4.27 GPR pr<strong>of</strong>ile across St. Vincent Isl<strong>and</strong>. Gulf <strong>of</strong> Mexico (south) is to<br />
<strong>the</strong> left side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> figure. Vertical <strong>and</strong> horizontal scales are in meters.<br />
The red vertical lines delineate <strong>the</strong> low areas between individual beach<br />
ridges. The blue lines represent <strong>the</strong> trend <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> crossbeds within each<br />
beach ridge.............................................................................................................................102<br />
4.28 Close-up <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> section <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 100 MHz GPR survey that covered site<br />

4.31 Relative age versus suite kurtosis. Note: Relative age is unitless.<br />
Ridge sets were assigned numbers from 1 to 13 with <strong>the</strong> youngest<br />
represented by “1” <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> oldest represented by “13” .........................................................106<br />
4.32 Suite mean vs. suite skewness .......................................................................................107<br />

4.36 Grain size characteristics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>s that rim <strong>the</strong> Apalachicola<br />
River mouth. The numbers from 1 to 9 correspond to <strong>the</strong> relative<br />
locations plotted in Figures 4.37 to 4.39. (Source: Balsillie, 1995).......................................111<br />
4.37 Location relative to <strong>the</strong> Apalachicola River mouth versus mean grain<br />
size. Note: Numbers shown on <strong>the</strong> x-axis correspond to <strong>the</strong> numbered<br />
locations in Figure 4.36. (Data source: Balsillie, 1995) ........................................................112<br />
