Organized by D. R. Stoddart and Sir Maurice Yonge, F.R.S.
The Great Barrier Reef of Australia is the longest and one of the most diverse barrier reefs in the World. Reconnoitred by James Cook in 1770 and the subject of now classic studies by the Great Barrier Reef Expedition of 1928-29, it yet remains one of the least known of all coral reef areas.
There have been great advances in both concepts and methods applied to reef study since 1950. The Royal Society and Universities of Queensland Expedition to the northern Great Barrier Reef in 1973 was organized to bring these concepts and methods to bear on some of the more remote and least studied stretches of the Reef. Comprehensive investigations with four chartered vessels and support from the Royal Australian Navy concentrated on the fundamental problem of the evolution of the present surface features of the reefs in the period since the sea reached its present level following the last glaciation. Methods used included boomer, sparker and sidescan sonar techniques, shallow drilling, analysis of surface sediments, petrographic studies of limestones, and detailed morphological analysis of islands and other surface features.
Radiocarbon dating formed a major component of the study. Dates are reported in detail, together with an account of the rigorous procedures used to check all samples before dating. Perhaps no other reef area in the World has such a dense network of reliable dates as the study areas of the northern Great Barrier Reef.
The picture revealed of the development of the reefs in the last six thousand years is one of great complexity. It is shown that surface reef features are related to sea level in highly variable ways, at least in macro-tidal areas, and in consequence it is not possible to reconstruct sea level curves simply by plotting age and elevation of radiometrically dated samples without detailed knowledge of the relation of the samples to sea level at the times of their formation. By implication, and in the light of these findings, most previous sea level curves will need to be critically reassessed. The Expedition has further shown that reef development results from an intricate network of positive and negative feedback linkages in carbonate production and sedimentation, in a manner very different to the unilinear evolution often postulated.
This is the first detailed modern investigation of the greatest reef in the World; its results have implications for the study of coral reefs everywhere, as well as suggesting important new research areas on the Great Barrier Reef itself.
