Abstract
Data from investigations at One Tree Reef and from other sources suggest that post-glacial coral reefs in the Great Barrier Reef probably date from only about 9,000 years ago. They are likely to have grown on the elevated parts of an irregular karst surface, their general morphology having been largely determined by the shape and depth of this surface. Growth has been dominantly vertical because of the rapid sea-level rise, with lateral modification being quite recent and dominantly in a leeward direction.
