    U CARIBBEAn TROPICAL STORMS Ecological Implications for Pre-Hispanic and Contemporary Maya Subsistence on the Yucatan Peninsula Herman W. Konrad ABSTRACT The ecological stress factor of hurricanes is examined as a dimension of pre-Hispanic Maya adaptation to a tropical forest habitat in the Yucatan peninsula. Pre-Hispanic, colonial and contemporary texts as well as climatic data from the Caribbean region support the thesis that the hurricane was an integral feature of the pre-Hispanic Maya cosmology and ecological paradigm. The author argues that destruction of forests by tropical storms and subsequent succession cycles mimic not only swidden —"slash- and-burn"— agriculture, but also slower, natural succession cycles. With varying degrees of success, flora and fauna adapt to periodic, radical ecosystem disruption in the most frequently hard-hit areas. While not ignoring more widely-discussed issues surrounding the longevity and decline of pre-Hispanic Maya civilization, such as political development, settlement patterns, migration, demographic stability, warfare and trade, the author suggests that effective adaptation to the ecological effects of tropical storms helped determine the success of pre-Hispanic Herman W.

    AUTUMN MIGRATION of the BLACKPOLL WARBLER: EVIDENCE for LONG FLIGHT PROVIDED by REGIONAL SURVEY* by IA• C

    AUTUMN MIGRATION OF THE BLACKPOLL WARBLER: EVIDENCE FOR LONG FLIGHT PROVIDED BY REGIONAL SURVEY* By IA• C. T. The long migrations of the Blackpoll Warbler (Dendroica striata) have been discussedextensively. The speciesbreeds farther to the north and west and winters farther to the south and east than most other North American warblers (Fig. 3); on autumn migration it is found in large numbers along the Atlantic seaboard of North America. Cooke (1904, 1915) suggestedthat all birds of the species migrate SSW down the Atlantic Coast to the southeastern United States, before turning southeasttowards their winter range. This hypothesishas been restated and mapped by Murray (1965, 1966a). On the other hand, Nisbet et al. (1963) suggestedthat many birds which stop over in southern New England migrate SSE from there acrossthe Atlantic Ocean towards their wintering range. If con- firmed, their long flight is of considerableimportance for physio- logical, aerodynamic and navSgationaltheories (Nisbet et al. 1963, Nisbet 1967, Griffin 1969). This paper attempts to resolve the question by surveying the abundance of Blackpoll Warblers on autumn migration throughout North America south of the breed- ing range. Quantitative comparisons between regions in this paper are based mainly on two sourcesof numerical data: (a) collections of birds killed in accidents during nocturnal migration, and (b) systematic sampling by mist-nets at banding stations. For the critical area of the southeasternUnited States, I have also made a detailed survey of published and unpublisheddata on local occur- renee of grounded migrants. The relative merits of these sources of data will be discussedat the end of the paper.

CPRA was established by the Louisiana Legislature in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita through Act 8 of the First Extraordinary Session of 2005. Act 8 of the First Extraordinary Session of 2005 expanded the membership, duties and responsibilities of CPRA and charged the new authority to develop and implement a comprehensive coastal protection plan, consisting of a master plan (revised every five years) and annual plans. CPRA’s mandate is to develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive coastal protection and restoration master plan. Suggested Citation: Zhao, H., Atkinson, J., and Roberts, H.

THE VIEWS AND CONCLUSIONS EXPRESSED HEREIN ARE THOSE OF THE AUTHOR(S) AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Exchanges with the sea are an important feature of the hydrography of an estuary. For San Antonio Bay, the principal exchanges occur through the Pass Cavallo complex (including the Matagorda Entrance Channel) and through Aransas Pass. The closest inlet to the bay, however, is Cedar Bayou, which separates Matagorda Island and San Jose Island. When open, Cedar Bayou is an effective passage for migratory organisms, so analysis of long-term organism abundance data requires knowledge of the state of the pass. Cedar Bayou has existed as a channel crossing the barrier island for nearly 2500 years. Authoritative surveys establish that its gross physiographic features, notably its NNE-SSW trend across the island and the washover fan to its west, have not substantially changed since before the Civil War. This project constructed a chronology for Cedar Bayou for 1900-2009.

  • A Chronology of Notable Weather Events by Douglas V. Hoyt

    A Chronology of Notable Weather Events by Douglas V. Hoyt Edition of 8/4/2011 243 A. D. An inundation of the sea in Lincolnshire laid under water many thousands of acres (Camden). 353 Flood in Cheshire in which 3000 people died along with thousands of cattle (Hayden). 402 Euxine Sea frozen over for 20 days (Hayden) 500 The Vandals from Poland held Western Africa, the Diocese of Africa, Visigoth (Western Goth) from Scandia held Spain, Ostrogoth (Eastern Goth) from Scandia held Italy, Germanic-Franks from Scandia held Gaul, Burgundians held Rhone river, and Celts, Germanic-Anglo-Saxon held the diocese of England. The massive migration of the Mongols, the Huns, Goth, Slav-Bulgars, and Avars westward is because of adverse weather conditions driving them from their lands . The Germanic-Danes inhabited the Danish Islands, Schonen, and later Jutland. St. Brendan (521-527) in his voyage to the northwest suggests the Celts of Ireland discovered America about this time. The Polynesian reached Hawaii and established agricultural settlements. These people had traveled 2500 miles from Island to Island. It is inconceivable that these peoples didn't reach America in the past 500 years. The Polynesians colonized Hawaii, Easter Island, and Madagascar by 500 A.D. 507 Men from Tsinngan, China report being blown across the Great Sea East to a people who speak a strange language. 508 In England, the rivers were frozen for more than two months (including Thames?). Possible severe winter. Rivers frozen for two months.
