It has been known since Rhodes Fairbridge's first attempt to establish a global pattern of
Holocene sea-level change by combining evidence from Western Australia and from sites in …

A significant body of new information about the development of coral reefs during the last 23
ka has been generated in the last three decades. In the Indo-Pacific province, structures …

Various sea-level curves have been proposed for the coast of China in the past two
decades. These sea-level curves indicate a complex history of Holocene sea level, and so …

Coral reef islands are among the most vulnerable environments on Earth to climate change
because they are low lying and largely constructed from unconsolidated sediments that can …

Australian reef flats on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands atoll, Indian Ocean; Warraber Reef,
Torres Strait; and Lady Elliot Island, Great Barrier Reef vary greatly in morphology (width …

Modern atoll reefs began to grow after rising postglacial eustatic sea level overtopped
degraded carbonate platforms that had been exposed as subaerial limestone plateaus …

A field experiment was conducted at Warraber Island, Torres Strait, Australia to investigate
spatial and temporal variations in wave characteristics and energy across a mesotidal coral …

Variable regional timing of the mid-Holocene hydro-isostatic highstand in tropical Pacific sea
level is reflected by systematic differences in calibrated radiocarbon ages (n= 226) for …

Understanding the history of relative Holocene sea levels on Pacific islands is important for
constraining fundamental geodynamic theories, interpreting the environments of early …

Fringing reefs are generally not simple veneers of coral growth along tropical shorelines.
Extensive research over the past few decades, based on radiocarbon dating of Holocene …
