Bald Point, FL: Hurricane Frequency and Storm Surge Archives from Sinkholes


Overview: NCALM Seed. PI: Phillip Lane, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The survey area consists of a 44.75 square kilometer area covering a portion of Bald Point State Park, Florida. The data were collected to examine a 4,500-year record of hurricane frequency and storm surge magnitude archived in North Florida Sinkholes. Data collection occurred on September 4, 2010.
