Holocene tropical reef accretion and lagoon sedimentation: A quantitative approach to the influence of sea‐level rise, climate and subsidence (Belize, Maldives, French Polynesia)

Abstract Accretion rates of Holocene tropical coral reefs in three areas in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans have been quantified in 79 dated core sections in 34 reef cores from Belize, the Maldives and French Polynesia. Holocene vertical reef accretion rate averages 5.05 m/kyr and has decrea...
