Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

The 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.

Fisher Behavior While Illegally Fishing for Atlantic Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara, Epinephelinae) on the Amazon Continental Shelf, Brazil

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 1-13, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In 2002, the Brazilian government banned fishing for Goliath grouper, Epinephelus itajara (Lichtenstein, 1822), through 2007. This grouper was the first fish species targeted by a specific law in Brazilian environmental legislation. Grouper stocks showed no signs of recovery, so the ban was renewed multiple times since 2007. Official estimates

Abundance, patterns, and taxa associations of anthropogenic marine debris on reefs in the middle Florida Keys

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Florida Keys reef tract has rapidly shifted from a structurally complex, hard coral-dominated reef to a less rugose, soft coral-dominated reef. This transition has been facilitated by persistent anthropogenic stressors including recreational and ...

Fine‐scale structure among mesophotic populations of the great star coral Montastraea cavernosa revealed by SNP genotyping

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Mesophotic reefs (30‐150 m) have been proposed as potential refugia that facilitate the recovery of degraded shallow reefs following acute disturbances such as coral bleaching and disease.

Low Florida coral calcification rates in the Plio-Pleistocene [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
In geological outcrops and drill cores from reef frameworks, the skeletons of scleractinian corals are usually leached and more or less completely transformed into sparry calcite because the highly porous skeletons formed of metastable aragonite (CaCO3 ...

Coral Reef Protection May Help Avert Risks to People, Property, and Economic Activity Caused by Projected Reef Degradation

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Degradation of coral reefs over the past several decades has caused regional‐scale erosion of the shallow seafloor that serves as a protective barrier against coastal hazards along southeast Florida, USA. How future change in coral reefs may affect coastal flooding, however, has been less attended than other factors contributing to increasing ...

Apparently Seasonal Variations of the Seawater Sr/Ca Ratio Across the Florida Keys Reef Tract

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
A 4‐year time‐series of surface seawater Sr/Ca ratios was assembled across a section of the Florida Keys Reef Tract, in order to uncover any variability that might explain previously reported anomalies in regional calibrations of the coral aragonite Sr ...

Dominant role of benthic photosynthesis for the metabolism of carbonate sands in a subtropical inner shelf

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3621-3633, December 2025.
Abstract Carbonate coral sands are an integral part of the carbon and nutrient cycles in subtropical and tropical coastal environments. Recent studies indicate that nearshore carbonate sands may be hotspots for organic matter production and respiration, but the processes and their controls are poorly understood due to a lack of noninvasive in situ ...

Bahaman patch reefs: Numerous and neglected

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1311-1328, November 2025.
Abstract Phanerozoic patch reefs are extensively studied because they are abundant and are potential reservoirs for valuable fluids. In contrast, geologic studies of modern reefs have largely focused on platform margins, leaving patch reefs comparatively neglected. What conditions favour patch‐reef development?

Fate of wastewater nitrogen upon injection into a coastal saline groundwater system, Florida Keys, USA

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1497-1516, November 2025.
Despite advanced wastewater treatment, dilution by rainwater and mixing, and microbial modification, nitrogen nutrients derived from shallowly injected wastewater are detected in nearshore waters in the Florida Keys. Abstract Injection of treated wastewater into the shallow subsurface on islands and along coastlines is a common practice in areas like ...
