Tropical environment: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Physical and Human Resources of the Tropics. Calgary, Alberta, International Geographical Union, 1988. 106-111. Co: International Symposium of the Working Group on Tropical Climatology and Human Settlements of the International Geographical Union; Kingston, 4-7, Aug. 1987. Ab: There is evidence of macro-climatic change in at least some parts of the Caribbean region. In keeping with this trend, the land-surface climate of the fall and Hope river basins in Jamaica is manifesting evidence of progressive desiccation and increasing seasonality of precipitation. Xeric anthropogenic environmental pressures are the causative factors in this change towards a lower-yield biotic eco-regime. Water resources are also being adversely affected throughout the basins.

Co: International Symposium of the Working Group on Tropical Climatology and Human Settlements of the International Geographical Union; Kingston, 4-7, Aug. 1987. Ab: The positivism subsumed in studies of natural disasters is gradually being replaced by theories which consider them as part natural and part environmental, societal economic and attitudinal. A revised agenda for dealing with natural hazards and the concomitant disasters must include education on the political and social levels, and the identification of a range of options for dealing with potential disasters. Policy on disaster mitigation must be drawn interactively with potential victims and integrated into the development planning process. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency.
Au: Wadge, Geoffrey; Isaacs, Michael C. Ti: Volcanic hazards from Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat, West Indies. Pub: St. Augustine; University of the West Indies, Seismic 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. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency.

Au: O'Hara, Martin. Ti: Floods, flood damage and flood risk assessment 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.

Au: Wilkinson, Clive R; Cheshire, Anthony C. Ti: Growth rate of Jamaican coral reef sponges after Hurricane Allen. So: Biological Bulletin; 175-9, Aug. 1988. Ab: Growth rate estimates for five coral reef sponges on 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. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

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. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency.

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.

Co: 1st annual national conference on science and technology; Kingston, 27-29, Apr., 1987. 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.

The magnitude and severity of the forestry-related problems require immediate remedial action along with medium-term rehabilitation. This project aims to enable key agencies to carry out remedial and rehabilitative efforts in this sector, mitigate economic losses and lessen environmental degradation. Project outputs will include a detailed damage assessment, a work plan and time schedule for salvage and sanitation activities, fully equipped forest plantations, either salvaged or sanitized and a national Tropical Forestry Action Plan (TFAP) aimed at medium to long-term resource management.
