Deciphering Late Quaternary stratigraphy in a marine setting using CPTu data: insights from Northern Fujian, China
The Late Quaternary stratigraphy of the inner shelf along the southeastern China coast presents a significant challenge due to limited borehole data. A new study addresses this, integrating 54 downhole CPTu soundings, borehole logs, and a sediment core to establish a high-resolution stratigraphic record in Northern Fujian. Calibrated CPTu responses reveal three successions linked to glacio-eustatic cycles, demonstrating the potential of this methodology for resolving long subsurface records.
Hurricane induced spatial and temporal variation in salinity in a semi-enclosed subtropical Estuarine Bay
Hurricane Irma (2017) significantly impacted South Florida, yet the subsequent spatiotemporal salinity variations within Biscayne Bay remain poorly understood. This study utilizes validated numerical simulations to quantify the relative contributions of canal discharge and rainfall to these changes. Results indicate canals drove up to 90% of shoreline salinity shifts, while rainfall dominated deeper waters. Furthermore, Lagrangian particle tracking revealed wind-driven flushing, with easterly winds accelerating water expulsion and inducing spatially variable stratification within the bay.
