During the Miocene, several reefs formed in the Beikang Basin, South China Sea, which may be potential targets for hydrocarbon exploration. This is due to the environment that developed as a result of the collision, splitting, and splicing of the Nansha ...

Groundwater discharge from high tropical islands can have a significant influence on the biochemistry of reef ecosystems. Recent studies have suggested that a portion of groundwater may underflow the reefs to be discharged, either through the reef flat o...

Dredging materials from reef flats have become an important source of sand and aggregates for meeting the infrastructure needs of coral-lined shores in subtropical and tropical regions, especially for low-lying atoll islands. Dredging at the reef flats c...

The South Pacific region is characterised by steep shelves and fringing coral reef islands. The lack of wide continental shelves that can dissipate waves makes Pacific Island countries vulnerable to large waves that can enhance extreme total water levels...

Calcareous sand is a special marine soil rich in calcium carbonate minerals, characterized by brittle particles. It is, therefore, widely used as a filling material in the construction of islands and reefs. In this study, a series of cyclic tri-axial tes...

As a unique landform in the island and reef area, the newborn sandbank is not only the initial stage of island development, but also has a rapid evolution and a complex dynamic mechanism. However, the dynamic geomorphology mechanism of the newborn sandba...

In this paper, we present the highest-resolution-available (10 m) national map of the mangrove ecosystems of Belize. These important ecosystems are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change, support both marine and terrestrial biodiv...
