Late Pleistocene Littoral Deposits in the Deming Sand at Bellingham Bay, Washington, and Their Implications for Relative Sea Level Changes
No full textRecent mass wasting of sea cliffs along Bellingham Bay in Northwest Washington has exposed late Pleistocene littoral deposits in the Deming sand, which is underlain by Kulshan glaciomarine drift (gmd) and overlain by Bellingham glaciomarine drift (Easterbrook 1963). Marine shells in the Kulshan gmd were dated at 12,210 ± 80 14C-yrs B. P. and marine shells in the Deming sand were dated at 11,760 ± 85 and 11,685 ± 85 14C-yrs B. P. Marine shells in the Bellingham gmd were dated at 12,150 + 210 14C-yrs B. P.
Fossiliferous Kulshan glaciomarine drift is overlain by 11.5 m of well-sorted, medium-grained, horizontally bedded and cross-bedded sand and sandy gravel with two silt and clay interbeds 0.57 m and 0.88 m thick. Evidence for a littoral environment includes (1) many cross-bedded, pebbly-sand beds containing abundant, abraded shells, abraded worm tubes, and shell fragments, (2) armored mud balls, (3) thin layers of concentrated garnet/magnetite sand common to beaches and 4) thick, well-indurated silt and clay characteristic of tidal flat deposits. All of these features mirror those in a shallow marine environment undergoing tidal phases and shoreline processes. Fossiliferous Bellingham glaciomarine drift approximately 11 meters thick caps the section.
The exposure of Deming sand between the Kulshan and Bellingham gmds at Bellingham Bay mimics the stratigraphic order at the Everson type locality ca. 45 km to the east, which corroborates Easterbrook\u27s (1963) hypothesis that the Deming sand throughout Whatcom County is fluvial in origin. This relationship plays a central role in the complex history of relative sea level changes. The Deming sand fixes relative sea level at approximately 10-20 m above present sea level, and because the Bellingham and Kulshan gmds occur at present elevations of ~ 100 and 200 m, that means relative sea levels must have fluctuated by at least approximately 100 m from the Kulshan to the Deming, and at least 200 m from the Deming to the Bellingham. Thus, the inference that sedimentation at the Everson type section was solely glacial (Croll, 1980; Dragovitch et al., 1997) with no fluctuations of local relative sea level is challenged
Development of a Hydrodynamic and Transport model of Bellingham Bay in Support of Nearshore Habitat Restoration
No full textIn this study, a hydrodynamic model based on the unstructured-grid finite volume coastal ocean model (FVCOM) was developed for Bellingham Bay, Washington. The model simulates water surface elevation, velocity, temperature, and salinity in a three-dimensional domain that covers the entire Bellingham Bay and adjacent water bodies, including Lummi Bay, Samish Bay, Padilla Bay, and Rosario Strait. The model was developed using Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s high-resolution Puget Sound and Northwest Straits circulation and transport model. A sub-model grid for Bellingham Bay and adjacent coastal waters was extracted from the Puget Sound model and refined in Bellingham Bay using bathymetric light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and river channel cross-section data. The model uses tides, river inflows, and meteorological inputs to predict water surface elevations, currents, salinity, and temperature. A tidal open boundary condition was specified using standard National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predictions. Temperature and salinity open boundary conditions were specified based on observed data. Meteorological forcing (wind, solar radiation, and net surface heat flux) was obtained from NOAA real observations and National Center for Environmental Prediction North American Regional Analysis outputs. The model was run in parallel with 48 cores using a time step of 2.5 seconds. It took 18 hours of cpu time to complete 26 days of simulation. The model was calibrated with oceanographic field data for the period of 6/1/2009 to 6/26/2009. These data were collected specifically for the purpose of model development and calibration. They include time series of water-surface elevation, currents, temperature, and salinity as well as temperature and salinity profiles during instrument deployment and retrieval. Comparisons between model predictions and field observations show an overall reasonable agreement in both temporal and spatial scales. Comparisons of root mean square error values for surface elevation, velocity, temperature, and salinity time series are 0.11 m, 0.10 m/s, 1.28oC, and 1.91 ppt, respectively. The model was able to reproduce the salinity and temperature stratifications inside Bellingham Bay. Wetting and drying processes in tidal flats in Bellingham Bay, Samish Bay, and Padilla Bay were also successfully simulated. Both model results and observed data indicated that water surface elevations inside Bellingham Bay are highly correlated to tides. Circulation inside the bay is weak and complex and is affected by various forcing mechanisms, including tides, winds, freshwater inflows, and other local forcing factors. The Bellingham Bay model solution was successfully linked to the NOAA oil spill trajectory simulation model “General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment (GNOME).” Overall, the Bellingham Bay model has been calibrated reasonably well and can be used to provide detailed hydrodynamic information in the bay and adjacent water bodies. While there is room for further improvement with more available data, the calibrated hydrodynamic model provides useful hydrodynamic information in Bellingham Bay and can be used to support sediment transport and water quality modeling as well as assist in the design of nearshore restoration scenarios

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
