Funding Program(s): Holocene Reef Geology (GX.22.MN00.E3R90.00)
Data Source Information: USGS core archive - Reich and others, 2009; http://olga.er.usgs.gov/coreviewer/
Information Specialist(s): Lauren Toth
Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Imagery: Photo
Start Date: 1976-01-01
End Date: 2018-02-15
Equipment Used: Core Barrels, Digital Camera
Information to be Derived: Data were obtained in order to develop a comprehensive reconstruction of the development of the coral reefs of the Florida Keys reef tract during the Holocene. The data were used to reconstruct Holocene reef thickness, rates of reef accretion, and the timing of reef senescence.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Compiled all available data on the 70 core records that recovered Holocene reef framework, including radiometric ages (radiocarbon and U-series) and metadata on the cores and collection sites. We also produced high-resolution core photographs and descriptive core logs of each of the cores.
