information visualization of Hurricane Andrew's track across South Florida, August 23-24, 1992
Title
An information visualization of Hurricane Andrew's track across South Florida, August 23-24, 1992.
Creator

Abstract/Description
The main purpose of this thesis is to create an information visualization of Hurricane Andrew's path across South Florida in August 1992. Information visualization is a technique used to present data in a visual format. Information visualizations communicate scientific information to nonscientific communities in business, industry, and government. The information visualization created is a computer animation of Hurricane Andrew's development and track across South Florida. The animation will...
Show moreThe main purpose of this thesis is to create an information visualization of Hurricane Andrew's path across South Florida in August 1992. Information visualization is a technique used to present data in a visual format. Information visualizations communicate scientific information to nonscientific communities in business, industry, and government. The information visualization created is a computer animation of Hurricane Andrew's development and track across South Florida. The animation will be created from LANDSAT Multispectral Scanner imagery of South Florida and from GOES-7 Infrared imagery of Hurricane Andrew. The project goal is to combine two sets of satellite imagery with different spatial and spectral characteristics into one meaningful representation of Andrew's track across South Florida on August 23-24, 1992.

MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES AND SEDIMENTOLOGICAL SIGNATURES RESULTING FROM HURRICANE IAN IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.
Creator

Abstract/Description
On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian, a large Category 4 hurricane, caused catastrophic damage and significant morphologic change along the southwest Florida barrier islands. This study evaluates the morphologic changes and sedimentological signatures of deposits resulting from Hurricane Ian through a combination of sediment cores, RTK-GPS beach profiles, and pre- and post-storm digital elevation models. During the storm, bidirectional sediment transport processes occurred along both...
Show moreOn September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian, a large Category 4 hurricane, caused catastrophic damage and significant morphologic change along the southwest Florida barrier islands. This study evaluates the morphologic changes and sedimentological signatures of deposits resulting from Hurricane Ian through a combination of sediment cores, RTK-GPS beach profiles, and pre- and post-storm digital elevation models. During the storm, bidirectional sediment transport processes occurred along both developed and undeveloped shorelines, producing extensive washover deposits and ebb scour channels from the flood and ebb surges, respectively. Washover deposits contained interbedded sand and shell fragments with vertical grain size distributions dependent on position relative to the dune crest. Both washover deposits and ebb scour channels formed along dune crest elevational lows and were limited by dense vegetation and anthropogenic structures. Results from this study can be used to better constrain morphologic changes resulting from bidirectional sediment transport processes during large magnitude storm events.

Show moreHurricane Andrew, in 1992, represented a watershed event in illuminating the financial consequences of Florida's business and political leaders decisions fostering population and economic growth without planning or control. The frontier mentality of the early generations of pioneers carried over to later developers and politicians, and led to a vision of empty land as unlimited economic opportunity The assumption of regulatory control of the insurance industry by state government allowed the completion of the emerging national housing policies for fully securing mortgages These policies essentially made property insurance mandatory. The retention of the cartel operation of the insurance industry led to an inequitable relationship between industry and regulators. Assertive political decisions created this crisis.
