Sediment supply dampens the erosive effects of sea-level rise on reef islands
Abstract Large uncertainty surrounds the future physical stability of low-lying coral reef islands due to a limited understanding of the geomorphic response of islands to changing environmental conditions. Physical and numerical modelling efforts have improved understanding of the modes and styles o...
