Does depth divide? Variable genetic connectivity patterns among shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa coral populations across the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We assessed the population genetic connectivity of shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa corals using a 2bRAD sequencing approach across the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean. We found that there was generally significant genetic structuring between shallow and mesophotic depth zones and between the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean ...

Benthic species assemblages change through a freshwater cavern-type cenote in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico [PDF]
Subterranean Biology, 2022 We studied benthic assemblages through X-Batún, a continental freshwater cenote and its associated submerged cave located in San Antonio Mulix (Yucatán, Mexico). Using cave diving techniques, we collected sediment samples at four zones of the system.

Hazard assessment and hydrodynamic, morphodynamic, and hydrological response to Hurricane Gamma and Hurricane Delta on the northern Yucatán Peninsula [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Barrier islands in tropical regions are prone to coastal flooding and erosion during hurricane events. The Yucatán coast, characterized by karstic geology and the presence of barrier islands, was impacted by Hurricane Gamma and Hurricane Delta in October

Índice de resiliencia urbana costera para el manejo de residuos sólidos urbanos
Investigación y Ciencia de la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, 2021 Los huracanes representan la mayor amenaza de las comunidades costeras. Pueden convertir ciudades enteras en escombros y dejar sus calles cubiertas de basura, animales muertos y desechos tóxicos. El objetivo principal fue determinar el grado de resiliencia en el manejo de los Residuos Sólidos Urbanos (RSU) de la ciudad costera de Tulum, Quintana Roo ...

The role of the reef–dune system in coastal protection in Puerto Morelos (Mexico) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Reefs and sand dunes are critical morphological features providing natural coastal protection. Reefs dissipate around 90 % of the incident wave energy through wave breaking, whereas sand dunes provide the final natural barrier against coastal flooding.

Human Impact on the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Beach Resilience on the Northwestern Yucatan Coast
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The northern Yucatan peninsula is prone to coastal flooding and erosion owing to its low-land elevation and high exposure to storms. Therefore, it is important to assess the capability of the beach-dune system to resist, recover, and adapt from storms in

Caribbean Marine Heatwaves, Marine Cold Spells, and Co‐Occurrence of Bleaching Events
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 128, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) and Cold Spells (marine cold spells (MCSs)) are events of extreme positive and negative temperature anomalies, that last 5 days or longer. These events have been diagnosed across oceans from sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and recognized to affect ecosystems' health worldwide.

Assessment of coastal flooding and associated hydrodynamic processes on the south-eastern coast of Mexico, during Central American cold surge events [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Coastal flooding in the northern Yucatán Peninsula is mainly associated with storm surge events triggered by high-pressure cold front systems. This study evaluates the hydrodynamic processes of the Chelem lagoon, Mexico and the flooding threat from ...

Pearls before swine flu: Crisis and the politics of resilience in Cabo Pulmo, BCS, Mexico
American Anthropologist, Volume 125, Issue 3, Page 532-545, September 2023., 2023 Abstract This article employs a long‐term historical and anthropological perspective to examine questions of resilience through a case study of Cabo Pulmo, BCS, Mexico. Using the recent COVID‐19 crisis as a starting point, this article discusses the crises, shocks, booms, and busts that have affected and shaped the people, landscapes, and ecologies of ...
