiving zones, and it is assumed that wastes are rapidly mixed, diluted and dispersed at these horizons, thus nufflifying any threat that they may pose to the environment. The zones of high transmissivity correspond to cavernous horizons that developed in the subsurface carbonates in relationship to low sea level and stratigraphic disconformities. Several such horizons occur in the Lucayan Limestone, but these vary in depth regionally. More widespread cavern zones occur beneath the base of the Lucayan limestone and at depths that equate to the Pleistocene sea level lows. These are the main ones used for deep well disposal. A good deal more research is needed.

in Puerto Rico. So: Journal of Tropical Ecology; 8: 47-55, 1992. Ab: Hurricane Hugo of September 1989 caused severe

damage to the rain forest in the north-east corner of Puerto Rico. We assessed the severity of damage distributed in space, species, and size-classes of trees in the Bisley Watersheds of the Luquillo Experimental Forest. We analyzed pre- and post-hurricane data for vegetation from transects established in 1987 and 1988. The severity of damage was significantly greater in valleys than on ridges and slopes. All the species except Dacryodew excelsa, sloanea berteriana, and guarea guidonia showed 100 percent severe damage. Large trees (70 cm DBH) were highly susceptible to hurricane damage, but there was no clear pattern in the small size-classes. D. excelsa (tabonuco) was the most resistant to damage by the hurricane. Tabonuco which has extensive root-grafts and root anchorage to bedrock and subsurficial rocks, apparently can survive frequent hurricanes and continue as a dominant species in this montane tropical rain forest. The high frequency of hurricanes, which can override other ecological and topographic factors, may largely determine the overall spatial pattern of species in this rain forest.

September 1989. Sustained winds in excess of 110 knots (gusts to 165 knots) and waves 6-7 m in height accompanied the storm. Along the north coast, wave height was lower (Ca 3-4 m) due to the leeward position of the shelf. In the deeper reefs at Cane Bay and Salt River, damage was confined primarily to the soft-bodied benthic community (e.g. sponges, gorgonians): coral damage was much less severe, largely because of the buffering effects of the water column. The greatest change observed after the storm was the wholesale flushing of sand from shelf-edge areas. In Salt River submarine canyon, a minimum of 2 million kg of sediment were flushed into deeper water. The transport rate associated with the storm was eleven orders of magnitude above that measured during fair-weather, and the volume of sediment that was removed from the canyon equalled roughly a century of normal sediment accumulation. At Cane Bay, 336,000 kg of sediment were flushed from a single channel, with similar amounts removed from adjacent breaks in the shelf-edge reef. Specifically the paper describes the patterns of reef damage and sediment transport and an attempt is made to show that factors other than the severity of the wave regime must be understood to characterise adequately the possible effects.

On the other hand, these geoscientists have little control over systems effecting the evolution of the global component, embracing such concerns as the greenhouse effect, the ozone layer, and sea level changes. Nevertheless, the Caribbean geoscientist and other environmentalists have the obligation to keep regional governmental, commercial and educational institutions continuously informed of global as well as local environmental situations, and to promote and encourage these institutions, and the community at large, into developing practices on local scale, such as control of atmospheric emissions and afforestation, which may be beneficial in attempting to stablize or ameliorate the global situation.

history of natural disaster experience associated with such hazards as tropical storms, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides and drought. The impact on affected societies has consistently been debilitating, often resulting in the retardation of planned development. In spite of this long history of natural hazard experience, little effort has been made to adopt, design and development practices which could mitigate the impact. The point is made that, though there are some limitations in present damage assessment methods, there is little doubt about the extensive economic and social impacts of natural hazards on the region's societies. In many instances, damage could be significantly reduced through simple adjustments in our human use systems. The need, therefore, for natural hazard considerations in our development planning is forcibly emphasized.

Ab: The Lesser Antilles is widely accepted as a typical calc-alkaline continental margin island arc chain. The expression of volcanism is related to subjection of an oceanic plate along a Benioff zone, which in this case dips westward from the West Atlantic Plate. Although rhyolites and under saturated basalts are present at the northern and southern ends, respectively, the dominant chemical compositions are clearly of an andesitic nature. Lesser Antilles volcanism is characterised by high explosivity and dome-building phases. The violent eruptions constitute a major hazard-creating factor in that they are disposed to generating, among other phenomena, many types of pyroclastic flows such as basaltic-andesite (St. Vincent type), andesitic block and ash flows (Peleean type), pumiceous ingimbrites, as well as a wide variety of associated surges and lahars. The Caribbean islands all have high population densities and in many instances throughout the volcanic chain large numbers of persons inhabit the lower flanks and adjoining areas which fall well within the range of very dangerous hazards from volcanoes. In recognition of the vulnerability of these communities it is imperative that volcanic hazard be identified in order to permit adequate risk assessments.

water in Jamaica has assumed great importance. An increased awareness by government of the value of the environment, and of the need to plan in order to match the pace of social development and population growth has led to greater emphasis on water resource planning and management. The main agencies concerned with water resource management in Jamaica are the Underground Water Authority (UWA), the National Water Commission (NWC), and the National Irrigation Commission (NIC). The roles and functions of these organisations are discussed along with Jamaica's Water Resources Development Master Plan (WRDMP) Project which commenced in 1984 with the following main objectives: (a) to provide a framework for rational decision-making in the development of water resources, and (b) to provide a strategy for meeting the current and future demand for water.

geotechnical appraisal. Pub: Chaguaramas; Institute of Marine Affairs; Oct. 1992.

64. Ab: Landslides are frequent geologic phenomena on the

steeper slopes of the island of Trinidad and are especially common on coastal cliffs on the east coast of the island. A geotechnical study was initiated on Radix Point (a headland) so as to examine the nature, causes and mechanisms of failure on these coastal cliffs. Three hundred and thirty (330) failures were mapped, 110 of which were associated with plastic and expansive mudrocks, especially shales. Two hundred and eight (208) failures were in weathered soils, with 110 failures in silty and clayey soils. Failures are between 5-10m, but can be up to 200m long. Soil slope failures are mainly flows, while bedrock failures are either rock falls or slides. Bedrock failures, although less frequent, are larger and more catastrophic and usually associated with cliff collapse in sandstones. More than 80 percent of failures occur on southwesterly dip slopes, especially where they overdip and are cataclinical. Soil failures are more frequent on slopes less than 30o, while bedrock failures are common on slopes greater than 30o. Some flows are especially common on slopes less than 15o. Steeper slopes of similar materials usually produce sliding movements, with minor flow components. Soil slope failures are progressive, while bedrock failures are retrogressive. Factors affecting slope failures include removal of basal and lateral slope support, rainfall, groundwater seepage, cleft and pore water pressure, changes in slope gradient, weathering, wave erosion, presence of discontinuities on rock slopes, high soil and shale plasticity and expansivity. Seepage parallel to slope lengths and the development of positive pore and cleft water pressure are key contributory elements to triggering of landslides during rainfall events, while wave erosion and slope undermining accelerate landslides activity, even during dry periods.

presented for the degree M.Phil. Ab: A study of the effects of the Alcan Bauxite/Alumina

Plant on the Rio Cobre and its tributaries was conducted during the period December 1987 to December 1989. This was done by investigating water and sediment samples at five sampling sites, three located on the Rio Cobre and two on its tributaries. Water samples were collected monthly and analysed for pH, alkalinity, sodium, hardness, aluminum and phosphorus. Daily samples were also taken for one week beginning 16/1/89). Sediment samples were collected only on three occasions (May and November 1988 and January 1989) and analysed for elemental content (17 elements) and organic and carbonate contents. Sequential extraction procedures to determine element speciation were attempted. The results indicate that the two tributaries are grossly contaminated with the parameter pH, alkalinity, sodium and aluminum (water), high concentrations of these parameters are indicative of contamination from the bauxite industry. The tributaries are also enriched (especially site 4) in the elements La, Sm, Eu and Dy. High arsenic concentrations were also observed at these sites. The Rio Cobre, although showing higher concentrations downstream, did not show concentrations above that typically encountered in rivers.

colonization and establishment of plants on landslides was investigated primarily by transplanting seedlings of three native tree species Alchornea latifolia, Clethra occidentalis and Vaccinium meridionale on to five "debris flow" landslides triggered by a hurricane in September 1988, and into five adjacent understorey areas at c. 1600m altitude in the Blue Mountains, Jamaica. Seedlings were given treatments of an application of organic fertilizer and/or a protective barrier against rockfalls. Mortality and growth of the seedlings were recorded five times over 15 months. Total mortality was significantly higher in the understorey, than on landslides for two of the three species (p0.01), and was significantly higher in the dry season only in the understorey (p 0.05). Height growth of seedlings was greater for two of the species on landslides than in the understorey (p 0.05). Fertilizer effects on height growth were not significant on landslides. In the understorey there was a significant negative effect of fertilizer on Clethra (p 0.05). There was also significant negative effects of barriers on seedling height/growth both on landslides and in the understorey.

Notes that in spite of the plethora of information systems, networks and organisations which deal with environmental information the region has no comprehensive environmental information system and its lack is keenly felt. Also notes that these small Caribbean island states are heavily dependent on activities which impact on the environment such as tourism, agriculture and fishing and within the last decade many environmental problems have been identified e.g., deforestation, contamination of rivers and streams, depletion of water supply, beach erosion, depletion of marine resources etc. Predicts that if we fail to address these problems with some measure of urgency environmental degradation will be the inevitable result.

The geology of Montego Bay consists predominantly of limestones and alluvial deposits, overlain by residual soils. The various geological and soil units are discussed; their engineering properties inferred both from previously published work and from the author's field investigations. The latent seismic risk in the area and its implications are discussed in detail, and a proposed seismic zonation of the area is presented. The overall suitability of the area's geology and soils for building sites, sanitary facilities and as a source of construction material is also estimated. The geology, soils, engineering geology and seismic data for the Montego Bay area are summarised on four colour-coded maps.

Ab: Jamaica's wetlands are a self-sustaining renewable natural resource. Their natural importance is far reaching and encompasses areas such as floodwater control, protection against coastal erosion, terrestrial sediment trapping and marine nursery functions. Jamaica's wetlands have, in recent times, come under intense scrutiny as a potential resource base. A significant level of interest was generated when exploitable resources of peat were identified in approximately 75 percent of the total wetlands area in Jamaica. In addition, interest in the tourist value of wetlands has been created and the ecological importance of wetlands is being revealed by researchers, spawning interest in national conservation of wetland resources, It is imperative that Jamaica take steps to develop its natural resources so as to provide the base on which economic development can occur. However, such development must be designed carefully, and strictly

169

controlled so that exploitation of natural resources, in this case wetlands, does not exceed the resource's capability to renew itself.

Ab: The deposit of porcellanite outcrops mainly in the southwestern corner of the island of Trinidad. Formed by the sintering of silts and clays, the Plio-Pliestocene deposit is potentially the largest source of construction aggregate in this part of the island. This

171

paper looks at the physical, chemical and engineering properties of this borderline lightweight aggregate and compares these with the properties of the traditional blue limestone (North Range) and quartzitic (Guanapo) aggregates currently used in the construction industry. The paper also addresses the suitability of the porcellanite aggregate for use in Portland cement concrete for housing. On the basis of engineering properties, test carried out and a review of existing literature, it was found that the strength, toughness and abrasion resistance of the procellanite aggregate compare favourably with the blue limestone and Guanapo aggregates. Although chemical analysis done on the porcellanite aggregate reveal sulphate contents (expressed as SO3) ranging between 0.05 and 4.5 per cent, the pozzolonic properties of the porcellanite dust negate the adverse effects of this high sulphate content.

So: Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene; 961-7, 1993.

Ab: This paper is a summary of the data for describing the distribution of injuries among people affected by tropical cyclones that have occurred during the past 20 years. The most striking feature of the data gathered from a review of the epidemiological literature on tropical cyclones is its lack of uniformity. The absence of an international classification and coding scheme for recording injuries sustained in cyclones also makes planning medical assistance difficult following future cyclones and hurricanes. We propose here a simple injury classification scheme comprising three components for categorizing injury data. Such a standardised disaster injury classification scheme, coupled with other types of information about injuries, will greatly aid relief officials in efficiently matching available resources to needs, in effectively managing health relief operations, and in developing strategies to prevent future cyclone-related morbidity and mortality.

activities degrading the marine environment are among the most intractable environmental problems of today because they involve so many essential and

widespread human activities. Over 20 years of regional conventions, international guidelines and control efforts have not resolved the problem. This was taken up as a major issue in UNCED, which emphasised a national and regional approach closely associated with integrated coastal area management. A follow-up intergovernmental meeting is planned for 1995, but other measures will also be needed at all levels. Integrated coastal area management is the key to a successful approach to this difficult problem, especially since available financial assistance is inadequate. The small island developing States are a special case featured in Agenda 21 which are also the topic of a follow-up conference. The islands may be able to demonstrate approaches to small-scale integrated management and sustainable development that could serve as a model for larger countries.

Caribbean can only be fully assessed after the overall cycle of individual or household migration has occurred. The impact varies with the destination and purpose of the migration, as well as the duration and periodicity of the moves. In addition, the characteristics of the communities, the priorities which they place upon agriculture and the value of agricultural assets within the wider socio-economic context plays a fundamental role in conditioning the part that migration plays at the micro-level of the household. This paper examines the impact of international migration upon the acquisition of land assets in Jamaica and evaluates the variation which takes place for migrations of different types and to destinations.

Upper St. Andrew, Jamaica. So: Caribbean Geography; 4(1):15-27, Mar. 1993. Ab: In Upper St. Andrew, slope failures on vegetated

slopes are very common geomorphic events, especially during and following torrential rainfall. Field observations of failures revealed that grasses, bamboo, shrubs, and tree species contribute to the cohesion of surficial soil layers. However, this effect can create mechanical anisotropy between surface-bound and underlying soil layers. Consequently, a shear plane can develop at this interface, attenuating slope failure conditions and, ultimately leading to failure of the surface soil layers. Translational debris block slides are the main result of these conditions on hillslopes in Upper St. Andrew. These conditions also suggest that vegetation can contribute to slope instability, thereby decreasing the long term stability of hillslopes.

Ab: Relative change in sea level has provided underlying control on a general picture of shoreline retreat during the Holocene epoch within the Intra-Americas Sea. Retreat has been caused by landward migration of coastal lowlands, including wetlands, in response to rising water levels assisted by sediment transfer through physical processes. Land loss has persisted despite a decrease in the rate of sea-level rise over the last 5000 years, though locally at river mouths and in sheltered wetland locations recent progradation has occurred. Inadequate beach-sand management practices, coastal construction and hurricanes have contributed significantly to recent coastal changes. Regionally relative sea level is rising at an average of 3 mm/yr, but considerable variability is evident. Locally this may not be due to vertical tectonic motion because extrapolated rates of land movement, while subject to error in interpretation, are often an order of magnitude of lower than historical rates of sea-level rise. The cause(s) of variation in sea-level records across the region remains to be identified. All countries of this region stand to suffer the consequences of future sea level rise impacts. Especially at risk are low-lying island chains - including the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos and Caymans - and continental areas with coastal plains supporting dense populations near to or below present sea level, primarily the Guianas, Central America (Belize) and the heavily developed barrier islands of the Gulf of Mexico and Florida. Tourism based economies of the Antillean islands may be badly affected by loss of remaining pocket beaches already narrow and sediment-starved shelves. Potential problems can be addressed through greater understanding of regional sea-level variability,

especially by strengthening the Global Sea Level Observing System; territorial studies to define the local extent of risk from sea-level change and cost-benefit analysis of response options identified; development of vulnerability indices for sea level and hurricane-related coastal impacts; environmental-impact assessment on coastal development, incorporating climate change considerations and institutional strengthening in relation to decision-making on coastal land-loss issues. These improvements are necessary to combat existing problems whether or not a greenhouse-related pulse of increased sea-level rise is superimposed on present trends.

Pub:Kingston; UNEP/CEP; 1993. 43. Ab: Global climate change, and particularly the impact of

human activities on Earth's biogeographical environment, is of enormous socioeconomic and ecological importance. It is the regional effects of global change, however, that weighs most heavily on individual lives because of the complexity of local response to a world-wide phenomenon. This report summarizes the opinion of a Task Team of 23 experts concerning the implications of climate change in the Intra-Americas Sea (Gulf of Mexico - Caribbean Sea - Bahamas - Bermuda - Guianas), of a global l.5oC temperature and 20 cm sea level rise by

174

the year 2025. For some ecosystems in the region, the effect of temperature rise is much more important than sea level rise, and vice versa for others; for some neither are particularly vulnerable to a modest temperature rise. Estuaries, wetlands, lagoons and seagrass beds will all be moderately affected by both the 1.5oC and 20 cm scenarios. The two other very important ecosystems, mangroves and coral reefs, are expected to experience extreme stress due to local anthropogenic activities such as deforestation, coastal development, runoff, overfishing, and tourism. Seven socioeconomic issues were also studied in the context of local response to global change; tourism and the influence of tropical storms are considered most important vis a vis levels of vulnerability. As with the ecosystems, some other socioeconomic issues are more affected by sea level rise (e.g. settlements and structures, and cultural heritage) than temperature rise (which mostly affects coastal zones, public health, and human migration). In addition to evaluating the effects of 1.5oC and 20 cm global rises, the Task Team discussed the potential local rates of temperature and sea level rise and found that for the Intra-Americas Sea, less climatic change is expected than for other areas of Earth, but that human population pressure will significantly stress the region's environment. Finally, the authors report on new computer-based decision-making tools for evaluating the effects of climatic change, tools that will give decision makers quantitative information upon which to base new policies for management.

degrade the land. So: Journal of Environmental Management; 40(1):51-64,

Jan. 1994. Ab: In this paper it is argued that an increased

understanding of the linkages between farmers' economic incentives to control soil degradation, degradation-induced productivity decline and future farmland productivity is essential for the formulation of effective land degradation and soil management policies. As a basis for the argument, a comprehensive farm-level economic model for the optimum private and social utilization of soil over time is developed. Complexities in the decision due to environmental conditions and other uncertainties are considered. It is shown that, if farmers are well informed, they will tolerate soil degradation only to the point where the marginal net returns from depleting soil depth, fertility or structure equal the marginal profits foregone from conserving these productive aspects of the soil. Efficiency-related technical progress is found to provide incentives for reduced rates of soil degradation. It is also found that the optimum private rate of soil degradation is not likely to mimic the socially optimal rate unless capital markets and farm input and output markets operate efficiently and competitively. The potential for monetary and fiscal policy to impact on private rates of soil utilization is highlighted as a topic for further detailed investigation. Finally, it is argued that external costs and benefits from farming activity, which have not as yet been comprehensively quantified, may be the single most important cause of any differential between the optimum private and social rates of soil degradation.

Dec. 1994. Ab: Statistics and periodicities in the April-May-June

rainfall were investigated. The rainfall was more intensive in May than in April and June. April rainfall had longer periodicities than June, with May falling in between. Some of the April periodicities can be correlated to the solar activity during the westerly phase of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) at 15 mb. A partial explanation is offered in terms of the coincidence of cold fronts and increased solar radiation. The possible association of one of the May periodicities with the occurrence of El Nino was investigated and an association between heavy rainfall (over 300 mm) in May and the occurrence of El Nino was found. Other periodicities are discussed. The April showers of 1993 are explained in terms of abnormally cold weather in North America and the May rainfall of 1993 is associated with a mature phase of the El Nino.

forest landscapes. So: Ecological Monographs; 64(1):369-400, Nov. 1994. Ab: Hurricanes represent an important natural disturbance

process to tropical and temperate forests in many coastal areas of the world. The complex patterns of damage created in forests by hurricane winds result from the interaction of meteorological, physiographic and biotic factors on a range of spatial scales. To improve our understanding of these factors and of the role of catastrophic hurricane wind a disturbance process, we take an integrative approach. A simple meteorological model (HURRECON) utilizes meteorological data to reconstruct wind conditions at specific sites and regional gradients in wind speed and direction during a hurricane. A simple topographic

177

exposure model (EXPOS) utilizes wind direction predicted by HURRRECON and a digital elevation may estimate landscape-level exposure to the strongest winds. Actual damage to forest stands is assessed through analysis of remotely sensed, historical and field data These techniques were used to evaluate the characteristics and impacts of two important hurricanes; Hurricane Hugo (1989) in Puerto Rico and the 1938 New England Hurricane, storms of comparable magnitude in regions that differ greatly in climate, vegetation, physiograpahy, and disturbance regimes. In both cases patterns of damage on a regional scale were found to agree with the predicted distribution of peak wind gust velocities. On a landscape scale there was also good agreement between patterns of forest damage and predicted exposure in the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico and the town of Petersham, Massachusetts. At the Harvard and Pisgah Forests in Central New England the average orientation of wind-thrown trees was very close to the predicted peak wind direction, while at Luquillo there was also good agreement, with some apparent modification of wind direction by the mountainous terrain. At Harvard Forest there was evidence that trees more susceptible to windthrow were felled earlier in the storm. This approach may be used to study the effects of topography on wind direction and the relation of forest damage to wind speed and duration; to establish broad-scale gradients of hurricane frequency, intensity, and wind direction for particular regions; and to determine landscape-level exposure to long-term hurricane disturbance at particular sites.

after a hurricane. So: Journal of Ecology; 82(4):747-58, 1994. Ab: Forests in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica were

damaged by Hurricane Gilbert which passed over the island on 12 September, 1988. In plots between 1300-1900 m, recorded 5-41 months after the hurricane, most stems (61.4// of 4949 living stems) and most species (44 of 47 common species) had sprouts. Comparing species, percent of stems sprouting ranged from 0 to 100 percent. Broken stems sprouted proportionately more than intact stems; completely defoliated stems sprouted proportionately more than those not completely defoliated; there was no difference between uprooted and upright stems; and stems 10 cm d.b.h. sprouted more frequently and produced more sprouts per stem, than those 10 cm d.b.h. Sixteen of 27 species had sprouts before the hurricane and these sprouts grew more rapidly in height after the hurricane. Of the species with d30 sprouting stems, four sprouted more from below 2.5 m, five more from above 2.5 m and five had sprouts evenly distributed. For all species combined, approximately equal numbers of stems fell into each of these three categories. Survivorship up to 41 months after the hurricane was higher in stems with sprouts than those without. There was no simple relationship between the frequency of sprouting of species and microenvironments where seed germination and seedling establishments have been recorded. However, eight common species which have rarely been observed to germinate or establish (in a wide range of conditions) had high frequencies of sprouting. We propose that sprouting is an important mechanism by which many species maintain their presence in these forests.

178

Guadeloupe in 3100 BP are thought to be remnants of the cryptodome. They were observed in analytical transmission electron microscopy for clues to the evolution of the intrusion prior to the eruption. Several features that could potentially be used as temperature markers were identified, among which the angle between microexsolutions of magnetite in augite phenocrysts was used to find an upper boundary of the temperature of the intrusion before the eruption: 600-70o C. Calculation of the time a dyke or sphere-shaped intrusion may have taken to cool from the emplacement temperature down to the temperature of exsolution of the magnetite leads to an estimate of the time between emplacement of the intrusion and the eruption, which could not have been less than a few tens of years. It therefore seems probable that the emplacement of the magmatic intrusion was not the immediate cause of the flank destabilization and catastrophic eruption of the Soufriere in 3100 BP.

The dominant woody species on all sites was Clethra occidentalis: fast-growing pioneer species characteristic of the forest edge were generally absent. Vegetation development on these sites was slow. On the 15-yr-old sites almost all individual were 1 m in stem length, and on older landslides all individuals were 5 m in stem length. For 15-yr-old sites, harvested aboveground biomass ranged between 350 and 820 g/m2, 79 percent of which was accounted for by a nitrogen-fixing lichen. On the oldest landslides, biomass ranged between 970 and 4690 g/m2 and was accounted for primarily by woody plants. Foliar concentrations of N, P, K, and Ca all increased (P0.01, data for all species combined) from the 15-yr-old to the older sites.

Ab: Landslides, together with floods, have caused more recurrent economic losses and social hardships in the Rio Minho watershed than any other natural hazard. This trend will continue as new developments encroach on potentially unstable slopes. Past damage indicates the need for a systematic assessment of the landslide hazard that exists in the region. Land-use planning in the watershed has not taken into account the constraints imposed by landslide processes. A landslide hazard zonation map of the Rio Minho watershed has been prepared on a scale of 1.30,000 using the techniques of factor analysis and non-hierarchical cluster analysis. The landslide hazard map divides the watershed into four sub-areas according to the relative potential of hazard from landslides.

This map is well-suited to the needs of regional land-use planners. In order to test the reliability of our hazard zonation, we monitored the incidence of landslides in the Rio Minho watershed during the years 1991-1993, especially those generated by the storm event of May 1991; this was the most significant event as far as slope failures were concerned. It was observed that, during the 1991 event, the landslides were widespread within the areas mapped as zones of moderate to high susceptibility. The occurrences of landslide landforms in the study area are profoundly influenced by geology and structure. An average 24 hour rainfall in excess of 300mm was established as an estimated threshold value sufficient to initiate widespread landslide activity.

evolution of the Caribbean region: a 60th birthday celebration in honour of Professor Edward Robinson: tributes, programme & abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies (Mona), 1994.

Ab: Detailed geological and structural mapping in the Above Rocks Inlier during 1988-1990 has yielded new data which permit significant revision of the existing Jamaican 1:50,000 geological sheets #22 and #25. Our revised map of the inlier has been compiled at a scale of 1:12,500. The stratigraphic nomenclature of sheets #22 and #25 has been retained, while outcrop boundaries have been modified and lithological data added. Among the primary modifications are the recognition of lithological variations within formations; the structural database (with respect to joints, faults, mylonite zones, lineations, foliations, orientations of bedding and kinematic indicators) has been expanded; and alteration/mineralization zones have been mapped, noting the types and modes of occurrence of sulphide minerals. Some of the results and interpretations are:- (1) the contact between the Mount Charles Formation and the overlying Border Volcanic Formation may be conformable. (2) The Border Volcanic Formation was intruded by the Above Rocks granitoid. (3) The Above Rocks granitoid is compositionally zoned. (4) The trace of the E-W trending Cavaliers' Fault appears to follow part of the southern boundary of the inlier. (5) Tertiary limestone outliers and outcrops along the southern border of the inlier are reinterpreted as landslide deposits. (6) The southern and western margins of

180

the inlier appear to be major faults. (7) The maximum length of dykes is about 300 m.

Ab: The earth sciences embrace broad inter-disciplinary areas of research and application which are being used to address pressing issues of coastal zone management (CZM) in the Caribbean region. Examples of Earth Science applications to CZM are explained through case studies which include:-(1) Assessment of causative processes, and rates of shoreline and water level change (for example, sea-level), for determination of set-back requirements and for solution of erosion problems. (2) Investigation of non-metallic, shelf sediment sources for use in construction and beach renourishment projects. (3) Investigation of sources of alternative energy. (4) Environmental impact assessment of coastal development and engineering projects. (5) Risk assessment of hazards from earthquakes, tsunami and flooding. (6) Strategic planning for integrated coastal zone management, including institutional and technical assessment for design of CZM programs. (7) Projections for climate-change impacts on coastal and shelf areas. The planning process for CZM is no longer the preserve of individual disciplines and increasingly relies on cross-sectoral design, implementation and monitoring in which the Earth Sciences play an important part.

past and future. So: In: Donovan, Stephen K. ed. Geological and

biological evolution of the Caribbean region: a 60th birthday celebration in honour of Professor Edward Robinson, tributes, programme & abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies (Mona), 1994.

Ab: Jamaica lies in an earthquake zone, but the risk from earthquakes varies between different parts of the island. Portmore, parish of St. Catherine, lies to the west of Kingston and has a suburban relationship with the capital city. Kingston was founded after much of Port Royal disappeared beneath the sea

during the earthquake of 1692. The capital has subsequently suffered many earthquakes, but none have been as devastating. Though not as well-represented in the historical records as Kingston, the Portmore area has also endured earthquake devastation in the past. Local geology and proximity to potential epicentres combine to place Portmore at risk from earthquake damage. Variations in local geology caused by tectonic and other natural forces, and also by man, will certainly play a role in determining vulnerable microzones. The Wagwater Belt is important as a potential site for generating damaging earthquakes. It lies near to Portmore and may have been the epicentre for high intensity events in the past; it is likely to be so in the future. The risk of earthquake damage to Portmore must be considered in light of historical records, population density and continuing development. The high percentage of land used for residential purposes (with resulting high population density), the prevalent use of construction materials of high mass (excellent for withstanding hurricanes, but undesirable for earthquakes) and the large number of housing units constructed in recent years, combined with variables like when an earthquake may strike, places Portmore at greater risk than many parts of nearby Kingston.

So: In: Donovan, Stephen K. Geological and biological evolution of the Caribbean region: a 60th birthday celebration in honour of Professor Edward Robinson: tributes, programme & abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies (Mona), 1994.

Ab: The island of Jamaica is located within a seismically active plate boundary zone. Neogene strike-slip tectonics has produced major compression and uplift in the Jamaican region. Vertical and horizontal displacements along faults have resulted in a mountainous topography manifested as a 'block and belt' structure. Some 75 percent of the relief is characterised by slopes over 20o, underlain by intensely jointed, faulted and weathered bedrock. Neotectonic uplift has enhanced chemical weathering and mass movements. Jamaica is especially subject to slope movements because of particular combinations of geological history and rock type, its tectonic setting and the geographic location. The presence of mountains extending along the path of moisture-laden winds facilitate heavy orographic rainfall. Inherent slope instability factors include fault scarps,

181

altered bedrock, caps of competent strata, alternating permeable and impermeable rocks, gypsum and anhydrite along formational contacts, and abundant discontinuities in slopes. These variables combine to produce a sensitive terrain where hydrolic and seismic factors are particularly effective in producing high rates of slope movement. A majority of the slopes are unable to sustain high relief under these conditions. Notwithstanding local variations, the landslide landforms are essentially ubiquitous; streams are choked with landslide debris (often forming landslide dams) and debris flow deposits appear to dominate alluvial fans. A scientific understanding of the physical environment and geodynamic processes are considered essential as guides to the formulation of public policy on the sustainable use of the limited land resources of Jamaica and other small island states.

Jamaica. So: In: Donovan, Stephen K. Geological and biological

evolution of the Caribbean region: a 60th birthday celebration in honour of Professor Edward Robinson: tributes, programme & abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies (Mona), 1994.

Ab: Recent mapping has shown that the structure of the Above Rocks Inlier is dominated by brittle and brittle-ductile shear zones which define the following trends:015o, 090o, 115o, 135o and 160o. Major joint sets are also parallel to these trends. The overall orientation of shear zones and joints in the inlier follow major fault trends known from the rest of the island. This pattern appears to be consistent with the restraining bend geometry and the location of the island within a broad zone of Neogene left-lateral strike-slip deformation. The late cretaceous Above Rocks granitoid appears to be an epizonal, multiphase pluton which was mostly passively emplaced along pre-existing NW-SE fractures. Intrusion of dykes in the inlier was also controlled by NW-SE orientated faults and joints. However, in the Zion Hill area mesoscopic structures including aligned crystals, elongate cognate xenoliths and wall zone fabrics may be indicative of forceful emplacement of the pluton. Sulphide mineralization is controlled by the fracture geometry along NNW-SSE trending faults and shear zones, and along intrusive contacts of the main granitoid pluton. The latter is particularly well developed within an approximately 1.6km wide, NNE-SSW trending zone extending for a distance of

some 6 km from Sue River in the north to Zion Hill-Harkers Hill in the south. The intrusive contact in this region dips approximately 6oW and has produced a relatively wide metamorphic aureole marked by sulphide mineralization.

Co: 5th Annual General Meeting; Georgetown, 1994. Ab: The paper singles out for specific focus, three of the

most devastating types of natural disasters, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods. These have been the chief architects of the ever-changing landscape and they have wreaked havoc on human life and the built environment, as we have known it in the Caribbean Basin region. By drawing on the experiences and the lessons learnt from several well documented examples, an attempt is made to show how man has tried to use science to construct edifices better able to withstand the destructive forces of nature by employing a number of strategies beginning with his attempting to define acceptable levels of risk. The paper treats with the role of design codes of practice, the concept of factors of safety, statistical analysis of historical data and modes of failure as demonstrated by detailed studies of previous disaster sites. It examines the role of both experimental and theoretical research and model building and the advanced tools of analysis and design introduced by the advent of the computer. This is one approach taken by man, the civil engineer, in dealing with disasters. The paper then discusses a second approach, that of disaster management, utilising risk analysis, planning techniques and all the modern approaches of management science. It is argued that such an approach offers planning as one of the principal lines of defense against disasters. The paper concludes with a discussion of how well the engineer/designer/planner has performed in adopting these approaches. It uses several well publicised examples of disaster occurrences of the last decade and makes recommendations on how science can deal more effectively in reducing the impact of those forces of nature in future.

In 1989 during the monitoring period two major hurricanes passed close to Dominica. Significant erosion followed by accretion was reported after the hurricanes; however, two years later, the beaches had not recovered their pre-hurricane levels. Very high average erosion rates were calculated (close to 1 m per year) and were related to beach sand mining. This programme was carried out within a regional UNESCO/COMAR/COSALC-1 project "Beach and Coastal Stability in the Lesser Antilles".

Atmospheric surface pressure and surface winds are derived from an analytical hurricane model that requires only hurricane positions, central pressures, and radii of winds. The storm-surge model was tested in hindcast mode on three hurricanes which gave significant surges over Guadeloupe and Martinique during the last 15 years. This model could be used for other small islands in the Caribbean.

Ab: Small islands have intimate contact with oceanic phenomena, and in many cases their geography is a totally marine environment. Accordingly, catastrophic events such as tsunamis can affect their entire land area, and rising global sea level is feared to flood whole nations. In a survey of sea level at numerous small islands, it is shown that in many cases sea level is falling and has been for centuries and that any effect of global change is very site specific. Tides, in general, have a smaller range at islands than at continental sites, but even though tidal observations are essential for determining vertical datums and for predictions, many small island developing states do not operate tide guages. Tsunami prediction, for example, requires improved bottom topography information at most sites, but again the observational network for issuing warnings and improving such forecasts is often times absent. A commitment by small island developing states to initiate observations and to participate in regional research and monitoring programs is considered essential for effective decision-making to assist sustained economic development.


ID: 1601 Au: Hendry, Malcolm D. Ti: The geological legacy of small islands at the

Caribbean-Atlantic boundary. So: In: Maul, George A. ed. Small islands: marine science


Ab: Contrasting geological structures form the gateway between the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic-Ocean. To the north, islands of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos are perched on extensive carbonate platforms whose surfaces have remained above the base of the euphotic zone through the Cenozoic. Southward, the generally volcanic Lesser Antilles has evolved in an island arc at the convergence zone of the Caribbean and American tectonic plates. A volcanically quiescent but seismically active branch of the arc diverges northeast of Martinique. Volcanism commenced in the Eocene, with islands building through the water column during the Cenozoic. The young non-volcanic island of Barbados, located above the accretionary fore-arc prism, first emerged above sea level about 900,000 years ago. Geological processes of millennia have controlled, and continue to influence, nearly all aspects of island economic life. While endowing the region with stunning beauty and environmental advantages, these processes have resulted in an uneven distribution of materials for construction; have left no significant metalliferous deposits; spawned no fossil fuels except in Barbados; and provided limitations to water supply in growing island populations. Widespread, severe risks associated with volcanic eruption, earthquakes, landslides, and longer term sea-level changes are also a consequence of these processes.

Ab: We present a revised earthquake catalogue for the eastern Caribbean region 8N to 22.5N, 58W to 70W covering the period 1930 to 1993. Sizes of all events for which sufficient information exists have been expressed in terms of seismic moment either measuring directly or derived from earthquake magnitude by theoretical and empirical formulae. From 1530 to 1900 the sources of information consists entirely of written accounts of felt earthquakes. The completeness of this part of the catalogue varies throughout the region but is probably complete down to magnitude (Mw) 6.5 to 7 since 1800 and perhaps as far back as 1600 in some parts of the region. From 1900 onwards an increasing number of instrumentally-determined epicenters and magnitudes are available but reports of felt earthquakes continue to exceed instrumental observation until at least 1950. During this period the lower magnitude of completeness is in the range of 5.5 to 6. After 1950 the establishment of more modern seismograph station within the region gradually improved the location threshold but the major improvement did not occur until 1964 when the almost simultaneous completion of WWSSN and the establishment of the ISC further reduced the threshold to about 4.0. Within limited regions such as the Central Lesser Antilles and the Trinidad-Tobago region where local seismograph systems are particularly efficient the local threshold is now down to micro earthquake level.

Coda Q, Qc, determinations were made for each of the six seismograph stations within the area, while spectral Q values from P-phases, Q alpha, were estimated from station TRN. The S-S single scattering model was assumed for coda generations, and the w-2 (omega) source model was assumed for the spectural Q determinations. The Qc values show a strong frequency dependence in frequency range values 1.5 to 12 Hz. The value of Q at 1 Hz, Qo, was found to lie within the range 107-132, while the rate of frequency dependence, n, extends from 0.80-1.06 for shallow events. For intermediate depth events, Qo varies from 101-173 and n from 0.80-1.02. Q alpha values obtained show a spatial variation within the region, with the highest attenuation being obtained on land Trinidad.

Ab: Among the recent destructive earthquakes associated with the Caribbean Plate, the MS7.6 1976 Guatemala earthquake stands out: ground breakage was mapped along the Motagua fault for nearly 230 Km, with mean left lateral displacements of approximately one metre and local displacement of as much as three times more. The evaluation of previous destructive events in the same area, base on the form and extension of isoseismal maps, leads to comparable Richter magnitude associated with the Polochic-Chixoy fault. This paper explores possible evidence for such a low propagating deformational process along the compound plate boundary. It summarizes the result of a time -space analysis of the destructive and/or large instrumentally recorded events during the 1538-1976 period, with magnitudes at least equal to 7.0 associated with the above mentioned plate border, which is nearly 3500 km long. The total number of events is 113, of which a third reached Mercalli intensities of at least grade vii; a third of these were concomitant with tsunamis. The sequence of occurrence of the 113 earthquakes shows west-east migration patterns. Therefore large events with epicenters towards the eastern end and northern boundary seem to belong to cycles of activity that begin at the northern end of the plate and which take about three and a half centuries to reach the other end. With the available data several cycles of migration can be identified in historical times, recurring 7 to 8 decades and with propagation velocities of 8.5deg/century. The observation described above leads to the identification of relatively small areas some 350-400 km long, where the probability of large earth quakes occurring within the next 10-15 years is much higher than for neighbouring areas.

Ab: The Dominican Republic occupies two-third of the island of Hispaniola which is located in the Caribbean-North American plate boundary zone. In the past 500 years, the island has been shaken by large earthquakes, the most recent occurring in 1946 and causing widespread destruction. Since the establishment of a telemetred seismic network in

1979, a great amount of microseismic activity has been detected in the north coast area. The Dominican Republic, with an area of 48,000 km2 and a population of seven million people, is one of the countries with the highest seismic risk in the Caribbean.

Ab: More than seventy-five percent of seismic events recorded by the by the University of Florida Seismic network (UFL) originate in the circum-Caribbean tectonic region. The proximity of the Florida Plateau to the tectonic features in the circum-Caribbean region demands that earthquake events from the region be incorporated in assessment of seismic hazard for Florida. Data from the recently completed 6-station network, as well as extensive review from record archives from station GAI, have yielded preliminary models of seismic attenuation for the Florida Plateau. Ground motion measurements from more that twenty events originating from the aribbean, Central and South America yield an attenuation coefficient approaching 0.22deg-1.

Ab: Body form inversion studies have been conducted for 13 earthquakes of magnitude 6.5 that has occurred between 1926 and 1960 in the southeastern Caribbean, an area extending from Barbuda, Lesser Antilles, to Cumana, Venezuela. A goal of this research is to provide a better understanding of the long-term spatial and temporal patterns of seismicity and deformation within the region. The results suggests that six shallow (focal depth of 1 to 30 km) earthquake studied reflect intraplate deformation. Shallow events in eastern Venezuela show predominantly right-lateral strike-slip motion, while an event west of Trinidad shows normal faulting. An event in the Barbados trough exhibits right lateral strike-slip faulting. Moderate depth events (40-70 km) show normal faulting at 44km depth. Intermediate depth events (70 km) show left-lateral strike-slip motion beneath the Paria peninsula. A mixture of normal and strike-slip faulting, generally along trends oblique to the arc, is found within the Lesser Antilles.

Co: Natural hazards: volcanoes, earthquakes, windstorms, floods; St.Anns, 11-15, Oct.1993.

Ab: On January 13, 1993, an earthquake of duration magnitude 5.4 and maximum Modified Mercalli Intensity VII occurred in eastern Jamaica. The hypocentre was 15 km underneath the rural community of Woodford, the southern Wagwater Belt. The latter is fault-bounded, narrow, uplifted, northwest tending trough, separating the Liguanea plains to the south, from the Blue Mountains to the northeast. The seismic activity of the Wagwater Belt was known from numerous small earthquakes recorded by the Jamaica Network of Seismograph Stations over the past thirty years. However, January 13 earthquake was the first earthquake of this size confirmed as having originated in the belt. Hence, it was also seen as the first indication that the Wagwater Belt may be a source zone for larger Jamaican earthquakes. First motion data indicate reverse faulting with a left-lateral strike-slip component. This is consistent with the view of Mann et al. (1985) that the Wagwater Belt is a push-up restraining bend. Further more the earthquake appears to have originated on a buried fault, which is not featured on current geological maps of the island. However a fault having the same trend was mapped by Mately (1951) and more recently, it appears on maps by

190

Mann and Burke (1990). With the January 1993 event new knowledge about the earthquake potential of land based Jamaican faults has been gained. This has serious implications for earthquake risks in eastern Jamaica, particularly since Jamaica's capital city, Kingston, the island's seat of government and commerce, and home of 800,000, is seated on the Liguanea Plain. Further hazard assessment were made with the belief that faults such as the Orient Fracture Zone, the Northern Caribbean Plate Boundary which lies some 100km off Jamaica's north coasts, posed the major threat to Kingston, due to the amplification of far source seismic waves in the alluvial sediments. It now seems plausible that the historic incidence of twenty damaging earthquakes per century reported by Shepherd (1971) could be the result of seismic activity on Jamaica itself.

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.

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.

topographic and bathymetric investigation of the Qualibou Depression, St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles.


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.

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

193

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.

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.

Ab: A significant correlation has been established between the occurrence of El Nino events and flood conditions in the month of May in Jamaica. An investigation is being carried out to see if there is a physical relationship between the two events. The primary tool for the investigation is an atmospheric general circulation model provided by the Center for Ocean, Land Atmospheric studies and run on the convex mini-super computer. By simulating the general circulation of the atmosphere and following

the climatic events in time, it should be possible to determine if a causal relationship exists and, if so, a set of parameters, which can be used as statistical predictors, will be sought. This paper will give results of preliminary runs.

Ab: Ancient rock shores (palaeorupicosts) are poorly known from the rock record, even though up to 80 percent of modern coastlines are estimated to be rocky. Only a few examples of palaeorupicosts have been reported from the Antillean region, despite the relative importance of coastlines and coastal environments for small islands. However, ancient rocky shores are probably well represented in the region, but have yet to receive adequate documentation. The present study is a description and interpretation of selected localities of ancient rocky, karstic shores of late Quaternary age exposed along the north coast of Jamaica, with the intention of documenting diverse geomorphic features in areas that are currently being developed and are thus under threat of destruction. The palaeorupicosts we describe occur: (a) at the contact between the Hopegate and Falmouth formations; and (b) in the Hopegate and Falmouth formations, that is, formed after deposition of the latter. The Hopegate formation is late Pliocene in age (circa 2 Ma) and is unconformably overlain by the last interglacial (Sangamonian) Falmouth Formation (circa 13,000 yr b.p.). Both formations are raised reef deposits, but are easily differentiated on the basis of their contrasting modes of lithification.

Ab: Since the late 1960's, Portmore has grown from a collection of small agricultural and fishing based villages to a dense urban settlement. This rapid growth has also meant rapid environmental changes. The relationship between man and the environment has necessarily changed, with each affecting the other. The increasing human population means increased generation of sewerage, solid waste, pollutants and water demand. Other problems focus on coastal erosion and the placing of more persons at risk from natural hazards. The problems of treatment and disposal of sewerage are quite obvious in the Portmore area, as are the inadequacies of solid waste disposal. Pollution of land, air and water occurs from unsightly garbage dumps, dust, exhaust fumes, agricultural pesticides and untreated sewerage. Water is supplied from both surface and groundwater; the latter is particularly sensitive to periods of drought. Quarrying activity in the area has provided a source of construction material since the 18th century. Visual intrusions caused by the scars on the slope of the Port Henderson Hill are visible from all points north of the hill. Technological advances have enabled man to increasingly change his environment, and to greatly influence, both positively and negatively, the natural processes that create hazards of floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. The natural process of coastal erosion also maintains a close relationship with man's activities and has caused problems in the Port Henderson area. With continuing development of the area, the inefficiencies of the activated sludge sewerage treatment plants have been realised and an alternate method of aerobic treatment ponds is being used. With passing time the efficiency of this method will be tested. Responsibility for the collection and disposal of garbage needs to be given to a single authority instead of the present situation where communities make their own arrangements or have none at all.

Co: 2nd Conference of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, U.W.I. (Mona); Kingston, 7-9, Mar. 1995.Ab: The silica sands located on the plains of Black River are unique in that it is the only area in Jamaica where there are commercial quantities of such sand. These sands occur as small isolated exposures ranging in area from 1 hectare to 120 hectares. The sands overlie Pleistocene reefal limestones and underlie peat

deposits dated at 650070 B.P. (Bertrand, 1983) Surface mining of the sands at Hodges began on a small scale in 1962, and continued until 1990 when operations were shifted to the nearby Luana deposit. The principal use of the sand is in the glass bottle industry where it is sold to West Indies Glass Company, a Kingston-based operation. The mining company anticipates that once exploitation of sand on the west side of Black River is completed, the washing plant and its other operations will have to be located to the east in the more densely populated areas of Frenchman and Punches. However, relocation may prove to be too expensive an exercise for the mining company leaving it with two options, either to terminate its operations, and thus import sand into Jamaica or explore for possible subsurface deposits in less populated areas west of the Black River nearer the plant site. Our study was undertaken to determine the origin and source of the silica sands by examining the petrography and mineralogy of the sands and the surface texture of the quartz grains that predominate in the sands. The methods applied were optical and scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry.

Ab: The paper intends to highlight the problems in a small but valuable area of Kingston Harbour, the Port Royal mangroves. The focus is on the distribution and levels of floatable solid waste in the mangroves with an attempt to determine possible sources of the solid waste. The primary objective of this study was therefore to determine the quantities and distribution of domestic solid waste in the Port Royal mangroves. 10 sites were sampled on four occasions between November 1993 and January 1994 to give an indication of the spatial and temporal variation in the quantities and types of solid waste deposited in the mangroves. The results indicate that there was a very significant spatial variation in the distribution of solid waste in the mangroves, however, this was not influenced by the distance away from the point sources which were various gullies and rivers. The predominant material seen as waste was made of plastic and the category of non-mangrove wood was second with respect to abundance. Generally, the

198

solid waste seen in all categories was predominantly made up of small or medium sized materials.

Co: 2nd Conference of Faculty of Natural Sciences; Kingston, 7-9, Mar. 1995.

Ab: The impact of polluted waters issuing from Kingston Harbour and neighbouring sources was studied by the Caribbean Coastal Management Study (Goodbody, 1989). Elevated levels of nitrogen and phosphorus species were detected in the water column to the south and west of the Harbour entrance, whence they were carried by the estuarine outflow and the westward flowing Caribbean current. These inorganic nutrients apparently resulted in blooms of plankton and of benthic algae along the Hellshire coast, where coral reefs were found to be severely degraded. Degradation was less in the Port Royal Cays to the south and east of the Harbour. In the present study, four coral communities were selected along an apparent gradient of pollution: at Harbour Shoal, Drunkenman's Cay, Southeast Cay, and Middle Cay on the Pedro Bank. There was a progressive increase in water transparency, and a

decrease in abundance of free-living algae, between these sites. At each, six small samples were collected from specimens of the reef-building coral Montastraea annularis. They were transported, frozen, to the Dept. of Geology at McMaster University. Stable isotope abundance ratios were determined as follows: for nitrogen in the coral tissues, and for carbon and oxygen in the calcium carbonate skeletons. Corals from the four sites had significantly different levels of 15N in their tissues: enriched inshore, progressively less offshore. Skeletal 13C values were close to zero. Nitrogen isotope ratios in the Jamaican terrestrial and marine environment are not yet known, so one cannot draw firm conclusions from these data. To the extent that corals obtain their nitrogen in particulate form (by particle capture) or in solution (by direct uptake), the inshore/offshore gradient in the abundance of 15N in their tissues may reflect an input of enriched reliance, in the clearer waters offshore, on particulate and dissolved nitrogen, with relatively more input of nitrogen fixed by symbiotic bacteria (Shashar et al., 1994), which would have 15N values closer to atmospheric (zero enrichment).

Ab: The concept of the use of an integrated wastewater treatment system, comprising large stabilisation ponds and constructed wetlands to treat wastewater, is very new in the Caribbean. The problems arising out of insufficient wastewater treatment resulting in serious pollution and other undesired effects is well known. Most traditional treatment systems are very expensive to operate both in financial and human terms. In Jamaica, a combination of stabilization ponds and constructed wetlands has been built to treat wastewater from a new housing scheme just west of Kingston and is the first of its kind in Jamaica. This new housing project, Greater Portmore, has been designed to accommodate 17,000 houses with an estimated population of about 70,000 - 85,000 persons. The stabilization is separated from the houses by a buffer zone of 122m. They were built to accommodate ultimately about 16 million liters of wastewater per day and have a retention time of l26 days. The stabilisation ponds have been functioning

199

for one and half years and the wetlands are just being constructed. The present paper reports on the results obtained from the monitoring of two series of ponds [each series containing two facultative ponds and two maturation ponds] over a period of one year. The ponds were monitored fortnightly and samples were collected at five points, viz. the influent coming into pond 1 from the pumping station and through the grit chamber, effluent from pond 1 to 1, 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and the final effluent. Parameters monitored were pH, BOD5, ammonia, nitrates, phosphates and suspended solids. All the methods employed were adopted from Adams [1991]. Results have shown that there is a reduction in solid content, nutrient levels and BOD5. For the year 1993, there was 41 percent reduction in BOD5 through the pond system. The effluent shows that phosphates, nitrates and ammonia were reduced to lmg/L each. These results show the usefulness of large pond systems for wastewater treatment and pollution control under the Jamaican environmental conditions.

Ab: Endosulfan is used extensively for the control of the coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari in coffee plantations in the Blue Mountain watersheds. The residues eventually run-off to rivers and sea coast contaminating sediment, water and aquatic fauna (Mansingh, 1993); Mansingh et al, 1994;Mansingh and Wilson, 1995). The residues in fishes and shrimp are often beyond their tolerance levels (Mansingh and Robinson, 1994). The vertical leaching and run-off of endosulfan residues at slopes of 23o and 38o, from a Blue Mountain plantation with Cuffy Gully Gravelly Sandy Loam soil, was studied in weeded and unweeded plots with the aim of utilizing weeds for the management of residues and erosion of residue-adsorbed soil particles.

Firstly, a policy-guiding framework is introduced as a mediating mechanism in an acceptable narrative form in order to brief donor-agencies like the USAID on an acceptable

200

model of institutional mechanisms likely to meet the goals of sustainable development and environmental conservation in small islands. The narrated model advocate 'stake-holder, self management 'and 'co-management' principles as its basis. To substantiate and learn from particular local grassroot initiatives, the genesis and institutional maturing of three interrelated recent co-management projects are examined, where local, national and international conditions appears to be making progress towards the successful implementation of environmental programmes and conservation efforts in the coastal zones of St. Lucia. The successful ingredients so identified are expected to serve as primary inputs to the larger project's policy-guiding framework and resultant brief. At the same time, caution needs to be expressed due to the lack of awareness of the gravity of environmental issues at political and local levels.

San Francisco, Mar./Apr.1994. Ab: In Antigua, environmental degradation caused by

colonial plantation agriculture is currently exacerbated by short-sighted development goals and governmental mismanagement. The result is a highly eroded natural resource base and increasing economic vulnerability. Just as a colonial legacy of environmental hastened the collapse of agricultural sector, current degradation of Antigua's coastal zones threatens tourism. Policies attempting to address this economic vulnerability have largely ignored environmental conservation. Instead, they focus on strengthening the economy by promoting offshore banking and light manufacturing. This type of economic diversification is necessary, but not sufficient. Recent growth in banking and manufacturing has stagnated, and these sectors should not be counted on to offset potential declines in tourism revenues caused by coastal degradation. In the absence of strong effort to protect and improve the coastal and marine environment, Antigua in on an unsustainable development path.

non-engineered structures. These suffered minor cracks in response to the January 13, 1993 earthquake. Generally, structures of two or more storeys or with long spans or complex structural arrangements usually benefit from engineering design services. Percentage-wise few of these structures were damaged in the earthquake. The fact that much of the observed cracking in buildings occurred in non-structural masonry walls, led to recommendations that partition in multistorey buildings should be lightweight walls instead, and in lower buildings, all masonry walls could be load-bearing. Structural engineers are guided by two building codes: The National Building Code, Jamaica (1983), which recommends use of the latest version of the Structural Engineers Association of California Building Code (SEAOC) and, the Caribbean Uniform Building Code (1985), which in the absence of reliable information of damaging Jamaican earthquakes recommends use of the zone factor, Z= 0.75 (equivalent to an acceleration of 0.3g on rock). Based on the information that the focus of the earthquake was on land and close to populated areas, a recommendation was made that the zone factor be reviewed, possibly to 0.4g.

The predominant material seen as waste was made of plastic, the category of non-mangrove wood was second with respect to abundance. Generally, the solid waste seen in all categories was predominantly made up of small or medium-sized materials (0.15 m - 1 m). The data indicate that the total quantities of solid waste transported into the mangroves are related to the total rainfall in the Kingston metropolitan area.

The projects are efficient, but time consuming, tools for teaching environmental management. Student differences in cognisance are great, and most had problems coupling different models and data, theory and problem solving. Improved multimedia interfaces could be a temporary solution.

So: Stop Disasters; 28(2):11, 1996. Ab: Caribbean countries, small islands and continental

states, are subject to the regular occurrence of natural disasters: hurricanes, earthquakes, and certain countries volcanic eruptions. Rapid economic and social development in most of the Caribbean countries has been accompanied by a growing stock of housing and infrastructure services, as well as by a host of installation, and facilities necessary to support economic activities mainly in tourism. This has contributed to the increase exposure of Caribbean settlements to the effects of natural hazards. Housing, infrastructure, and other installations are often not located, designed or constructed taking into account principles from the mitigation of such hazards.

the Caribbean and are triggered by heavy rains and earthquakes, and often occur in association with human disturbances (e.g. roads). Spatially heterogeneous removal of both substrate and vegetation is responsible for a variety of patterns of ecosystem development and plant succession trajectories within Caribbean landslides. Soil nutrient pools in exposed mineral soils reach levels comparable to mature forest soils within 55 yr but soil organic matter recovers more slowly. Plant colonization of landslides depends on the availability of propagules and suitable sites for germination, soil stability, and the presence of residual or newly deposited soil organic matter and associated nutrients. Once initial colonization occurs, the rate and trajectory of plant succession on landslides is strongly affected by plant/plant interactions. We present two conceptual models of landslide

succession that summarize the major processes and pathways of ecosystem development and plant succession on landslides. Additional work is needed to characterize interactions between spatially heterogeneous zones, controls over soil development, impacts of key plant species, and the role of animals on Caribbean landslides.

This conclusion is supported by the presence of:(a) the thermal springs of Plymouth which are fed by deep Na-Cl waters (C1 concentration~25000 mg/kg. temperature ca 250oC) mixed with shallow steam-heated waters; (b) the four fumarolic fields of Galway's Soufriere, Gages Upper Soufriere, Gages Lower Soufriere, and Tar River Soufriere, where acid to neutral, steam-heated waters are present together with several fumarolic vents, discharging vapors formed through boiling of hydrothermal aqueous solutions. Involvement of magmatic fluids in the recharge of the hydrothermal aquifers is suggested by: (a) the high 3He/4He ratios of fumarolic fluids i.e., 8.2 R. at Galway's Soufriere and 5.9R.at Gages Lower Soufriere; (b) the &D and &18O values of Na-C1thermal springs and steam condensates, indicating the involvement of arc-type magmatic water in the formation of deep geothermal liquids; and (c) the CH4/CO2 ratios of fumarolic fluids, which are lower than expected for equilibrium with the Fe0-Fe01.5 hydrothermal rock buffer, but being shifted towards the S02-H2S magmatic gas buffer.

incentives and prospects for an effective regional protocol.

So: Marine Policy; 20(2):99-121, Mar. 1996. Ab: This article reports some results of a study to

enhance the effectiveness of a prospective protocol on land-based marine pollution (LBMP) in the Wider Caribbean Region (WCR), which is under negotiation. We argue that the environmental, economic, and institutional diversity of the region as a whole suggests an incremental approach to international resolution of LBMP problems, one that builds upon successful arrangements among States that have appropriate incentives for solving transboundary or common pollution problems. We report on two approaches to the identification of commonalties and complementarities that can serve as the basis for subregional collaborations and exchanges. First, we consider the relative identities of WCR States as polluters and pollutees within subregional groupings already designated by a joint UNEP-IOC program. The analysis yields several illustrative examples of key match-ups among source, stakeholder and facilitator States within and across subregions. Second, we develop a rating system that reflects the size and direction of a State's economic incentive to control LBMP and its economic and institutional capacity to do so. The results are useful for predicting which States are the most likely to engage in sustained and effective action to control LBMP and the general categories of assistance or special inducements that the other States are likely to need in order to participate successfully.

tropical cloud systems forced by large-scale ascent, surface luxes and radiation in a typical sheared tropical environment are presented. A non-hydrostatic, cloud-resolving numerical model containing sophisticated microphysical parametrizations as well as turbulence, surface flux and short/long-wave radiative representations were used. A predominant cloud-system hierarchy was identified; fast westward-moving mesoscale convective systems, producing extensive cirrus anvils and a strong radiative effect; and slow-moving regions of enhanced precipitation, causing a

significant modification of the fast-moving cloud-system behaviour on the time-scale of about one day. The experimental set-up was similar to that used by Sui et al. The demonstrated episodic convective activity and the fundamental role of organised deep convection by and large agree with their analysis. However, despite many similarities, the results for the mean thermodynamic statistical equilibrium are dramatically different: a warm and humid regime, as opposed to the cold and dry regime of Sui et al.

Damage reports came from approximately 100 schools, mainly in Kingston, St. Andrew, Portland, St. Thomas and St. Catherine, parishes of Eastern Jamaica. The Ministry of Education and Culture in collaboration with the Ministry of Construction examined the affected buildings. Damage by way of cracks to non-load bearing walls, separation of walls and columns, opened construction joints and shifted door frames, were identified. In no case was the structural integrity of the building so threatened that schools had to be closed. A very rough estimate of repairs was set at $10 million. The Ministry also found that there was a need to train school personnel in earthquake response. The Office of Disaster Preparedness and

Landslides were widespread in the hilly terrain of St. Andrew and Portland causing damage to roadways and affecting quarry slopes. Ground cracks were observed on the approach of the causeway bridge and also on the ground pavements in the Jacks Hill area. In Barbican and August Town, St Andrew, the ground settled under earthquake loading in areas located on the edge of gully courses. Buildings, particularly non-engineered residential structures showed damage ranging from non-structural to severe structural damage. Within the area of reported damage, concrete reinforced buildings showed better structural performance than buildings made of unreinforced concrete, wattle and daub, or structures made of concrete-nog timber frame construction.

The most significant information to emerge, however, was the evidence that on-land faults in Jamaica can generate a large earthquake. The implications of this are considerable and should form the basis of further discussion among emergency managers, the professional societies and the planning authorities. This paper summarizes the lessons learnt from the earthquake based on papers presented at the review meeting, and makes recommendation for strengthening areas of weakness.

The hypocentres of 32 after shocks were determined and these defined a nearly vertical fault plane with a rapture length of nearly 12km in a SW-NE direction. The depth of the main shock and aftershocks were between 4.2 to 18.4 kilometers, indicating that no surface break took place. A brief report of the performance and the condition of the Jamaica Seismograph Network at the time of the earthquake are also given. The earthquake indicated that land-based faults in Jamaica could produce events with damaging intensities, whereas heretofore, damaging earthquakes were perceived to have offshore origins.

Here we outline the main features of a large, previously unrecognized landslide at Burlington, near the mouth of the Rio Grande. Recognition of this feature suggests that a systematic examination of geomorphic evidence in the river valleys of eastern Jamaica will lead to the identification of additional ancient, slope failures that may have formed landslide dams in prehistoric and historic times. The Burlington

landslide also serve as a possible model for demonstrating that there are locations in Jamaica where a landslide dam could result in the formation of a lake, greater than 10km in extent, such as was reported to have occurred after the 1962 earthquake.

process of wind erosion of beach sands and presents results from both field and wind tunnel experiments. Although sediment transport by splash is of secondary importance on coastal dunes, splash-saltation processes can move sediments in conditions where no motion is predicted by aeolian processes. The effect of rain-drop impact on the movement of soil particles by wind was measured on a sand beach plain using an acoustic sediment sampler. In general, an increase of particle movement by wind at the sensor heights was observed during rainfall. Rainfall also affected the wind erosion process during and after rain by changing the cohesive conditions of the surface. The influence of the surface moisture content on the initiation of wind erosion and on the vertical distribution of transported sand particles was

studied in a wind tunnel. Moisture significantly increased threshold wind velocities for the initiation of sediment transport and modified vertical sediment profiles.

Ab: The Soufriere Hills volcano is the youngest of four major volcanic centres on the island of Montserrat which have been active during approximately the last five million years. It consists of a central nucleus of four andesite lava domes which are separated by deep valleys and truncated by English's Crater, a horse-shoe shaped structure open to the east and partly filled by Castle Peak Dome. After more than three years of intermittent earthquake swarm occurrence and almost 400 years of dormancy, the Soufriere Hills volcano started erupting on 18 July 1995. The initial phase was characterised by phreatic eruptions during which several vents were opened up on and around Castle Peak dome and significant quantities of ash were produced. In late September 1995, a small spine and dome was extruded in English's Crater and this grew to a height of about 20cm and then stopped growing. Activity then returned to a state of mainly episodic steam and ash eruptions of variable amplitudes. The eruptions became larger (in terms of ash volumes) and more frequent during late October and early November 1995. In mid November 1995, an andesite lava dome was extruded into the main vent excavated by the phreatic eruptions. Since early December 1995, activity has been dominated by variable but relatively slow, quiet dome growth on Castle Peak dome within English's Crater. The unstable sides of the growing dome occasionally collapse, resulting in the formation of pyroclastic flows and associated ash clouds. The larger pyroclastic flows propagate at the moment down the open eastern side of the crater while the ash clouds are blown on the wind, mainly towards the west and northwest. Relatively significant pyroclastic flows occurred on 03, 06 and 08, April and 12, May 1996, in the Tar River Valley area to the east of the Soufriere Hills volcano, with the flow front on 12, May 1996 reaching the sea. Eleven months have already passed since the beginning of the eruption and although no person has been hurt or killed and no houses have been seriously damaged or destroyed yet, three major evacuations of about 3000-6000 people from southern to northern Montserrat have already taken place. The latest evacuation which started on 03, April 1996 is still in force at the end of

June 1996. The net result is great hardship amongst the people of Montserrat since many are living in very unfavourable conditions and the economy has been severely damaged.

Ab: The Dvorak technique is the internationally recognized means of estimating tropical cyclone intensity using satellite data. The determination of the Dvorak T number can be highly subjective. The Regional and Mesoscale Meteorology Branch (RAMM) of NESDIS in conjunction with the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), Colorado State University, have developed an objective technique for use on hurricanes with well defined eyes. This objective technique uses the warmest eye temperature and the coldest surrounding ring temperature to determine the final T number. The Synoptic Analysis Branch (SAB) of NESDIS has been experimenting with this objective technique for the last two years. The unusually active 1995 Atlantic hurricane season provided the basis for a preliminary analysis of the objective technique. This initial study based on the 1995 season revealed that (1) the subjective Dvorak estimates were within a half T number of objective estimates approximately 80 percent of the time for systems with well defined eyes; and (2) subjective (objective) intensities were within a half T number of reconnaissance-based estimates 76 percent of the time.

Hill, St. Andrew, Jamaica. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: Landslides are recognised over a large part of the northern slopes of Red Hills and Stony Hill in the parish of St. Andrew. Rockfalls, rock slides, debris flow and deep-seated complex slides are the major

209

types of slope movements mapped. These pre-historic slope movements appear to be associated with the evolution of the east-west trending, Quaternary fault scarp that defines the northern boundary of the Tertiary limestones exposed in the Red Hills and Stony Hill. The insitu limestone outcrops examined in the vicinity of the fault scarp show brecciation, solution features, red clay-filled pipes and fractures and development of terra rossa. The colluvium covered slopes are under a dense forest and bush, and generally inaccessible. In some areas bare rock slopes are seen. Several lines of evidences have been used to identify the landslides. These include anomalous topography, geological structure and the occurrence of exotic boulder deposits of Tertiary limestones overlying the Cretaceous basement rocks comprising granitoids, volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. The landslide deposits consist of limestone debris, boulders and blocks and terra rossa which have often been extensively modified by surficial processes and colonised by bushes and tall trees. The landslide zone mapped is some 7 km long and 1.5 km wide. Active landslides are confined to drainage channels which may have acted as chutes for old slides. We suggest that the possible triggering mechanisms for these landslides may be seismic shaking and/or catastrophic storms. The occurrence of rock slides may indicate seismic shaking as a possible mechanism for the initiation of landslide activity in this area. However, paleoseismicity and the age of sliding need to be established. The evaluation of the landslide hazard is in progress as a part of the Caribbean Disaster Mitigation Project sponsored by OAS and USAID.

Ab: Our experiences in the eastern Caribbean and elsewhere indicate that when employed along with the other conventional methods, bio-engineering may offer simple, robust and cost-effective solutions to the management of roads in steep terrains where landslides frequently disrupt the traffic flow, in addition to mitigating excessive erosion. In this paper we present a preliminary assessment of the potential of bio-engineering in the slope stabilization on the

Guinea Corn-Corner Shop Road, Clarendon. This road is subject to recurrent landslides and flooding following every event of significant rainfall in the watershed. In July 1994, we mapped some 82 landslides along the entire ll km of the road, that is, 7 failures/km. Most of the slides are confined to highly weathered and jointed volcaniclastic sediments and ignimbrites and their residual soils which cover an area of 284.26 ha (62 percent of the total area) with slopes in excess of 20o. The existing vegetation types and landuse practices along the road have been described in terms of their function in arresting mass movement and the protection cover they offer against infiltration. In areas where vegetation cover is inadequate or instability is observed, recommendations are made as to vegetation types and techniques which may be implemented to increase slope stability. An assessment is made of the characteristics of existing vegetation with regard to its ability to coppice, display rapid regrowth, nodulate, its adaptability to variation in sites and to poor site conditions, robustness, ability to propagate and whether it will direct seed. Where these criteria are not met by existing vegetation, other species are recommended which would grow in the observed conditions. This study will directly benefit the Rural Road Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (RRRIP) currently being undertaken by the Government of Jamaica. The Guinea Corn-Corner Shop Road is one of the roads being improved under this programme.

Ab: Between 1915 and 1920 a series of five large earthquakes magnitude 6.7 to 7.5) occurred near Puerto Rico. Although the locations of these earthquakes are poorly known, the epicenters f three of events (1915, 1917 and 1920) fall within the rupture/aftershock zone of the 1943 (magnitude 7.9) North Mona Passage earthquake. Thus these earthquakes could provide important information on precursory stress field changes that led to the 1943 event. The other two earthquakes (1916 and 1918, the largest events of the sequence) occurred in the central Mona Passage due west of Puerto Rico. A preliminary evaluation of body waveforms suggests

210

that several of these earthquakes occurred at sub-crustal (40 km) depths. The waveforms also suggest that reverse-oblique faulting occurred in most events and that several events had complex rupture histories.

This earthquake triggered landslides in eastern Jamaica. Given the limitations of the seismic data used in the computations, the nodal plane with a strike of 310o appears to be the preferred fault plane and is supported by the available structural data.

Ab: Two large, presumably prehistoric landslides in the Rio Grande, are those at Burlington, at the mouth of the Rio Grande, and at Jupiter, near Moore Town. Both these slides are considerably larger than the landslide that blocked the Rio Grande at Millbank in 1937, impounding a lake. The Burlington landslide has been described briefly in a previous publication. The Jupiter landslide is similar in form to, and has developed over the same geological units, as the Millbank slide. Although presumed to be prehistoric, its geomorphology suggests that it is of comparatively recent origin, and the nature of the debris indicates that more than one event is involved. Debris from the most recent event extends across the valley floor,

with appreciable runup on the opposite side of the valley from which the slide originated. Investigation of these landslide features is continuing.

management: abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies. Department of Geography and Geology. Unit for Disaster Studies, 1996. 13.


Ab: Reports of 14 tsunamis or possible tsunamis are known for the Caribbean beginning with an event off the coast of Venezuela in 1530. Seven of these have reported damage associated with them. Although the history of the Caribbean area is the longest in the Western Hemisphere, the tsunami history has not been studied in detail due to the varied colonial past and the number of political divisions and consequently must be considered incomplete. It is subject to tsunamis of tectonic origin but most seem to be associated with structures other than the eastern oceanic trench and subduction zone. Notable is the 1867 tsunami originating in the Anegada trough between St. Thomas and St. Croix, Virgin Islands which caused 14 to 16 fatalities and was observed through the Caribbean. The 1918 tsunami off the northwestern corner of Puerto Rico caused about 40 fatalities and extensive damage. The Caribbean area is also subject to rare but destructive tsunamis from Atlantic sources. The 1755 Tsunami which affected Lisbon, North Africa and England put waves as high as 7 meters at Saba, and 3.7 meters at Antigua and Dominica. Waves reached the second story of buildings in Martinique. The Caribbean may also be subject to tsunamis generated by volcanic activity and landslides but none were documented from the 1902 Pelee eruption or the 1692 Port Royal, Jamaica subsidence. Tsunamis at least as high as those in historic times can be expected to reoccur but with the greatly increased coastal development and increased tourism the disaster potential is much larger. The risk should be thoroughly evaluated by a multi-national historical effort and modeling.

Ab: The Soufriere Hills volcano has one of the most active hydrothermal systems among Lesser Antilles volcanoes. The horseshoe-shaped English's Crater (2 x 1.2 km) is the result of a flank-collapse event that produced debris avalanche deposits observed in the eastern seaside cliffs. Detailed geochemical (whole rock, trace elements, U-Th disequilibrium), mineralogical (x-ray power diffraction-XRD) and microtextural (Scanning Electron Microscope-SEM) studies on different samples representative of the entire 1995-96 period of dome growth should help confirm the nature and extent of interaction at the hydrothermal-magma interface and their influence on eruptive style.

drills and simulations for increasing earthquake preparedness and response.



Ab: On April 20, 1996, over 25 cities in the California San Francisco Bay Area will conduct an earthquake drill. This regional drill will be the first of its kind in the United States. The effort is a product of a regional non-profit organisation called BAYNET (Bay Area Network) which represents cities and communities that have created community-based earthquake preparedness and training organisations. These community-based groups focus their efforts on both preparedness education and disaster response training. The groups seek to educate and train citizens in urban search and rescue, fire suppression, first aid, and other response skills. The managers who administer the community-based programmes, and who are organising the drill activity in their jurisdiction, will be surveyed immediately following the drill. Using a combination of mail and phone surveys, the programme managers will be asked about the structure of their drill, the type of simulation scenario, the level of participation, and questions relating to the interaction of volunteers with the local emergency management organisations. This paper will present the results of the programme manager survey, with a focus on the institutional and organisational design and implementation of the drills in local jurisdictions. The stated intent of sponsoring

a regional "drill day" is to increase the earthquake preparedness awareness in the area and to simulate, and thereby evaluate, the activation of the volunteer community-based organisations. The paper will explore the degree to which these intentions were met. The paper will also discuss the utility and viability for using drills and simulations for these volunteer-oriented organisations. As this "drill day" is to become an annual event, recommendations will be offered regarding how to optimise the use of simulations and drills in community-based organisations on an ongoing basis.

events in the Caribbean with those located in North America.



Ab: Continuing analyses of seismograms for earthquake events recorded by the University of Florida network yield attenuation, coefficients related to the geographic origin of the event. Of 34 events subjected to reanalyses, twenty-one originated in Central and South America. Identifiable Lg phases were selected from records of events from North America, but p wave phases were used for those events from the circum-Caribbean region. An attentuation coefficient of y=0.10 per degree is derived from events which originated in North America. Efforts to independently calculate Q from transmissivity data from the upper Floridan Aquifer yielded Q values of 172 to 688. While these y and Q values are comparable to assigned values for the eastern United States, significantly higher attenuation is recognised from records of events from the circum-Caribbean region.

Ab: Soufriere Hills volcano consists of a series of central andesitic lava domes. The youngest dome, Castle Peak, occupies English's Crater. The computer code FLOW3D is being used to simulate several types of gravity-driven, pyroclastic, surge, and block-and-ash flows that have been observed or may potentially occur at the Soufriere Hills volcano. These computer simulations can be extremely useful in assessing and mitigating the risk associated with several types of volcanic hazards. Because of their predominance at the Soufriere Hills volcano, an understanding of block-and-ash flows produced by the disintegration of lava domes is critical. Furthermore, because English’s Crater is open to the ENE, this region is highly susceptible to various volcanic flow products, including lahars.

Ab: Prior to the reawakening of the Soufriere Hills volcano in 1995, research on the deposits of past eruptions of the volcano had concentrated on a well exposed sequence of block and ash flows exposed on

the sea cliffs and in river valleys on the flanks of the volcano. Radiocarbon dating of these deposits yielded ages ranging from c.24 to 16 ka. A single date of 32054 had been obtained (1959) from a poorly exposed section along Hot River, which drains the breached eastern side of the summit crater. This date had not been duplicated and was thus suspect. A combination of volcanic mudflows and rainfall following the passage of 2 hurricanes and a tropical storm between early August and late October 1995 caused severe erosion in Hot River and in several other ghauts, revealing several good sections through carbon-bearing deposits from the volcano. In support of the monitoring exercise at Soufriere Hills volcano, a series of sampling visits was made and key sections investigated in the Hot River valley in order to clarify the stratigraphy and age of the most recent deposits. Radiocarbon ages obtained from one or more relatively thin pyroclastic flow deposits thought to include the same deposit as that sampled in 1959 were 20040, 24050, 27050, 29050, 32045, 35050, 42050, 43045, and 77045;an AMS date on a sample at a similar stratigraphic level about 50 m further downstream gave an age of 42025 yrs BP. Later investigations revealed a complex sequence of pyroclastic flow and lahar deposits of assumed recent age, the best section (although not necessarily the most complete) being close to the mouth of Hot River. Radiocarbon ages from a number of these units will be presented, along with petrological and geochemical data. In addition to the Hot River section, investigations of other areas revealed additional widespread deposits along the eastern coast in which Amerindian artifacts have been found along with carbon of both anthropogenic and probable volcanogenic origin. A date from the carbon collected in basal part of this deposit gave an age of 395070. Further carbon-bearing deposits within Fort Ghaut to the west of the volcano will also be described; these are not thought to be volcanogenic deposits. Investigation of the most recent deposits from the Soufriere Hills has enabled the monitoring team to better understand the style of dome-building events at this volcano.

Their implications for policy planning, development and implementation are discussed.

Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 1769 Au: Chin, Myron W. Ti: Effective mitigation strategies for hurricanes and

earthquakes in the Caribbean. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: The Caribbean is affected by geological, climatic and environmental hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tropical cyclones, floods, drought, environmental pollution and deforestation. However, historically, the damage caused by earthquakes has not been as great as that caused by hurricanes and floods. In this paper therefore,

effective mitigation strategies for reducing losses from hurricanes and earthquakes in the Caribbean are discussed with particular reference to the Caribbean Uniform Building Code (CUBiC) provisions for wind and earthquake loads. A brief review of these provisions is presented and it is emphasised that there is an urgent need to enforce compliance with the requirements of CUBiC and to encourage higher standards of construction quality throughout the Caribbean. Other factors affecting effective mitigation strategies are outlined and the economics and practicalities of mitigation are discussed against the background of the attitudes of the Caribbean peoples at risk and the nature of Caribbean political administrations. The paper concludes that successful and effective mitigation strategies must involve the close collaboration between the local community and the government agencies and must contain a mixture of immediately visible improvements and of less visible but long term sustainable benefits. In this regard the paper recommends the urgent completion of Part 5 of CUBiC which deals with the construction of Small Buildings.

Antigua. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: This paper focuses on the electricity and health sectors after Hurricane Luis struck Antigua and Barbuda in the north-east Caribbean on 4 and 5, September 1995. The nature and extent of the damage are described and illustrated. The causes of failures and successes are analyzed. It is shown how the failures could have been reduced to a manageable amount and, in many cases, eliminated completely with little incremental effort and cost. The impact of building codes and standards is assessed. Damage to buildings was mainly due to weak connections of light-weight roofing materials, impact damage to glazed openings from flying objects, inadequate fixings of windows and external doors and water damage from the torrential rains. There were also several examples of catastrophic collapse of entire buildings due to unsound structural concepts. The lack of maintenance of building components contributed significantly to the damage. In the cases of structures not associated with buildings (e.g. telecommunication towers and transmission systems) inadequate specification of performance criteria at the

214

procurement and design stages was an important factor in the failures. The actual wind speeds were not greater than should have been in a 1-in-50-year event. The introduction of mandatory building standards and codes would have a significant, positive impact in reducing losses in future hurricanes. Antigua is not only in the regular path of severe hurricanes. It is also located in the most hazardous area of seismic activity in the Caribbean Archipelago. The Interrelationship of wind-resistant and earthquake-resistant design is analysed.

William B. Ti: Electronically tailoring the frequency response of

low cost exploration geophones for volcano monitoring applications.



Ab: Electronically extending the bandwidth of a seismic sensor to improve its range of usefulness for a particular application is not a new idea. The primary disadvantages of instruments designed with this technique are instability problems and reduced dynamic range. If designed carefully, however, the above problems can be minimised and a broader instrument response will be obtained at relatively low cost. This is very attractive in volcano monitoring where it is often required to deploy several instruments which may be lost during an eruption. In this paper, we describe the design of a highly stable tri-axial seismometer for volcano monitoring applications. The desired response was obtained by tailoring the response of inexpensive HS-1 rotary geophones that are designed with a natural frequency of 4.5 Hz and a transductance of 4.1 V/m/s. In our design, a low noise preamplifer interface is used to optimise the self noise performance of the system. The preamplifier is followed by a two stage frequency equalizer to compensate for the low frequency roll-off of the geophone down to a frequency of 0.45 Hz. A fourth order Butterworth filter which follows is used to set the upper cut-off frequency of the system to 20 Hz. Using a broadband accelerometer, we estimated the seismic noise spectra of various seismic station sites around the Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat. We then verified that the self noise spectra of the instrument is below that of the seismic noise spectra for most of the usable bandwidth. We, therefore, conclude that the useful dynamic range that is offered by this instrument in volcano

monitoring applications is basically the same as that of its more expensive off-the-shelf counterpart of similar bandwidth.

Ab: In the island of Hispaniola, slope instability phenomena are frequent, particularly intensive soil erosion and landslides. In Haiti, soil erosion is extreme and has contributed to increase the generalised food supply and environment degradation problems currently affecting this country. Landslides are also common, such as those around the Peligre reservoir and the Massif de la Selle. In the Dominican Republic, intensive erosion phenomena are not less common, such as the case of the locality of Banica, where it has reached an ultimate scale. Large landslides are widespread throughout Septentrional and Central ranges, with the well known case of the town of Carlos Diaz in the former and the vast

215

movements generated in the latter during the passages of David and Frederic Tropical Storms in 1979. Climatic and geomorphic conditions are evidently the origin of these phenomena, which are deteriorated by the frequent transit of hurricanes and seismic activity. However, irrational human activity is steadily aggravating the situation.

conventional sources. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: It is extremely difficult to represent a hurricane even in its mature stage by the operational assimilation systems. This is due to the lack of efficient observational network over the land in tropical regions but also due to the development of hurricanes over the oceans where they can be missed completely by the conventional observation network. Due to this reason the hurricane vortex cannot be properly represented and hence results in the poor prediction of track and intensity of the hurricanes. In this paper, a method is described to generate a complete data set for a hurricane from a few essential non-conventional sources in Caribbean weather conditions. A complete multi-level data set of zonal and meridianal wind, temperature, relative humidity and surface pressure is generated. Since no two hurricanes are similar, a number of analytical vortices are included in this method. The vortex which gives the least coefficient of spatial variation with respect to the observed hurricane is selected for hurricane reconstruction. This complete reconstruction of a hurricane can be made more realistic with the tuning of the analytical profiles with the observed data. Such a data can be used for numerical weather prediction in forecast models. The method is tested using an observed hurricane.

Ab: The popularity of World Wide Web (WWW) as a medium of information exchange can be used for disaster management. In this paper, a method is described to create a database of disasters which can be used for emergency management in the Caribbean. This consists of a central server which hosts the database with the associated software and a number of nodes (Sub-servers) with special authorization to update the database. A Common Gateway Interface (CGI) script is used to create, update and retrieve the database. Images and videos of the disasters can also be hosted at the server at any of the nodes. The database can be mirrored at the central server as well as at the nodes. The basic skeleton of such a network is designed and is available at URL:http/wwwphysics.uwimona.ed.jm:1104/staff/visit/abraham/climate/author.html. This website will be extremely useful for scientists, engineers, policy makers and media. Although anybody can retrieve the data through WWW, only authorized individuals at the server and nodes are allowed to create and update the data. This is to protect the database from hackers and other unlawful individuals. The flexibility of the system ensures the fastest, quickest and cheapest way of information exchange across the islands of the Caribbean, which is essential for disaster emergency management.

The petrographic character of the extruded lava is also in accordance with evolution generally observed towards hornblende andesites. From the chemical viewpoint, indices of crystallization appear which may enable the elucidation of the physico-chemical characteristics of the magma chamber.

So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard management: abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies. Department of Geography and Geology. Unit for Disaster Studies, 1996. 13.


Ab: Investigations of mudrocks from the Ortoire watershed from south Trinidad show that pyritic, calcareous, glauconitic and gypsiferous mudrocks and expansive clays occupy more than 79 percent of the drainage basin. The watershed supports domestic and commercial agriculture, hydrocarbon exploratory activities, is intensively populated and provides important transportation routes to other parts of the island. However, many of these land uses are disrupted by ground failures due to frequent landslides; foundation heave; soil piping, macropore development; soil cracking and foundation settlement in high shrinkage/expansive clays. These incur high annual damage/repair costs to local residents and Government Departments. Investigations show that weathered clays are mainly montmorillonite (20-80 percent), with secondary kaolinite (8-35 percent and illite (20-35 percent) and are overconsolidated (due to highly compressive tectonic stresses and uplift and Quaternary sea level fluctuations). They are highly plastic, with liquid limits between 74-109 percent; plasticity index between 46-77 percent; clay content between 52-92 percent; shrinkage limit between 12-19 percent; skemptons clay activity index between 0.70-1.43; in-situ density between 1620-1900 kg/m3; natural moisture between 31-43 percent; optimum moisture (ASTM Standard proctor test) between 22-32 percent; one dimensional swell potential between 1.25.3.25kg/cm2; caution exchange between 20-70; milliequivalents/100g dry soil and of Unified engineering soil classification, CH. In addition, degradation of pyritic mudrocks and the transfer of their acidic leachates to adjacent calcareous marls and mudstones lead to gypsum precipitation, while in fluvial areas, glanconitic mudstones and sandstones, jarosite precipitation is another possible hazard. Both these sulphates can increase the swell potential of weathered clays by more than 100 percent, decrease soil strength and further increase ground failures and hazards. Field studies, supported by laboratory data show that their precipitations are stratigraphically and tectonically controlled. Primary gypsum is also found in the mudrocks of lagoonal facies. Weathering of these facilitate loss of soil volume, potential collapse and foundation settlement. The geotechnical properties of all expansive clays are geologically

controlled, while areas with high ground failure incidence are those primarily affected by intense tectonic deformation, strain partitioning and strain localization. In addition, gypsum and jarosite precipitation, weathering of primary gypsum and the geological control on expansive clay development has largely been unrecognised from previous studies on expansive clays from Trinidad.

Central Caribbean margin. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: We have studied the faulting processes of eight earthquakes along the north-central Caribbean plate margin using body waveform modeling techniques. Our study area extends from southwestern Cuba to the Swan Island fracture zone (75o to 85o W). Results of this study show that the western portion of the region (80o to 84oW) has only experienced large (magnitude 6.0) strike-slip earthquakes with focal depth of 12 km or less. Since 1917, seismic slip due to large earthquakes in this region is 50 to 80 percent of plate motion rates. The oceanic nature of the plates on either side of this portion of the plate boundary likely accounts for this simple, uniform behaviour. Within the eastern portion of the study are (75o to 80o W), where more continent-like material is found on either side of the plate boundary, seismic deformation occurs over a -250 km wide zone. Three of four large earthquakes we studied occurred at focal depths 12km, however, an event offshore of southern Cuba in 1932 could be as deep as 26km. Large earthquakes off southern Cuba most likely involved slip along northward dipping, high angle-reverse faults. Onshore and offshore of Jamaica, large earthquakes showed a combination of strike-slip and reverse motion, most likely along east-west and northwest-southeast striking fault planes. Seismic slip rates are much lower (2 to 20percent) than plate motion rates in this region, however, one earthquake of magnitude 7.8 (comparable to the 1946 Hispaniola earthquake) would make the seismic slip rates comparable to plate motion rates.

Co: 2nd Caribbean Conference on Natural Hazards and Disasters; Kingston, 9-12, October, 1996.

Ab: In 1986 Mike Isaacs and I undertook an assessment of the future hazards posed by volcanic activity at Soufriere Hills volcano. This was done under the Seismic Research Unit's basic remit to supply hazard assessment and partly funded by the Pan Caribbean Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Project. Field work comprised mapping the most recent deposits and collecting and submitting charcoal for radiocarbon dating. In the laboratory at Reading, computer simulations of the deposition of past eruptions were made. A 35 page report to the Montserrat government and an academic paper resulted. The former was dusted off in July of 1995 and helped guide some of the early thinking on how to respond to the crisis. Reading the report now it is clear that we did not anticipate the actual course of events in 1995-6. Specifically, we made no attempt to assess the addition of new dome lava to Castle Peak dome. However, what the report was successful at doing was to alert the authorities to the potential of major explosive eruption in southern Montserrat and giving guidelines on which to base evacuation strategy. The emphasis on this "worst-case scenario" was therefore justified and indeed is still valid for future use.

Ab: The current eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat, is the most serious volcanic crisis in the Caribbean since the 1979 eruption of the Soufriere Volcano in St. Vincent. There have been four volcano-seismic crises at this volcanic centre in the past 100 years but no eruptions since about 350 years BP. Unlike the regional scientists who have been

closely monitoring the most recent unrest since it began back in 1992, the Montserrat public and the civil authorities were less prepared for the eruption. Not only was there not a detailed emergency plan in existence but most people were unaware that there was a potentially active volcano on the island. These two factors strongly influenced the courses of action that were taken at various stages during the first six months of the crisis by some of the key social actors. This paper explores the protocols and procedures that were employed in communication of scientific and other advice to the civil authorities and information to the public during the crisis. It also explores the public response to some of the emergency preparedness measures implemented and the avenues that were used to express public sensation, desire and perception.

Ab: The limited availability of landslide hazard data and the non-existence of relevant digital databases for most Caribbean islands limit the methodology by which the time frame in which landslide hazard in these islands can be evaluated. In spite of these limitations, landslide hazard products must be prepared with sufficient accuracy and timeliness to enable their utilization by potential users. The paper describes a landslide hazard evaluation package which was prepared under these conditions for eleven priority watersheds in St. Lucia, immediately following widespread landslide damage which affected the island during Tropical Storm Debbie. The package consists of a suite of three annotated maps, at 1:25,000 scale, and a companion guidance document. The map data base contains an updated landslide inventory map, a debris flow hazard map and a map of existing and potential debris flow initiation sites and runout regions. The guidance document provides, i) recommendations for appropriate land use in regions of varying landslide hazard and ii) procedural action to reduce the vulnerability of planned activities to landsliding. The maps were prepared manually by calculating hazard ratios for individual hazard units, terrain units with uniform slope gradient, slope form, soil type and mean annual rainfall. Although these hazard

218

evaluation products have high utility, the problems involved in their preparation highlight the urgent need for the development of digital databases to better equip these islands to mitigate against landslides prior to a disaster, and to respond more rapidly to post-disaster conditions.

Caribbean. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: A project to model flood and drought conditions in the Caribbean was initiated in 1994 with the formation of the Climate Modelling Group, Mona (CMGM). The objective of the project is to determine the atmospheric conditions responsible for floods and droughts in the Caribbean by the use of atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). The model used in the project is the Center for Ocean Land Atmosphere Studies (COLA) model with resolution determined by triangular 30 truncation. One of the initial activities of the project was to conduct a series of statistical analyses of observed climate data to identify climate parameters which would likely affect flood and drought conditions in the Caribbean. Techniques employed included empirical orthogonal functions (eof), correlation functions and spectral analysis. The COLA model was validated for use of the University of the West Indies' computer and for use in the Caribbean region. A series of runs were then made to simulate Caribbean climate in real time and in conditions where individual or combined climate parameters were used. Model runs indicate that precipitation in the Eastern Caribbean is positively correlated with El Nino events. However, the COLA model is not accurate enough for conclusive studies and it has a resolution of 40o longitude x 5o latitude so that the climate of individual islands, such as Jamaica, is not well represented. For more accurate work and to predict climate changes in individual islands a higher resolution model, the so-called regional model, is needed. Such a model will have the beneficial spin-off of giving 10 day weather forecast for an island such as Jamaica.

Hills Volcano, Montserrat, West Indies. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard

Ab: Geodetic levelling stations designed to measure earth tilt as a means of prediction of volcanic activity, were established at the Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat in 1966. These early stations used a Hawaiian-type portable water-tube tiltmeter and were deployed during the 1966-67 volcano-seismic crisis. Single setup levelling lines using a Wild N3 precision level replaced the water-tube tiltmeters during the 1980s and a number of new stations were established. During the current period of unrest at the Soufriere Hills volcano, a variety of techniques and instruments have been used to measure ground deformation. These include: a) Single-setup or "dry tilt" levelling using a Wild N2 level; b) Electronic tiltmeters using bubble tiltmeters; c) Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) using a Leica TC1100 total station. The techniques and instrumentation used has evolved in response to specific problems which have arisen as the crisis developed. The EDM technique has proved to be the most useful in terms of interpretation of the progress of the eruption. Changes in ground tilt have been noted at the dry tilt stations but these have been ambiguous. No genuine tilt event has been recorded by the electronic tiltmeter stations. Expansions of the Castle Peak region has been continuous since the application of the EDM technique during late August 1995. The rate has generally been very low but an increase in the rate of expansion by one to two orders of magnitude immediately preceded the phase of significant dome growth which began in the middle of November 1995. The poster examines all aspects of ground deformation used in Montserrat. The principles, techniques and equipment used, particularly during the current period of volcanic activity, are presented as well as some of the results obtained so far. The development of the ground deformation network is also highlighted and plans for its future expansion reviewed briefly.

at English's Crater, Montserrat, West Indies So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: The Soufriere Hills Volcano lies in the south-central part of the island of Montserrat, at the northern end of the Lesser Antilles island arc. Volcanic activity in the past has produced a series of volcanic domes: Gages, Chances, Galways and Perches, which

encircle a horse-shoe shaped summit crater. English's Crater is an arcuate structure one kilometre in diametre breached on the east and partly filled by Castle Peak dome. Eruptive activity began at the Soufriere Hills volcano on 18, July with the opening of a steam and ash vent on the northwest side of Castle Peak dome. During the period July to September 1995, activity at the volcano was largely phreatic and a succession of vents formed, which skirted the flank and top of the old Castle Peak dome. A cryptodome was formed during late September 1995 and a juvenile spine was extruded on the west side of Castle Peak dome. Since this time visible activity at the volcano has been characterised by slow growth accompanied by magmatic gas emission. Visual observations of conditions at English's Crater from a helicopter and from various observation points around the volcano, have been a vital component of monitoring activities. Basic photography using small and medium format still cameras have been used to document changes around the volcano. Significant changes in the morphology of Castle Peak dome and in conditions at English’s Crater, which have occurred during the eruption have been well documented. This poster presents a pictorial review of the 1995/96 eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano using both photographs and topographic maps to illustrate the morphological changes which have occurred at Castle Peak dome. It serves to highlight the utility of a detailed photographic and visual record in the interpretation and analysis of volcanic activity.

Ab: The Hazard and Risk Assessment Project currently underway in the British Virgin Islands involves the systematic evaluation and mapping of natural and man-made hazards, production of an inventory of the elements at risk, establishing degrees of vulnerability and estimating losses. Ultimately risk associated with the various hazards will be assessed. The project is being conducted within the framework of a Geographic Information System. Data sets generated by the different stages of the project are overlain and additional Data sets or themes developed. The GIS

220

data base will serve as inputs for long term development planning purposes and real time disaster management. The outputs of the project are to be used to develop disaster mitigation strategies. The advantages of a comprehensive approach to hazard assessment is outlined and the value of GIS in environmental management is demonstrated.

Management: abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies, Department. of Geography and Geology Unit for Disaster Studies, 1996. 3.


Ab: Neotectonic faults and fault scarps form an important landslide generating environment on the island of Jamaica, located in a seismically active, strike-slip plate boundary zone. Some of the more spectacular and damaging landslides, e.g. Judgement Cliff, Millbank, Rio Nuevo Valley, Ewarton and Preston are associated with neotectonic structures. In all cases, it is Tertiary limestones exposed in the fault scarps that have slipped over a basement of older and relatively less competent rocks. At Judgement Cliff, the rupture surface lies within lithological horizons containing gypsum. These conditions provide an ideal environment for the overlying limestone slabs to slip over the weak basement rocks. In areas where fault scarps overlook relatively narrow valleys, such landslides have the potential to block and dam the river course, flooding the valley with a temporary lake. The Millbank and, probably, the Judgement Cliff landslides were of this type. The landslide triggering mechanisms are heavy rainfall and/or seismic vibrations. Human interference with the slopes associated with fault scarps is thought to increase their susceptibility to failure.

system. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: The Oil Spill Information Management System (OSIMS) is an integrated information management tool providing a graphical interface to an object-

oriented database of geographical and other spill-related data. OSIMS combines the utility of a Geographic Information System (GIS) with the intelligence of a Decision Support System (DSS), and provides world-wide access through the Internet and the World-Wide Web (WWW). In addition to the static maps available in a traditional GIS, OSIMS provides an advanced visualization tool for atmospheric and oceanic data, including animations of oil spill trajectory models and 3-D plots of ocean currents. The DSS component of OSIMS includes on-line contingency plans for selected areas of the Florida Coast, which may be accessed by the user or searched automatically by a rule-based expert system (CLIPS). Rules are used to determine what to display, and at what level of detail. The key is to provide the requisite information without overwhelming the user with irrelevant details. OSIMS provides the high degree of organisation and preparation required to allow the various agencies and responsible parties to effectively manage an oil spill cleanup effort. OSIMS may also provide an organised management system to support strategic activities, e.g. contingency-planning, training and event-reconstruction. A prototype regional OSIMS system has been developed. The system is also capable of being expanded to address more general pollution issues, fishery management issues and expand its geographic focus in the Sea of the Americas. It can also form the basis for the development of similar information management systems for the other natural and man-made hazards and emergency situations.

volcanic unrest in the Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, West Indies.



Ab: On 18, July 1995, after almost three years of irregularly increasing seismicity, phreatic explosions opened a vent at the Soufriere Hills volcano, about 4 km east of the capital city of Plymouth, Montserrat, West Indies. A programme of primarily airborne gas measurements using the COSPEC (correlation spectrometer) method to assess SO2 emissions was initiated to help monitor the unrest. Excellent logistical support allowed almost daily flights from late July to early September, 1995. The SO2 data correlated well with seismic and observational data

221

and helped constrain hypotheses regarding the unrest. These measurements implicated magma in the unrest four months before the first arrival of juvenile material at the surface. COSPEC measurements began on 29, July 1995, a day after phreatic explosions opened a second vent (Vent 2) in English's Crater, an easterly directed breach in the summit of the Soufriere Hills volcano and the site of the youngest volcanic activity on the island. Initial SO2 values of 300100 tonnes per day (t/d) were detected until 4 August 1995 when a value of 800 t/d was measured shortly after a seismic signal, indicative of a steam emission event had occurred. This heralded the 5-6 August 1995 seismic swarm which was interpreted to be the manifestation of magma being intruded to shallow levels. Maximum COSPEC measurements during the swarm were 1200t/d. This value fell to about 200t/d after the swarm was over, and over the next two weeks COSPEC measurements held steady at about 150t/d. A second seismic swarm (13 August, 1995) centered on a complex of older domes northwest of the Soufriere Hills and had no effect on SO2 emissions. This is consistent with the interpretation that this second seismic swarm was due to crustal readjustments and not to another batch of magma moving to shallow levels. On 21 August 1995, SO2 values fell abruptly to background levels after a third period of intense shallow seismicity. The decrease in SO2 was coincident with an abrupt decrease in tremor. From this period until 02 September, 1995 when COSPEC measurements ceased, SO2 levels only deviated from background levels briefly (and then only slightly above background) immediately after a third vent opened on 27 August 1995.

Management: abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies. Dept. of Geography and Geology. Unit for Disaster Studies, 1996. 22.


Ab: Ash clouds from erupting volcanoes pose serious hazards to aircraft flying through them. Environmental satellite data offer a means of detecting volcanic eruptions in order to issue timely warnings. Ash plumes may be detected by visible or infrared sensors during daylight hours, and by infrared sensors at night. Ash drift direction may be correlated with radiosonde wind data to estimate ash cloud altitudes. In response to several situations where jet aircraft flew into the ash cloud of an

erupting volcano and experienced severe damage, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the U.S. Geological Survey have formally implemented the Volcano Hazards Alert Plan, a cooperative, operational system to coordinate information on ongoing eruptions and issue warnings of the presence of air-borne ash to aviation interests. The plan is activated whenever an eruption occurs which may endanger aircraft within U.S. Flight Information Regions (FIRs). The Synoptic Analysis Branch of the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) provides information at 3 to 12 hour intervals on the location and time of the eruption, estimated height and horizontal distribution of the ash cloud and estimated direction of movement to the National Weather Service and the FAA, which transmit appropriate warnings to aviators. Currently under development at NESDIS are procedures to provide more timely access to high resolution Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer imagery, and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer data using modern communication links, and workstation technology.

preliminary approach. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: General features of seismicity of North Central Caribbean region were established from earthquake data. They were used together with regional neotectonic characteristics for delineating main seismic source zones. Seismic hazard assessment in terms of intensity was performed with program SACUDIDI. Initial data (rate of seismicity, intensity attenuation, maximum magnitude, focal depths) were specially prepared or taken from papers or reports. As main results, recurrence periods for different intensities in points of a regular grid were obtained. Seismic zoning was performed, instead of selecting a particular hazard map (intensities for a given recurrence period or given waiting time and probability level), by classification of recurrence periods of different intensities, with the aim of a logical-combinatorial algorithm of non supervised pattern recognition included in system PROGNOSIS. Results -group of points with similar hazard behaviour, characterised by one of them called "holotype" - are presented in a zoning map together

with curves of recurrence periods vs. intensity for holotypes.

Power, John A. Ti: Seismicity during the current eruption of the

Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, West Indies. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: The Soufriere Hills volcano, located in southern Montserrat, started erupting on 18 July 1995 after about 400 years of quiescence. The eruption has been going on for almost one year and has moved through an initial phase of phreatic eruptions to one presently dominated by the slow and quiet emplacement of a lightly degassed andesitic lava dome whose over-steepened sides occasionally collapse to produce pyroclastic flows. During the current eruption a broad spectrum of seismic signals, including volcano-tectonic earthquakes, long period earth quakes, hybrid earthquakes and tremor, has been recorded by a nine-station seismic network. This network was an upgrade during the first two weeks of the eruption of a pre-eruption network of two permanent and four temporary seismic stations operated by the Seismic Research Unit. To date, more than 50,000 earthquakes have been detected of which more than l1,000 have been located. Most of the located earthquakes place in the area beneath and surrounding the Soufriere Hills volcano at depths in the range 0-8 km. The seismic events have shown both spatial and temporal variations. While the initial (phreatic) phase of the eruptions was dominated by the occurrence of volcano-tectonic earthquakes (mainly as short duration swarms), their numbers decreased considerably after the extrusion of the lava dome. Intense, repetitive, hybrid earthquake swarms generally seem to be associated with periods of increased dome growth while long period events do not seem to show any specific associations. Current seismic activity is dominated by signals attributable to rockfalls from the growing lava dome.

Ab: Montserrat is one of the islands forming the inner volcanically active segment of the Lesser Antilles arc. The Soufriere Hills Volcano, located in the southern part of the island, started erupting on 18, July 1995 for the first time since European colonization of the island in 1632. However, during the past 100 years, the seismicity of Montserrat has been dominated by the occurrence of long duration, major earthquake swarms or volcano-seismic crises in 1897-98, 1933-37 and 1966-67. None of these was accompanied by an eruption although there are increased activity at some of the Soufrieres and possible minor ground deformation in the southern part of the island during the 1966-67 episode. Seismicity preceding the 18 July 1995 eruption was dominated by energy release in the form of episodic earthquake swarms. During the period January 1992 to 17, July 1995, eighteen low to moderate intensity earthquake swarms of variable durations ranging from a few hours to several days occurred in Montserrat. In June 1994, because of one of these earthquake sequences which was slightly more intense, the Seismic Research Unit increased the number of seismic stations in Montserrat from the pre-existing two (which were telemetered to Trinidad) to six, with data from five of the stations being recorded on a PC locally, as well as continuing transmission of signals from the original two stations to Trinidad. These swarms are often characterised by a non-stationarity of events within them, i.e., there is clustering of earthquakes into subswarms. Hypocentres calculated for some of these earthquakes yields a spatial distribution of epicentres concentrated in southern Montserrat and focal depths generally less than 20km. However, unlike the major sequences in 1897-98, 1933-37 and 1966-67, no change in the activity rates at the Soufrieres was observed during the recent swarms.

the aftermath. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: The relationship between disaster and social change is an intriguing one. There are obvious ways in which the physical destruction caused by an earthquake or hurricane, as examples, leads to changes in the social

223

structure and culture of a community. Internal factors, such as population loss or redistribution, are likely to result in long-term alterations in its demography and economy. This paper focuses, however, on changes precipitated by external forces in the aftermath. Increasingly people and individuals from all over the world respond to disasters--converging, often with surprising speed, into stricken communities with motives ranging from altruism to avarice. The effects of the infusion of people, ideas, resources and technologies can be profound, particularly on small, relatively isolated communities, such as the islands of the Caribbean. Using case studies from hurricanes Hugo on St. Croix, Andrew in Miami, and Marilyn on St. Thomas, this paper examines several factors, some inherent in the social system itself, others in the nature of the disaster, influencing the extent and ways in which a disaster-struck society is likely to be changed. This leads to speculation about how communities might mitigate against the negative effects of these "second disasters".

So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, Hazards and Hazard Management: abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies. Department of Geography and Geology. Unit for Disaster Studies, 1996. 16.


Ab: A large landslide occurred during the night of 12-13 June 1992, 700m upstream of the Power House site of Toro 2 hydroelectric project under construction. A combination of factors contributed to the slide of 2.5X10 6m3 pond. The debris dam was composed of 70 percent large rock boulders (columnar lavas, volcanic breccia) several decimeters to decameters in diameter and 30 percent pyroclasts, soils and vegetation debris. The destruction of the dam occurred progressively from June 16 to July 14. By the end of September there were practically no remains of the dam. The debris was carried downstream and aggraded from 20 to 30m the course of the river at the power house site. In September, 1964, the river has re-excavated the course 10-15m. It is estimated that the river will find its former level in 8-10 years. The stability of the slope behind the power house was re-evaluated through field reconnaissances, drill holes, geophysical prospection and calculations. It is estimated that the slope is stable in terms of large slides, but the penstock,

powerhouse, bridge and tailrace structures are vulnerable to minor rock falls and floods, to which they will be appropriately protected.

deterioration from aerial photographs. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



Ab: Roads, railways and coastlines are all large scale linear features usually incorporating many earthworks. These earthworks are subject to deterioration and may fail causing serious problems. A significant number of these failures could be prevented if all earthworks were monitored frequently and early signs of deterioration noted so that improvements could be made. Inspections on foot, however, are very costly and time consuming and therefore are rarely undertaken. A technique to monitor earthworks and provide information for their repair has been developed at the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL)). It has been used in a number of countries including Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines and Jordan to record and analyse slope conditions on more than 700 km of road. The analysis procedure employed is designed to be used on linear features, when many earthworks have to be evaluated quickly and inexpensively, and concise information about their location and cause of deterioration is required. Details of the technique used to record earthworks and description of the analysis procedure is provided, with an example showing the results for one particular section of road in the Philippines.

sea life in the west of Montserrat. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Science, hazards and hazard



224

Ab: Healthy coral reefs are found along the western coast of Montserrat wherever rocky outcroppings provide substrate for their development. Since July 1995, the Soufriere Hills volcano had frequent phreatic eruptions. The prevailing easterly winds have transported the airborne volcanic ash predominantly into the sea south of Bransby Point. Rain water transported ash that was deposited on land into the sea via rivers and ghauts. Both models of pollution had different effects on the marine biosphere. The airborne ash fell on the surface of the sea over a large area. As it sank slowly to the bottom, the currents further diluted the material. Thus an effect on the reefs was only seen after the largest of the eruptions. In these cases mainly marine algae suffered. It took about two to three weeks for them to regenerate. The ash that was washed down the rivers entered the sea in high concentration (mud) and it was deposited around the mouths of the rivers or ghauts. The reef adjacent to the mouth of White River was monitored. The ash that was washed down the rivers entered the sea in high concentration (mud) and it was deposited around the mouths of the rivers or ghauts. The reef adjacent to the mouth of White River was monitored. In October 1995 a layer of about 20 cm of silt covered a large area ranging from the mouth of the river to a depth of about 20cm. In this region the previously healthy reef was completely destroyed. In the periphery of the silt deposits, the sequence of the decay of the reef could be studied. At first, after being covered by only a thin film of silt, the green and brown algae died. The next organisms to be affected were sponges. Lighter loads of silt apparently could be cleared away by sucking it through the pores of the animals. However, if the silt load got too heavy the sponges died. Corals survived the longest due to their ability to clear the silt from their surfaces. The picture gets somewhat complicated by two hurricanes and a tropical storm in August and September 1995 and by torrential rainfalls in December 1995. In addition to the new volcanic material, these storms washed huge amounts of old soil into the sea. Due to the nature of the tidal currents in Montserrat, there is no transportation of material in the sea from the south of Bransby Point to the North of it and vice versa. Ash falls in the region north of Bransby Point are not affected at all by the volcanic activity. Eventual changes in these reefs must be attributed solely to the effect of the storms.

Ab: Important contributions in identifying natural hazards and vulnerability in Costa Rica have been made by individuals and institutions, however, relatively little effort has been aimed towards prevention, preparedness ad mitigation of natural disasters. Recognition and prevention campaigns which were initiated in the late 1980's and early 1990's lacked momentum and their benefits have vanished without the required continuity. Heavy economic losses caused by natural disasters such as the Limon-Telire earthquake (April 22, 1991;Mw 7.6; 5 to 8.5 percent of 1991 Gross National Product, GNP) and a GNP loss average of close to 2 percent /year (around US$2 billion between 1988 and 1993) should be a testimonial motivation to reinitiate and improve a general preventive and mitigative programme for natural hazards. Essential elements in this programme ere planning and land-use zonation endeavours, design and implementation of expedite information flux systems, education programmes for students as well as the general public and sponsorship for multidisciplinary technical groups. The image and credibility of organisations such as Commission Nacional de Emergencia (CNE) should be appraised and strengthened working with specific communities upon which situations urgently require help in the natural hazards field.

225

Ab: Recent revisions of the selection of seismic maximum ground motions to be used for the design and/or safety evaluation of critical dams state that such works should be capable of withstanding the expected effects of the maximum credible earthquakes at the site. This implies the review of a number of dams located in seismic-prone areas, upstream of important population centres and, most important, represents a more conservative strategy in the engineering approach to dam design. In parallel to this, currently used earthquake resistant code design criteria are based on maximum ground motions which have been selected upon annual exceedences, far smaller than those accepted for the selection of maximum wind design velocities, whatever, the definition used for 'sustained velocity'. The fact that during the last five centuries, the vast majority of the Caribbean countries have been affected several times by destructive hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis, makes the previous issue a critical one for short and long term planning and development. It seems desirable, that long term mitigation strategies against the threat of natural hazards should follow unified criteria, associated with acceptable costs as well as with a reasonably small probability of an unacceptable performance. This paper discusses these particular issues, with emphasis on the expected structural reliability of presently enforced seismic design codes.

Ab: Natural disasters can have profound deleterious effects on public and private water systems. These negative impacts also pose a threat to the public's health through the effects of hazardous materials released into the environment by the disaster or through the transmission of waterborne or water-associated diseases. Natural disasters, especially floods, may cause sewage contamination of water supplies and cause the proliferation of mosquitoes, flies and rats. One of the major health consequences of disasters is contamination of the water supply by pathogenic microbes. Prevention and control of waterborne diseases in the disaster area falls within the purview of the preventive medicine team. Protection of the health of emergency responders is given high priority. Provision of emergency supplies of potable water, restoration of water-treatment and sewage-treatment systems, food-service inspections, testing of water supplies for coliforms, sanitation in emergency shelters and environmental sanitation in general, monitoring and suppression (if necessary and feasible) of pest and vector populations, epidemiological surveillance and disease control, and collaboration with local health workers are all important activities of the preventive medicine team.

In addition to real time use during and immediately after disasters. WWW can play a vital and preventative and pro-active role in increasing public awareness, reversing the still prevalent passive attitude against natural disasters, improving and making environmental education more relevant, and promoting appropriate codification, legislation and enforcement of zoning, construction, insurance and emergency measures.

recognized at the 1992 United Nations Conference and Development Conference [UNCED] as requiring special attention by the scientific community in order to address problems associated with sustainable economic development and coastal area management. The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO convened a meeting on small island oceanography (Martinique, 8-10 November 1993) that brought together specialist from marine science, geography, hydrology, ecology, fisheries, management, economics and sociology. Thirty participants from 15 countries and SIDS in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans approach the challenge from UNCED with cross-cutting lectures, debates, and problem solving exercises focusing on the three "c's" of successful interdisciplinary endeavor: communication, collaboration and coordination. Oceanographic science information to support coastal zone management was deemed essential to the following most critical and related SIDS issue areas: (1) water quality; (2) natural hazards prediction and response planning; (3) harvest of living marine resources; (4) shoreline coastal dynamics; and (5) habitat conservation. Cross-cutting solutions to these five issue areas emphasize the need for numerical modelling, enhance monitoring and inter-calibrations, education and training, data sharing, regional coordination and networking, and appropriate methodology development of for decision making, In particular, quantitative data from coastal physical oceanography was identified as the highest priority in an issue/solution matrix, and the expanded use of PC or workstation computer models that integrate the physical environment with socio-economic response such as climate change, sea level rise, and population growth was recommended.

Ab: On 18 July 1995, the lives of the approximately 10,000 people living on the island of Montserrat were changed dramatically as the Soufriere Hills volcano sprang to life. While life has been particularly difficult for the 4000 persons who have had to be relocated in the interest of safety, no resident on the island has been untouched by this crisis situation. The impact, from an economic/developmental standpoint, has been tremendous, but more so, in the socio-psychological sphere. It is the latter which is the focus of this study. A series of counselling sessions are being held with persons from all walks of life, relocated or not, both in groups and with individuals. Stress levels are extremely high as the activity nears its one year mark, and this is manifested in a number of ways. This includes feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and displacement; irritability and increased aggressiveness, reduced capacity for decision making, poor concentration and short-term memory. The limitation in available accommodation has forced separation of family members on one hand, or overcrowding on the other, as persons attempt to deal with this problem. Reports of increased sexual activity, less attention to rules/regulations and reduced ability to focus on academics have been raised among youths. While for others, loss of employment, impending layoffs and reduction in work hours are raising the panic button. Conversely, terms such as broadband tremor, pyroclastic flows, dome growth and EDM measurement have taken on new meaning, and are now part of the vernacular of the youngest child, as an island looks on with awe at the wonders of nature. For the first time since activity started, people are now coming to terms with the reality of the situation and are understanding the long-term repercussions of this crisis.

So: Caribbean Journal of Science; 32(2):206-13, Aug.1996.

Ab: From August 1993 to August 1994, bats were surveyed on Montserrat, Lesser Antilles. Four years after this small volcanic island was struck by Hurricane Hugo (1989), there remains a 20-fold decrease in bat populations as compared to levels before Hugo. After the hurricane, compositions of the community shifted from smaller fungivorous species to one of more omnivorous and larger fungivorous species. With the addition of a new record for Sturnira thomasi, voucher specimens from Montserrat exist for ten species of Chiroptera: Noctilio lrporinus, Monophylus plethodon, Sturnira thomasi, Chiroderma improvisum, Artibeus jamaicensis, Ardops nichollsi, Brachyphylla cavernarum, Natallus stramineus, Tardarida brasiliensis and Molosus molossus.

By integrating data from aerial and sonar profiles, sediment analysis, cores, and underwater sections, it is shown that hurricanes control the anatomy of the fringing-reef complex and dictate where the reef develops on the shelf. In addition, consideration of how these hurricane processes interact with sea-level rise allows us to propose a process-response model of reef development that not only explains lateral architectural variations along the fringing-reef complex but also provides a mechanism by which fringing reefs can develop into barrier reefs and eventually into atolls.

by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory high resolution triply nested movable-mesh hurricane model was analysed. Emphasis was placed on the quasi-steady component of the asymmetric structure in the region of the eyewall. It was found that the asymmetry was primarily caused by the relative wind, that is, the flow entering and leaving the storm region relative to the moving storm. A set of idealized numerical experiments was first performed both with a constant and a variable Coriolis parameter (f) and the addition of basic flows that were either constant or sheared with height. Analysis was then made for one case of Hurricane Gilbert (1988) to demonstrate that the quasi-steady asymmetric structure analyzed in the idealized studies could be identified in this real data case.

Ab: Monthly aggregate rainfall for 25 stations in the English-speaking Caribbean region were analysed using the computer software, RAINBOW in order to obtain rainfall values with different levels of probability. Most of the monthly aggregate rainfall data for the stations were homogeneous and log-normally distributed. The method to be used to obtain the rainfall values of different probabilities using the given parameters of the log-normal distribution is described. Simple linear regression models were developed to relate dependable rainfall at 20, 50 and 80 percent probability levels to mean monthly aggregate rainfall for individual stations as well as for the entire English-speaking Caribbean region. The dependable rainfall of some other 10 Caribbean stations estimated by the derived models were close to the published values. The use of these models is expected to remove the tedium involved in obtaining such rainfall probability data particularly for locations with insufficient recorded data.

Ab: A Caribbean data base developed by the Climate Modelling Group, Mona (CMGM) is described. The engine of the database is the Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS), which is an interactive desktop tool that is currently in use world wide for analysis and display of earth science data. GrADS was developed by the Center for Ocean Land Atmosphere Studies (COLA) with whom CMGM is associated. The data base presently contains precipitation, temperature and sea level pressure from Caribbean stations and, with expanded computing facilities, other earth science data can be added including sea level and ecology data on a gross scale. Data can be presented in graphical form or extracted in an ASCII file. A data base such as the one described, available on the Internet, is a powerful regional resource for researchers and other persons interested in climate, hazards and disasters. It can

afford easy and quick access to updated data which can be used for graphical presentation, for statistical analysis and for inputs to research programmes.

Ab: The Dvorak technique is the internationally recognized means of estimating tropical cyclone intensity using satellite imagery. A drawback of the technique is that it can be highly subjective. This paper analyzes an improved objective satellite technique for use on strong tropical storms and hurricanes. The objective technique uses the warmest eye temperature and the coldest surrounding ring temperature to determine the final T number. The unusually active 1995 Actlantic hurricane season provided the basis for a preliminary analysis of the objective technique. An initial study based on this single season revealed that (1) a negative bias existed in the Satellite Analysis Branch's subjective Dvorak estimates compared to reconnaissance observed mean sea level pressure observations; (2) a negative bias also existed with the objective technique; and (3) a critical review of the current intensity-wind-pressure relationship is warranted.

231

landslide has been described briefly in a previous publication. The Jupiter landslide is similar in form to, and has developed over the same geological units, as the Millbank slide. Although presumed to be prehistoric, its geomorphology suggests that it is of comparatively recent origin, and the nature of the debris indicate that more than one event is involved. Debris from one of the more recent events extended across the valley floor, with appreciable run-up on the opposite side of the valley from which the slide originated. Investigation of these landslide features is continuing.

Ab: Reports of 50 tsunamis of varying certainty are listed for the Caribbean beginning with an event off the coast of Venezuela in 1530. Fifteen of these have reports of damage associated with them and six have reported fatalities. As a thoroughly research history for the region has not been done, these numbers are approximate and probably low. The author has just learnt of but not yet seen, a paper on Caribbean tsunamis by Myrtle Thorm and Compton Deane at the Civil Engineering Department, University of the West Indies, St, Agustine, Trinidad written in the late 1970's. Also given the increase in coastal development, a repeat of these events today would cause much higher damage and fatalities. Although the history of the Caribbean area is the longest in the Western Hemisphere, the tsunamis history has not been studies in detail. The varied colonial past and the number of political divisions made such a study

difficult and needing local involvement. Tsunamis have affected the whole area from the northern coast of South America, Costa Rica and Panama, to the whole arc of the Antilles. It is subject to tsunamis of tectonic origin associated with the trench and structures cutting the arc. Notable is the 1867 tsunami originating in the Anegada trough between St. Thomas and St. Croix, Virgin Islands, which caused 14 to 16 fatalities and was observed throughout the Caribbean. The 1918 off the northwestern corner of Puerto Rico caused 40 fatalities and extensive damage. The Caribbean area is also subject to rare but destructive tele tsunamis from Atlantic sources. The 1755 tsunamis which affected Lisbon, North Africa and England put waves as high as 7 metres at Saba and 3.7 metres at Antigua and Dominica. Waves reached the second story of buildings in Martinique. The Caribbean may also be subject to tsunamis generated by volcanic activity as seen by the 1690 landslide on Nevis Peak and an explosion of a mud volcano near Trinidad in 1911. Kick-em Jenny, a submarine volcano discovered in 1939, may have generated small, local tsunamis in the 1939 or 1990 eruptions (Sigurdsson, 1996) and may in the future produces a larger wave. Landslides are another source of tsunamis. Each type of source produces tsunamis with different characteristics. The risk should be thoroughly evaluated by a multinational effort to improve the history and predict the effect by using models.

So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Natural hazards and hazard management in the Greater Caribbean and Latin America. Kingston, Unit for Disaster Studies, University of the West Indies, 1997. 43-6


Ab: Continuing analyses of seismograms for earthquake event recorded by the University of Florida network yield attenuation coefficients related to the geographic origin of the event. Of 34 events subject to reanalyses, twenty-one originated in Central and South America. Identifiable Lg phases are selected from record of events from North America, but P wave phases were used for those events from the circum-Caribbean region. An attenuation coefficient of y = 0.11 per degree is derived from events which originated in North America. Efforts to independently calculate Q values of 172 to 688. While these y and Q values are comparable to assigned values for the eastern United States, significantly

232

higher attenuation is recognized from records of events from the circum-Caribbean region. Analyses of events from Central and South America yield y = 0.15 per degree. These results suggests that attenuation values and resulting hazard assessment should be segregated according to events from specific seismotectonic provinces, and that some anisotropy may exist in the attenuation of seismic waves through the circum-Caribbean region.

So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Natural hazards and hazard management in the Greater Caribbean and Latin America. Kingston, University of the West Indies, Department of Geography nad Geology, Unit for Disaster Studies, 1997. 19-32.


Ab: Soufriere Hills Volcano (Montserrat, British West Indies) consists of a series of andesitic lava domes. English's Crater, a horseshoe-shaped depression opening to the east north-east, contains the youngest dome prior to the onset of volcanic activity on 18 July 1995 and the creation of the 1995-6 dome complex. The computer code FLOW3D is being used to stimulate several types of volcanic flows that have been observed or may potentially occur at the Soufriere Hills. Because of their predominance at Soufriere Hills, an understanding of pyroclastic flows produced by the disintegration of lava domes is critical. In this study, we concentrate primarily upon pyroclastic flows and lahars, as well as examine an energy-cone model. The programme first constructs a digital terrain model based upon a 3D network of (x,y,z) triplets. The triangulated irregular network (TIN) of digitized topographic data serves as the basis for the numerical computations. Gravitational acceleration and flow retardation is interactively calculated for each flow element as it passes over the finite element net. The shear stress retarding the flows is divided into three parameters: basal friction, internal viscosity (or viscous drag), and internal acceleration (or dissipation). Estimated values and limits for these flow parameters are based upon the known distribution of products from Soufriere Hills and the observation of actual flows of various types at other volcanoes. Any desired number of flow paths can be traced to their terminations with the velocity displayed on a color scale. An animated eruption image is presented on a computer screen as a three

dimensional model. These computer simulations can be extremely useful in assessing and mitigating the risk associated with several types of volcanic hazards.

Ab: The Caribbean is affected by geological, climatic and environmental hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tropical cyclones, floods, drought environmental pollution and deforestation. However, historically, the damage caused earthquakes has not been as great as that caused by hurricanes and floods. In this paper therefore, possible mitigation strategies for reducing losses from hurricanes and earthquakes in the Caribbean are discussed with particular reference to the Caribbean Uniform Building Code (CUBiC) provision for wind and earthquake loads. A brief review of these provisions is presented and it is emphasized that there is an urgent need to enforce compliance with the requirements of CUBiC and to encourage higher standards of construction quality throughout the Caribbean. Other factors affecting effective mitigation strategies are outlined and the economics and practicalities of mitigation are discussed against the background of the attitudes of the Caribbean peoples at risk and the nature of Caribbean political administrations. The paper concludes that successful mitigation strategies must involve the close collaboration between the local community and the government agencies and must contain a mixture of immediately visible improvements and of less visible but long-term sustainable benefits. In this regard the paper recommends the urgent completion of Part 5 of CUBiC which deals with the construction of Small Buildings.

deterioration from aerial photographs. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Natural hazards and hazard



Ab: Roads, railways and coastlines are all large scale linear features usually incorporating many earthworks. These earthworks are subject to deterioration and many fail causing serious problems. A significant number of these failures could be prevented if all earthworks were monitored frequently and early signs of deterioration noted so that improvements could be made. Inspections on foot, however, is very costly and time consuming and therefore are rarely undertaken on a frequent basis. A technique, known as ECAT, to monitor earthworks and provide information for their repair has been developed at the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL). The analysis procedure employed is designed to be used on linear features, when many earthworks have to be evaluated quickly and in expensively, and concise information about their location and cause of deterioration is required. The technique used to record earthworks and a description of the analysis procedure is provided with an example showing the results of the analysis.

Ab: Volcanic ash plumes injected into the atmosphere pose dangers to aircraft flying through them. Geostationary and polar orbiting meteorological satellite data offer a means of detecting volcanic eruptions in order to issue timely warnings. NOAA and the U.S Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have implemented the Volcano Hazard Plan. This is a cooperative, operational system to coordinate information on ongoing eruptions and issue warnings of the presence of airborne ash to aviation interests. The plan is activated whenever an eruption occurs which may endanger aircraft within continental U.S. Flight Information Regions (FIRs). NESDIS' Synoptic Analysis Branch (SAB) is responsible for the satellite support and overall coordination required for the plan. Currently under development at NESDIS is a procedure to provide more timely access to high

resolution AVHRR imagery, using modern communication links and workstation technology.


ID: 1859 Au: Gorham, Richard J. Ti: Waterborne disease control in natural disasters. So: In: Ahmad, Rafi. ed. Natural hazards and hazard



Ab: Natural disasters have profound deleterious effects on public and private water systems. These negative impacts also pose a threat to the public's health through the effects of hazardous materials released into the environment by the disaster or through the transmission of waterborne or water associated diseases. Natural disasters, especially floods, may cause the contamination of water supplies by sewage and the proliferation of mosquitoes, flies and rats. One of the major health consequences of disasters is the contamination of the water supply by pathogenic microbes. Prevention and control of waterborne diseases in the disaster area fall within the purview of the preventive medicine team. Protection of the health emergency responders is given highest priority. Provision of emergency supplies of portable water, restoration of water-treatment and sewage-treatment systems, food service inspection, testing of water supplies for coliforms, sanitation in emergency shelters and environmental sanitation in general, monitoring and suppression (if necessary and feasible) of pest and vector populations, epidemiological surveillance and disease control, collaboration with local health workers are all important activities of the preventive medicine team.

Ab: Many developing countries initiate national emergency management agencies in response to the impact of a particular disaster. Consequently, a major part of the responsibility of these agencies is the preparation for responding to disasters, which includes the development of contingency plans. Many contingency plans however, outline a standard series of actions to be taken regardless of the magnitude of the event. Examination of the earthquake response plan for Jamaica shows that it is not based on any scientific consideration of the earthquake hazard. For example, the plan does not consider variables such as the location of epicentre or the magnitude of the earthquake. The earthquake of January 13,1993 indicated that in addition to the long accepted off-shore source zone for Jamaican earthquakes, an on-shore source for large earthquakes is a possibility. Although large earthquakes generated on-shore can be expected to cause a much higher level of death, injuries, dislocation and damage, the plan has not been updated to take this into consideration. This paper reviews historical information, recent instrumental data, and geology, and proposes an approach to earthquake contingency planning based on analysis of these factors.

Studies; 1997. 39. Ab: Rainfall patterns in the Caribbean are investigated

with particular emphasis on periods of flood and drought. An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of the rainfall in May-June-July (MJJ), one of the two rainy seasons, reveals a significant component having periodicity similar to that of El

236

Nino. Statistical and graphical analyses confirm that the heaviest MJJ rainfall occurs in the year following an El Nino event. Numerical experiments, using the Centre for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA) general circulation model and observed sea surface temperature (SST) boundary conditions, confirm a connection between the Pacific and Caribbean SST anomalies and the MJJ precipitation. Statistical and EOF analyses also suggest a link between Climate Prediction Center NINO3 and NINO4 SST and the Caribbean SST anomaly. Results of an investigation of the Caribbean wind stress patterns could be a manifestation of an El Nino type signal, but other explanations are possible. The various results indicate that SST measurements might be employed as a predictor for Caribbean flood and drought conditions.

conservation: lessons from Antigua and Barbuda. So: Caribbean Geography; 8(1):18-31, Mar. 1997. Ab: Like other small Caribbean micro-states, Antigua-

Barbuda has heavily promoted tourism to modernise its former colonial sugar economy. Three decades of free market growth, however, suggest the island's tourism path is non-sustainable. Unbridled development of large-scale infrastructure and foreign financed hotel-marina resorts along delicate coastlines has caused lost of wetlands, endemic species, and pre-Columbian settlement sites, and spawned illegal sand mining, beach erosion and near shore pollution. these coastal stresses have continued despite protective legislation, either ignored or unenforced, and the conservation effort of local citizens and non-government organizations. Four case studies of instances of irreversible environmental damage are reviewed. Results indicate a sharp public policy reversal is warranted to sustain coastal assets for

237

future commercial (tourists) and recreational (resident) value. This shift toward a more sustainable path is needed for three reasons: (1) the current context of heavy external debt and limited resources available for restoring past damage, (2) the governments pervasive control of coastal resource use and its minimal success in diversification, and (3) the gradual maturation of Antigua towards becoming a high-density mass tourism destination where crowding, asset loss, and declining visitor satisfaction are more the rule than the exception. The direction for change involves comprehensive planning, environmental education, training, and monitoring in participatory decision-making.

activity undertaken in the watershed around Kingston in the period 1983-93. These watersheds are not only important for agriculture but for Kingston’s water supply. An attempt is made to include the effects of erosion control measures on the water supply in this evaluation. The actual implementation of two projects is compared with three hypothetical alternatives. Step-by-step the major effects of the alternative activities are analyzed: the cost, the effects on foreign exchange earnings, the effects on land use and soil erosion and the resulting effect on river discharge, reservoir storage and water supply to Kingston. Unfortunately not enough hard data were available to apply a quantitative evaluation method. Using a qualitative method called 'Regime Analysis' it was found that for farmers, agriculture and planning agencies, the activities actually executed, scored better than the three alternatives. However, for consumers and water supply organizations, the option with strong emphasis on erosion control scored higher. It is concluded that in watersheds with important functions for both the rural and urban population more attention should be paid to the monitoring of the various effects of the project activities and regular government programmes alike.

Finally, the question of eruption forecasting and eruptive probability is discussed. The authors contend that volcano monitoring should form a part of an overall strategy designed to better cope with the hazards of volcanic activity in the region.

immediately before and after Hurricane Lili on islands differentially affected by the storm surge. The results support three general propositions. First, the larger organisms, lizards, are more resistant to the immediate impact of moderate disturbance, whereas the more prolific spiders recover faster. Second,

extinction risk is related to population size when disturbance is moderate but not when it is catastrophic. Third, after catastrophic disturbance, the recovery rate among different types of organisms is related to dispersal ability. The absence of the poorer dispersers, lizards, from many suitable islands is probably the result of long-lasting effects of catastrophes.

problem. Traditional subsistence farming practices of shifting cultivation, especially without soil and water conservation measures are unsustainable. Agronomic and physical measures to reduce soil erosion and render hillside agriculture sustainable are outlined. A case study in Saint Lucia showed that terraced, strip-cropped and contour-drained hillside plots had low rates of soil loss, with the terraced plot showing the least soil loss. However, the terraced plot showed the lowest overall crop yield due to soil disturbance during construction and the smaller land areas available for planting. An economic analysis of construction and maintenance costs indicates that expensive bench terraces are beyond the means of most small farmers, and that government support or incentives are needed for implementation of these techniques.

Ab: Forecasting the time, place, and character of a volcanic eruption is one of the major goals of volcanology. It is also one of the most challenging goals to achieve. The current goal is forecasting long-range volcanic eruptions, and the precept of this, is to provide the best possible long-range forecasts based on the geologic history of the volcanoes under study, as well as the day-to-day vital signs of the volcanoes in terms of surface deformation, micro-earthquakes, and gas emissions. "Eruption" performs analysis on current available volcano eruption data from both historical and current available eruption and measurement data. It produces three forecasts, a statistically projected next eruption year, the next forecasted beginning eruption year with a greater than 50 percent probability of eruption occurrence and finally, the next forecasted beginning eruption year with a greater than 95 percent probability of eruption occurrence. This software engineering package has been under development since 1989. Since the incorporation of new and improved algorithms in late 1996, the overall results of the ability to forecast by "Eruption" has yielded a significantly higher and more reliable accuracy rate. Thus, this paper re-examines the entire forecasting endeavour.

Ab: As we reported earlier (Maurrasse & Sen, 1991), Science, 252:1690-1693), a tektite layer (-55 cm thick, henceforth referred to as Layer T) containing shocked quartz grains marks the K/T boundary in Beloc area of Haiti. Here we report a newly discovered, 90 cm thick clastic layer (henceforth referred to as Layer V) from Platoon Piton, near Beloc. Spatial correlation indicates that Layer V lies about 7 m below Layer T. The fossiliferous marls, containing foraminifera and nannofossils, that occur above and below Layer V indicate the A. mayaroensis zone. Petrographically, Layer V is composed of angular volcanic rock fragments (andesitic) and isolated euhedral amphibole phenocrysts that are typical of andisitic lavas. In the field, distinct cross-stratification and lenses occur throughout this layer, indicating transportation by fluids. We interpret this layer as being a volcanaogenic breccia that has been reworked, probably in the deep marine environment.

Ab: In late 1987, the Earthquake Unit at Mona came into being at agency responsible for operating the Jamaica Seismograph Network (JSN). The Central Recording Systems were changed from analogue FM tape to PC based acquisition and processing of data. The last six years, 1990-1996, have proven to be the most consistent years of operation of the JSN. As the JSN passed into yet another era of change and modernization, accomplished in 1997, it became necessary to summarize the data captured during the period of operation of the Soufriere system in Jamaica. An examination of local seismicity was undertaken for the nine years from 1988 to 1996. The studied area lies between latitudes 17.5o and 19.0o N

240

and longitudes 75.5o and 79.0o W. It includes the island of Jamaica and roughly 50 km offshore from the coastline. For this work, earthquakes falling within these limits are referred to as 'local'. The author conducted the following analyses: the completeness of the catalogue, relocation of well recorded events, focal mechanisms, of teleseismically recorded felt events, epicentral distributions and focal depth profiles. These enabled conclusions to be made about the future of Jamaican seismicity and the relationship to local faults.

Proceedings of the 15th Caribbean Geological Conference (Abstracts). Kingston, University of the West Indies (Mona). Department of Geography and Geology , 1998. 84.


Ab: Analytically, little is documented about the ejecta of mud volcanoes of Trinidad. Consequently, the chemistry and mineralogy of the mud effused at the Devil's Woodyard, Trinidad's largest mud volcano prior to the Piparo eruption in early 1997, have been investigated. In addition, X-ray diffractometry (XRD)

has been used to characterize the exotics (fragments of rocks, small boulders, pebbles, etc.) ejected along with the mud. In terms of oxides content, analytical chemical methods revealed that the mud contains some 54 percent Si02, 18 percent AI 2 03 and 6 percent Fe2 O3 as the major oxides. Similarly, while the free alumina content was found to be 3.9 percent, the soluble sulphate, soluble phosphate and organic matter content amounted to 0.60, 0.15 and 2.0 percent respectively. Mineralogically, XRD and differential thermal analysis (DTA) showed the grey, fine-particle size, high plasticity mud to be essentially a kaolinitic clay incorporating some quartz, mica, potash feldspar and calcite. Finally, XRD shows that the major exotics ejected may be grouped as quartz species, calcite species, siderite (Fe CO3), conglomeratic mudstones and lignitic organics.

Ab: Paleogene volcanic rocks are exposed in eastern Cuba in the Sierra Maestra Mountain Range, and in eastern Jamaica in the Wagwater Belt of the Port Royal Mountain Range. In Cuba, the volcanic rocks are contained within the El Cobre Group and comprise basalts, basaltic andesites, andesites and dacites, some of which have been hydrothermally altered. In Jamaica, the volcanic rocks form part of the Wagwater Group and are distinctly bimodal in composition with basalts and dacites being the dominant rock types. Metasomatism is also evident in these rocks which have altered to spilites and quartz keratophyres. The volcanic rocks of El Cobre show tholeiitic and calcalkaline characteristics typical of an island arc assemblage. In the Wagwater Group only the dacites are calcalkaline, whereas the basalts are described as tholeitic rift-related basalts (RRB). The absence of RRB in the Paleogene island arc of Cuba implies that the evolution of the arc-back-arc system in Cuba was different to that of Jamaica.

Ab: The M 5-4 (duration magnitude) Jamaica earthquake of 13th January, 1993, triggered landslides within a 300 km2 area of eastern Jamaica. Most of these were shallow slope failures confined to the weathered bedrock and soils. The other type of surface deformation features mapped were fissures and fractures which were apparently unrelated to slope failures. Landslides and fractures have also been reported for the earthquakes of 1692 and 1907. However, it is not always possible to discriminate between the fractures related to landslides and tectonic displacements, especially earthquake fault ruptures. The objective of this paper is to document and describe the field evidence that may be used in the discrimination of tectonic and landslide-related fractures using Jamaica data.
