is likely that tide-infl uenced and wave-infl uenced
systems respond to storms differently, it still
remains that there is precious little direct obser-
vational data providing examples of the impact
of storms of an extent comparable to those inter-
preted from the geological record. This work
highlights the need to understand basic phys-
ical processes behind sedimentation in carbonate
systems and integrate this knowledge to develop
new interpretations of ancient successions.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We are grateful to Robert Ginsburg, for his
support and always keen insights. Numerous indi-
viduals have offered support and insights during
fi eld work and fi eld trips to the area, including:
Barry Albury, Scott Ritter, Kristine Sanchez,
Lowell Waite and participants in Comparative
Sedimentology Laboratory and Pioneer Natural
Resources fi eld trips to the area. Jacobus van de
Kreeke was an invaluable resource for the model-
ling section of this work, and Gregor Eberli pro-
vided thorough reviews which greatly enhanced
the logic and clarity of this paper. Peter Burgess,
Peter Winefi eld, and Vic Hitchings provided sup-
port in the fi nal throws of the project. Brian Haus
graciously provided use of the ADCP, and pro-
vided training in its use. DigitalGlobe provided
some of the imagery for this report. Thanks to
Roland Albury and the Department of Fisheries
of The Bahamas for permission to study in the
area, and to Miguel McKinney for facilitating
permits. The research was supported in part by the
contributors to the Comparative Sedimentology
Laboratory, the Center for Southeastern Tropical
Advanced Remote Sensing (CSTARS) at University
of Miami, the National Science Foundation (Grant
# EAR-0418815) and the Army Research Offi ce
(Grant # W911NF0510005).
