Antecedent topography is a primary control over the total thickness of the Holocene section. Preservation of back-barrier muddy sediments on the inner shelf reduces the sand source potential in the nearshore region. Storm reworking of transgressive lag deposits removing fine-grained constituents provides sediment units of the highest sand source potential. The interrelation among these factors provides a useful sand source exploration tool.

However, the coastal ocean sea level along the east coast of Florida and coastal regions further north is, to a first order, controlled at the interannual and decadal time scale by the dynamics of North Atlantic circulation and Gulf Stream (GS) flow, Every coastal region has its own distinctive annual sea-level cycle, and longer-term intra- and inter-decadal sea-level oscillations. This paper addresses the influence of the strong Florida coastal ocean sea-level signal on topographic evolution of the shoreface, coastal sediment budgets, and potential for coastal transgression at the decadal time scale.

A paleotemperature record of 450,000 years is inferred. High frequency peaks of the sillcoflagellate genus Dietyocha alternate with intervals made up almost exclusively of the genus Distephanus and lacking Dictyocha. Dictyocha peaks closely correspond with peaks of warm-water foraminifera, and intervals of Distephanus correspond with cooler planktonic foraminiferal assemblages. Silicoflagellate, foraminiferal and calcareous nannofossil trends correspond in most cases, although two importamt discrepancies occur. The potential of the silicoflagellates as Pleistocene paleotemperature indicators has been shown.

Sea level rise continues to have a dramatic effect on developed watersheds and urban estuaries, which are common to this highly populated region. Tropical cyclones contribute to flooding, which impacts coastal roads, homes, farms, and even fresh water supplies. Research is being applied to improve our understanding of the physical processes that connect estuaries and the coastal ocean and better forecast floods. Advances will result in improved marine policies and coastal resilience.
