ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the many people who contributed to this study. First, I thank my advisor Dr. Joseph Donoghue for his continuous support in the PhD program. He was always available to provide advice. Without his encouragement and guidance, I could not have finished this dissertation. Many thanks to the late Jim Balsillie, of the Florida Geological Survey, and Dr. Frank Stapor, of Tennessee Tech University, for their field assistance and for their useful input throughout the course of this project. Thanks to Dr. Stephen Kish for assistance with GPS work and data handling and to Jim Sparr from the Florida Geological Survey, for running several GPR surveys on the island and processing the data. I’d like to acknowledge my colleagues from the FDEP, Tom Watters, Bill Bordner and Guy Weeks, for taking time out of their busy work schedules to survey several of my sample sites. I am grateful to the Florida Geologic Survey for allowing me to use their vibracore equipment, core cutting facilities and GPR equipment. Matt Curren, from the FSU Antarctic Research Facility, allowed me to use the darkroom to prepare my samples and provided storage space for my numerous cores in the Antarctic Research Facility. Thanks also, to George and Fong Brooke, of the University of Georgia for their assistance with analyzing the luminescence data. I am very grateful for the cooperation and interest of the staff at the St. Vincent Island National Wildlife Refuge. A special thanks goes to Dale Shiver for assistance with the fieldwork, as well as to Monica Harris and Thom Lewis. I am also indebted to Aaron Lower, Jonathan Faulkner, Tami Karl, Anthony Priestas, Jennifer Sliko and Alan Willet for helping with fieldwork despite the long days, heat and bugs. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for listening to my complaints and frustrations and for supporting me. Without them, I could not have accomplished this project. iii
