Calcified macroalgae are distributed in marine habitats from polar to tropical latitudes and
from intertidal shores to the deepest reaches of the euphotic zone. These algae play critical …

The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

SYNOPSIS. Understanding how reefs vary over the present ranges of environmental
conditions is key to understanding how coral reefs will adapt to a changing environment …

Marine carbonate precipitation occurs in three basic modes: abiotic (or quasi-abiotic),
biotically induced, and biotically controlled. On a geologic scale, these precipitation modes …

We distinguish three different stages in the evolution of the Tithonian (Late Jurassic) to
Aptian (Early Cretaceous) northern Tethyan carbonate platform:(1) carbonate production in …

Describing, characterizing and interpreting the nearly infinite variety of carbonate rocks are
conundrums–intricate and difficult problems having only conjectural answers–that have …

Research over the past several decades has clearly demonstrated that changes in the
ocean environment have had major impacts on carbonate systems. Changes in climate …

Stratal patterns and facies architecture develop in response to sediment flux and the
available space for sediment accumulation (accommodation). In siliciclastic systems, these …

Abstract In the East Baghdad oilfield of central Iraq, the Upper Cretaceous Khasib Formation
is the largest producing carbonate reservoir. The basic architecture of the “Khasib …

The evolution of the Early Cretaceous, northern Tethyan carbonate platform was not only
influenced by changes in sea level, detrital influx, and surface water temperature but also by …
