As part of the reef-composition survey of Palau (7°30' N, 134°30' E) and Yap (9°32' N, 138°7' E), the rates of carbonate flux were estimated using rates of accretion and biological erosion. The initial model output containing estimates of carbonate production and erosion was used in subsequent R scripts and models.
This model and results were published in van Woesik and Cacciapaglia, 2018.
