This IAS Special Publication 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 are a great diversity of carbonate systems in various tectonic settings.

This IAS Special Publication 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 are 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 up to modern reefs and most concern outcomes from recent ODP legs in the Pacific. The volume covers a broad spectrum of disciplines related to carbonate geology: sedimentology, geochemistry, geophysics, reef ecology, and modelling.
G. F. Camoin and P. J. Davies are the authors of Reefs and Carbonate Platforms in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, published by Wiley.
