- Paleotempestology on the South Carolina Coast
Study investigating the sedimentary record of coastal environments to determine the frequency of prehistoric hurricanes and hence resolve future coastal flooding due to intense hurricane events. Conducted by Global Paleoenvironments Group, University of South Carolina, with research objectives, site locations, hurricane templates, and more.
