Atoll islands are often perceived as inevitably lost due to rising sea levels. However, unlike
other islands, atoll islands are dynamic landforms that have evolved, at least historically, to …

Particle settling velocity is a fundamental parameter in sedimentology and engineering, and
has accordingly received much attention in the literature. Grain properties, such as shape …

Coral powder (CP) emerges as an eco-friendly alternative to partially replace cement in
concrete, addressing environmental concerns associated with cement production while …

Large benthic foraminifera are major carbonate components in tropical carbonate platforms,
important carbonate producers, stratigraphic tools and powerful bioindicators (proxies) of …

Turbid coral reefs experience high suspended sediment loads and low-light conditions that
vertically compress the maximum depth of reef growth. Although vertical reef compression is …

Reef islands, elevated only a few meters above sea-level and restricted in area, are not only
confronted with rising sea-levels, but the surrounding reef ecosystems, which are the only …

230Coral reefs provide critical ecological and geomorphic (eg sediment production for reef-
fronted shoreline maintenance) services, which interact in complex and dynamic ways …

The sliding and overturning of unconsolidated rubble by hydrodynamic forcing is expected
to cause physical damage to settled coral recruits and asexual fragments by scouring and …

Planform changes in 184 reef islands in Huvadhoo atoll, Republic of Maldives are quantified
in the context of global environmental change and anthropogenic impacts. Aggregated at …

Parrotfish play a key functional role on coral reefs as external bioerosion agents and
produce large quantities of carbonate sediment as a by-product of grazing on reef surfaces …
