Ecological solutions to reef degradation: optimizing coral reef restoration in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Reef restoration activities have proliferated in response to the need to mitigate coral declines and recover lost reef structure, function, and ecosystem services.

Wetlands as environments of early human occupation: A new classification for freshwater palaeowetlands

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
A new classification for inland freshwater palaeowetlands to be used in the field or core laboratory by sedimentologists, providing examples from the Guadix Basin (southern Spain). Abstract Present wetlands have proven to be delicate, biodiverse ecosystems, that are natural sinks for CO2 and act as good indicators for climate changes.

Fifty years of research on the Joulters ooid sandbody—Impact on carbonate sedimentology and diagenesis and lessons learned from an invaluable analogue

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
The Joulters ooid sandbody of northern Great Bahama Bank is a vast expanse of muddy ooid sands partly rimmed by clean ooid sands and formed into a relatively thick layer of significant extent. Knowledge of the development of depositional and diagenetic patterns in the Joulters example has forwarded our general understanding of carbonate sedimentology ...

Sedimentary characteristics and influencing factors of steep slope platform-margin reefs: A case study of Changxing Formation in Kaijiang-Liangping Trough in northeastern Sichuan Basin

open access: yesYouqi dizhi yu caishoulu
Gentle and steep slope platform-margin reefs are well-developed in the Changxing Formation in the Kaijiang-Liangping Trough in the northeast Sichuan Basin. At present, there is less research on the sedimentary structure and evolution model of steep slope

Bleaching drives collapse in reef carbonate budgets and reef growth potential on southern Maldives reefs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Sea-surface temperature (SST) warming events, which are projected to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change, represent major threats to coral reefs.

Bahaman patch reefs: Numerous and neglected

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
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?
