DOI: 10.1016/j.margeo.2021.106500
Abstract: Abstract In French Polynesia, low-lying, reef islands, composed of unconsolidated skeletal material rest on cemented conglomerate platforms. These are regarded as mainly generated by storm activity during the mid-late Holocene. Field observations and coral sampling… read more here.
