GEOS856: Coral Reef Environments |
The unit involves in-depth studies of coral reefs: the process of formation, large and small scale controls, reef accretion, response to global warming and the changing patterns of reef dynamics/carbonate buildups through time. Special attention will be paid to biodiversity of a reef, symbiosis, recruitment, the effects of bioturbation and bioerosion, the interaction of the biota of the reef, and management of reefs. This unit does not count for credit with GEOS424. Students who have completed GEOS428 will be undertaking individual projects.
