Demise of reef-Xat carbonate accumulation with late Holocene sea-level fall: evidence from Molokai, Hawaii

Modern sediment is present as a mobile surface veneer but is not trapped within the reef framework. This Wnding is consistent with the arrest of deposition at the end of the mid-Holocene highstand, known locally as th...
