title = "Drowned coastal features of the Rowley Shelf (NW Australia): Delving into the processes controlling the morphology and sediment variability of a tropical carbonate-dominated continental shelf",
abstract = "The thesis investigates an area of 350,000 km2 along the tropical, carbonate-dominated, North WestShelf of Australia. The study is based on the integration and interpretation of high-resolutionbathymetry, high-resolution seismic data and geotechnical data, that were collected as part of theproject. The results indicate that the morphology of the modern continental shelf and the distributionof coral reefs are controlled by the distribution of now submerged palaeoshorelines that have beenpreserved through early cementation. The thesis then discusses how these results can be used tobetter understand carbonate environments around the globe and to guide offshore engineering.",
