This IAS Special Publication #27 contains 17 of the papers
presented at the IAS International Workshop on Reefs and Carbonate
platforms in the Pacific and Indian oceans held in Sydney (July
1995). This is the first book to summarize the current state of
knowledge about reefs and carbonate platforms in these oceans,
where there is a great diversity of carbonate systems in various
tectonic settings. Papers concern both processes operating in reefs
and carbonate platforms and case histories (platform and oceanic
reef case histories). Case histories range from the Lower
Cretaceous to modern reefs and most fossil carbonate platforms
concern outcomes from recent ODP legs in the Pacific. The book
covers a broad spectrum of disciplines related to carbonate
geology: sedimentology, geochemistry, geophysics, reef ecology and
modeling.
