Recent deposition of sand layers in the upper sediments \r\nof the pond was found to be contemporaneous with significant, \r\nhistoric storm surges at the site modeled using SLOSH and the \r\nBest Track, post-1851 A.D. dataset. Using the historic portion \r\nof the record for calibration, paleohurricane deposits were \r\nidentified by sand content and dated using radiocarbon-based \r\nage models.  Marine-indicative foraminifera, some originating \r\nat least 5 km offshore, were present in several modern and\r\nancient storm deposits. The presence and long-term preservation \r\nof offshore foraminifera suggest that this site and others like it \r\nmay yield promising microfossil-based paleohurricane reconstructions \r\nin the future. Due to the sub-decadal (~7 years) resolution of the \r\nrecord and the site's high susceptibility to hurricane-generated\r\nstorm surges, the average, local frequency of recorded events, \r\napproximately 3.9 storms per century, is greater than that of \r\npreviously published paleohurricane records from the region. \r\nThe high incidence of recorded events permitted a time series \r\nof local hurricane frequency during the last five millennia \r\nto be constructed.  Variability in the frequency of the largest \r\nstorm layers was found to be greater than what would likely occur\r\nby chance alone, with intervals of both anomalously high and low \r\nstorm frequency identified. However, the rate at which smaller \r\nlayers were deposited was relatively constant over the last five \r\nmillennia. This may suggest that significant variability in \r\nhurricane frequency has occurred only in the highest magnitude \r\nevents.  The frequency of high magnitude events peaked near 6 \r\nstorms per century between 2800 and 2300 years ago. High magnitude \r\nevents were relatively rare with about 0–3 storms per century \r\noccurring between 1900 and 1600 years ago and between 400 and 150 \r\nyears ago. A marked decline in the number of large storm deposits, \r\nwhich began around 600 years ago, has persisted through present \r\nwith below average frequency over the last 150 years when compared \r\nto the preceding five millennia.\r\n","author":null,"citation":"Lane, P., J.P.
