Reef islands have continually adjusted to environmental change over the past two millennia

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: P. S. Kench from the Reconstructing island change This study examines the development and spatial dynamics of the island at three distinct temporal scalesMillennial-scale island formation. The evolutionary dynamics of the island in the late Holocene are examined based on the island morphology and sedimentary structure, which is temporally constrained by radiometric dating. The topography of Kandahalagalaa reef platform from reef edge to island surface was surveyed along four transects (Supplementary Fig., a). The island morphology was characterised based on six survey transects (Supplementary Fig., a). All surveys were conducted using a laser level, and . . .
