The Carboniferous reefs in China
Journal of Palaeogeography, 2012 The Carboniferous period was a unique period for reef developments during the Late Paleozoic; however, in past years, studies dealing with the Carboniferous reefs in China were very rare.

Postglacial Fringing-Reef to Barrier-Reef conversion on Tahiti links Darwin's reef types [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 AbstractIn 1842 Charles Darwin claimed that vertical growth on a subsiding foundation caused fringing reefs to transform into barrier reefs then atolls. Yet historically no transition between reef types has been discovered and they are widely considered to develop independently from antecedent foundations during glacio-eustatic sea-level rise.

The earliest known stromatoporoid and its contribution to reef construction [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Stromatoporoid-type hypercalcified sponges are known to have contributed to the global reef system since the late Middle Ordovician until their major disappearance in the latest Devonian.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Atoll islands’ alongshore sediment transport gradients depend on how island and reef morphology affect incident wave energy. It is unclear, though, how potential atoll morphologic configurations influence shoreline erosion and/or accretion patterns, and ...
