Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Polygonal tepee structures of Arabia

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Tepee structures on Sheybarah Island form polygonal microbial cemented crusts in the intertidal. Radiocarbon dating suggests they formed in the Holocene and reflect minor sea‐level changes, highlighting their value as palaeoenvironmental indicators. Satellite surveys identified 126 polygonal features, including coral reefs that may have developed on ...

Taking machine learning with a grain of sand: Sediment Analysis Neural‐network Data‐engine (SAND‐e) reveals sedimentological differences between turbid and clear‐water reefs

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Using machine learning, researchers can count and crudely identify sand grains from coral reefs automatically. This will allow us to generate larger datasets to answer sedimentological questions. Abstract Sediment is an important facet of sand cay reefs as it is responsible for reef accretion and island formation, with shifts in the proportions of ...
