Gregory Dunaway Professor and Dean College of Arts & Sciences Name: Nicole Ridlen Date of Degree: May 17, 2014 Institution: Mississippi State University Major Field: Geology Major Professor: Dr.John E. Mylroie Title of Study: Speleothem strontium concentrations in eogenetic carbonates Pages in Study: 267 Candidate for Degree of Master of Science Three questions were asked during this research. 1) Does the Sr content of Caribbean speleothems have a direct relationship with the age of the host rock at the time of speleothem precipitation?; 2) do older speleothems contain less Sr than younger speleothems in the same climatic setting?; and 3) will speleothems record the change in Sr concentration of eogenetic carbonates as a faster depletion in climates of higher precipitation as opposed to drier climates? The speleothems and cave rocks in this study were analyzed with various methods in an attempt to understand the rock processes that affect speleothem Sr concentrations. Evidence to support the hypothesis that younger host rock contributes higher concentrations of Sr to speleothems was found in the stalagmites of Curacao while Bahamian stalagmites indicated climatic variations.

    23_598309 ch15.qxd 10/20/05 10:55 AM Page 272 Chapter 15 Landing in the Caribbean In This Chapter ᮣ Poking around the ports of embarkation ᮣ Calling at the Caribbean’s ports ᮣ Enjoying the best excursions ᮣ Exploring private islands hen most people think cruise, they think Caribbean, whether Wthey mean to or not. It’s almost creepy, like they’ve been programmed — and maybe they have. For a dog’s age, the cruise indus- try focused laserlike on the region, and it’s still the top cruise destina- tion, for good reason. On the practical side, the Caribbean islands (and The Bahamas, which aren’t technically on the Caribbean Sea but might as well be) are pretty much in Florida’s backyard, and are so close to one another that it makes for easy sailing. On the unpractical side are white-sand beaches, swaying palms, clear turquoise waters, tropical fish, lush gardens, deep rain forests, waterfalls, mountains, rivers, and even volcanoes — plus rich Caribbean culture, spicy Caribbean food, European colonial history, and a big dollop of laid-back island living to top it all off. The multicultural history of the region creates a checker- board blend, with the architecture, language, and customs of the Spanish, French, Dutch, Swedish, British, and Americans in their former (and cur- rent) colonies or possession. Pre-Columbian peoples, European explor- ers, pirates, and shipwrecked sailors all contributed to the stories behind numerous ruins, forts, churches, synagogues, historic homes, and museums. StormingCOPYRIGHTED the Shore MATERIAL Now granted, a lot of the islands are touristy, but often it’s confined to the vicinity of the docks and other resort areas.

    Chrystal Anderson [email protected] www.virtue-travel.com 609-500-3226 CURACAO OVERVIEW Introduction Known as part of the ABC island chain (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao), for years this former Dutch colony took a back seat to its rival islets. Curacao is a curious place. Its Dutch colonial buildings painted in shades of yellow, orange and blue are reminiscent of Amsterdam, yet the dry climate, barren soil and cacti are more akin to the southwestern U.S. But Curacao's greatest natural beauty lies offshore —around the island's coral reefs, which are drawing an increasing number of divers and snorkelers. Some of the things that set Curacao apart have little to do with tourism. With its unique buildings and natural harbor, the capital Willemstad became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997. The town is a big, bustling port (and the largest dry dock in the region). Huge ships sail right through downtown, and the Queen Emma Bridge creates a unique sight when it turns sideways to let them pass. With a mixture of 55 different nationalities on the island, Curacao has a fascinating multicultural aspect. It also has a cosmopolitan character: The majority of residents speak at least four languages—English, Spanish, Dutch and their own Papiamento. Sights—Spelunking in the Hato Caves; scuba diving through the Mushroom Forest; exploring nature trails and caves at Christoffel National Park; touring the island's landhuisen, or plantation houses; exotic drink flavors at the Curacao Liqueur Distillery at Landhuis Chobolobo; Dutch heritage along the streets of Willemstad. Museums—Curacao history at the Curacao Museum; slave history at the Kura Hulanda Museum; Jewish history at the oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere, Mikve Israel-Emanuel.

Carmabi is honored to be engaged in these efforts and always strives to assist in developing strategies to combine economic development while safeguarding the island’s natural resources, important in defining our nation’s so they can be enjoyed by both locals and visitors in the future. While challenges are very real and serious, there is hope, and a growing understanding that good conservation will greatly contribute to people’s well- being and the economic development of the island. To help with Curaçao’s ambitions to achieve a more sustainable society, Carmabi manages various nature parks on Curacao, including the Christoffelpark with the highest biodiversity on the ABC islands. These parks are a crucial component of Curaçao’s tourism product, and increasingly more important given the global increase in the demand for ecotourism destinations. Carmabi’s education programs have expanded to better educate the island’s youth about the island’s unique natural resources, both above and below the ocean’s surface.
