| Summary |
This encyclopedia approaches coral reefs from an earth science perspective, concentrating especially on modern reefs. The entries condense the large amount of work carried out since Charles Darwin first attempted to understand reef evolution. It provides comprehensive access to the most up-to-date research on the structure, form and processes operating on Quaternary coral reefs |
