The evolution of reefs reflects changes triggered by evolutionary innovations and variations in global and regional controls at different scales. The prime fossil record of Phanerozoic reefs offers the opportunity to trace these patterns through space and time. "Phanerozoic Reef Patterns" presents a comprehensive and up-to-date review on the history of reef building in the last 540 million years. A selection of internationally respected reef specialists presents a database on ancient reefs that is hardly available for any other ecosystem. The thoroughly documented patterns are analyzed with respect to global change, whose impact on living reefs is intensely discussed today. But also the economic importance of ancient reefs and possible controls on reefal reservoir development are stressed in this book. All too often clear and simple answers have been offered to the many problems and apparent paradoxes of reef development. "Phanerozoic Reef Patterns" stands out from recent reviews on reef evolution by its careful qualitative and quantitative approach based on a comprehensive and multifaceted databank, by the strong focus on data, by a complete and unified coverage of the Phanerozoic from the Early Cambrian to the late Neogene, by emphasizing paleogeographic reef distributions presented on 32 newly developed color maps, and by a detailed index that makes the book a valuable research tool. The volume has been designed for graduate students and professionals in a wide range of subjects, for example: historical geologists, economic geologists, paleontologists, climatologists, sedimentologists, paleogeographers, marine biologists, and ecosystem managers <http://www.sepm.org/store/storehome.htm> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit IAGI Website: http://iagi.or.id IAGI-net Archive 1: http://www.mail-archive.com/iagi-net%40iagi.or.id/ IAGI-net Archive 2: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iagi ===================================================================== Indonesian Association of Geologists [IAGI] - 31st Annual Convention September 30 - October2, 2002 - Shangri La Hotel, SURABAYA
