This proposal seeks funds for an exploratory operation to obtain transects of cores from three coastal ponds on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. These cores will taken with a vibracorer that will allow penetration of sand and coral rubble layers. The cores will then be examined for sedimentological evidence, including coarse layers, of past hurricane strikes on the island, and pertinent layers will be dated by radiocarbon methods. The results will be compared with an independent but complimentary study of geochemical signals of past hurricanes in offshore corals around the island.

这项提案寻求资金，用于一项勘探作业，以便从美属维尔京群岛圣克鲁瓦的三个沿海池塘中获取样芯。这些岩心将采用振动钻，以穿透沙子和珊瑚碎石层。然后将检查岩心，以寻找沉积学证据，包括过去飓风袭击该岛的粗糙层，并将通过放射性碳方法确定相关层的年代。研究结果将与一项独立但互补的研究进行比较，该研究是对该岛周围近海珊瑚中过去飓风的地球化学信号进行的。
