1 South Florida climate over the last 5, years inferences from paleoecological studies Colin Saunders South Florida Water Management District Climate Change Workshop, October 3, 29
2 Roadmap Paleo-climate context global climate drivers southeastern US climate circum-caribbean climate S. Florida paleoecological studies freshwater Everglades and elsewhere Summary consensus discrepancies uncertainties, data gaps
3 Inferring climate from paleoecological data Ecosystem & Landscape Development (peat accumulation, nutrient cycling) Climate (paleo) Flora and fauna Groundwater Dynamics (long term climate, sea level) Coastal transgression (sea level & salinity)
4 Sea level variation 15 kya to present Age (kya) ka Depth below M.S.L. (meters) since ~15kya, sea-level has risen 9 meters fastest rise from 7kya (6 m) to 3 kya (1 m) most evidence points to gradual rise vs mid-holocene highstand ~6-5 kya rising sea-level raises groundwater, slows overland flow ( masks droughts) Gleason, Environments of South Florida Present and Past II. Miami Geol. Soc.
