Summary Carbonate platforms and reefs emerge, grow and die in response to intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms forced primarily by tectonics, oceanography, climate, ecology and eustasy. These mechanisms, or controls, create the physical, biological and chemical signals accountable for the myriad of carbonate depositional responses that, together, form the complex depositional systems present in the modern and ancient settings. Extensive research on a wide variety of carbonate platform and reefal systems in the past few decades has taken carbonate research to a new level.
General noteThis volume represents ideas and concepts initially presented in the SEPM special session in Honor of Dr. Wolfgang Schlager at the AAPG-SEPM conference in Calgary, May 2005.
