Modern and Pleistocene Beach Systems in Southeastern Jamaica

The study involves a determination of the architecture of the modern beach systems in relation to active drainage systems; investigate the important processes which form specific facies in the modern environment; determine the formation and preservation potential of modern facies and relate these to modern processes; determine the stratigraphy of sections through Plio-Pleistocene beach systems; and eventually use the information collected on the modern and Plio-Pleistocene systems to generate a model in order to determine coastline behaviour for future time periods
