1 IG Working Group REEForm Reef and reef landform responses to environmental and climatic change Report from Research Expedition, Maldives, 29 th June to 13 th July 2011 Participants: hris Perry (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK), Paul Kench (University of uckland, NZ), Scott Smithers (James ook University, ustralia), Hiroya Yamano (National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan), Mick O Leary (Notre ame University, ustralia), Philipp Mandlier (University of uckland) uilding upon the science priority areas identified at the REEForm Working Group meeting in 2010, the first REEForm research expedition took place between 29 th June to 13 th July 2011 in The Maldives. The focus of the trip was to test previously published ideas regarding the nature and timing of reef island development in the Maldives, to undertake an assessment of the links between platform lagoon/faro infilling and island development, and to develop some of the first data on rates and styles of faro and lagoon infilling in the region. Specific objectives of the trip were as follows: 1. To determine rates of lagoon infill in a number of platform lagoons/faro s in the Maldives. 2. To establish the chronologies of island accumulation for a range of island types in the Maldives. 3. To document the morphology of islands and their surrounding reef platforms. 4. To examine the sedimentary relationships (grade and composition) between reef islands and the surrounding reef flat sediment sources. To address these objectives, field research was undertaken on 6 reef platforms within South Maalhosmadula (aa) toll that exhibit a gradient from partially filled faro s to those where islands occupy a high proportion of the reef platform surface. In order of increasing fill/island development these sites were: Kamburu Faru oatu Urunu Faru Velaa Faru hakandhoo Mendhoo Funadhoo t each site the research team collected a wide range of data including: the recovery of reef/lagoon and island cores; data on contemporary sedimentary-ecological zonation patterns across the reef platforms to the platform top islands/lagoons; and data on cross platform bathymetric and island profiles. The following is a brief account of the study sites and the activities undertaken at each site. 1
2 Kamburu Faru Kamburu Faru is a reef platform with a relatively open lagoon that has not yet infilled to reach sea level across its entire extent. Several deep (6-10 m) lagoonal basins are present and there is some evidence for the existence of an underlying karstic control on the location of these. In addition to ecological and bathymetric datasets collected along both the long and short axes of the islands, five cores were recovered along a SE NW aligned transect perpendicular to the long axis of the platform. Two cores were recovered from the reef rims and three from across the lagoon, including two cores from the deeper basinal areas in water depths of ~7 m. These penetrated to a depth of ~10 m below present mean sea level (MSL). () Kamburu Faru showing the deeper unfilled areas of the lagoon, () Reef communities on the steeply sloping platform margin, () In-situ (living and dead) cropora stands which are a common feature of the shallower lagoon areas, () ioturbated, fine-grained carbonate sands and muds characteristic of the deeper lagoon basins. 2
3 oatu Urunu Faru oatu Urunu Faru is a reef platform which has undergone a relatively high degree of infilling, only one deep basinal area (reaching ~ 6 m below MSL) remaining in the SE region of the lagoon. There is an incipient sand cay developed on the SE side of the platform close to the reef rim. Water depths are <1 m across most of the platform. In addition to ecological and bathymetric datasets collected along both the long and short axes of the islands, seven cores were recovered along a SE NW aligned transect perpendicular to the platforms long axis. Two cores were recovered from each of the platforms reef rims and three from across the lagoon, including a core from the deeper basinal area and one from the sloping flanks of the basin. These penetrated to a depth of up to ~10 m below present mean sea level (MSL).

4 Velaa Faru Velaa Faru is a reef platform which has undergone near complete infilling and has a small, incipient sand cay on its southern flank. Water depths across the platform top are about m relative to MSL. In addition to ecological and bathymetric datasets collected along both the long and short axes of the islands, three cores were recovered along a SE NW aligned transect perpendicular to the platforms long axis. ores were recovered from close to each of the platforms reef rims and one from the central area of the platform, although coring was impeded by strong wave activity. ores penetrated to a depth of up to ~3 m below present mean sea level (MSL). () View showing the near complete infilling of Velaa Faru, () View SE across the incipient sand cay, () Reef crest coral communities, ) oral rubble and Halimeda on the shallow platform top, both key constituents of the faro s infill material. 4
5 hakandhoo hakandhoo is a reef platform with a vegetated island about 350 m long. The island is located towards the eastern margins of the reef platform and occupies ~25 % of the platform area. sand moat surrounds the toe of the beach and extends out to a reef flat which is up to m wide round the island. In addition to ecological and bathymetric datasets collected along both the long and short axes of the islands, four cores were recovered along an approximately E W aligned transect perpendicular to the platform and islands long axis. One core was recovered from the islands eastern reef rim, two from the reef platform on the western side of the island, and one through the centre of the island. The island core reached a depth of 3.6 m below the island and contained lagoonal sediments at its base.

6 Mendhoo Mendhoo is a reef platform with a vegetated island (approx 500 m long) developed upon it. The island is located towards the SE margins of the reef platform and occupies ~50 % of the platform area. sand moat surrounds the toe of the beach and extends out to a reef flat m wide round the island. In addition to ecological and bathymetric datasets collected along both the long and short axes of the islands, six cores were recovered along a SE NW aligned transect perpendicular to the platform and islands long axis. Two cores were recovered from the islands SE reef rim, and three from the wider NW area of the platform extending from close to the island shoreline to near the reef rim. In addition, a core of 4.6 m length was taken through the centre of the island and contained lagoonal sediments at its base. () View showing the island of Mendhoo and its surrounding reef platform, () View of the eastern side of Mendhoo, () View across the shallow reef platform on the western side of the island with a field of Heliopora microatolls exposed on the low tides, ) High coral cover along the margins of the reef rim. 6
7 Funadhoo Funadhoo is a reef platform with a vegetated island about 300m diameter that occupies a high proportion of the reef platform surface. The island is relatively centrally located on the platform and occupies ~75 % of the platform area. In addition to ecological and bathymetric datasets collected along both the long and short axes of the islands, four cores were recovered along an E-W aligned transect perpendicular to the platform and islands long axis. One core was recovered from the islands eastern reef rim, two from the reef platform on the western side of the island, and one through the centre of the island. The island core reached a depth of 3.7 m below the island and contained lagoonal sediments at its base. () View showing the island of Funadhoo and its surrounding reef platform, () View of the eastern side of Funadhoo, () View across exposed beachrock along the eastern side of the island, ) Reef flat coral communities at Funadhoo. ata analysis n extensive sample set of both contemporary and core sediments, and coral material for radiometric dating have been recovered and will be analysed by the research team to constrain: (1) the timing of lagoon infill and, where relevant, of island evolution; and (2) to allow interpretations of modes, rates and styles of faro infilling and platform evolution (and where relevant the temporal links with island initiation and growth). In addition, ecological survey data will be used to delineate different habitat zones around each platform and to relate these to contemporary platform and island margin sediments. etailed island elevation (where relevant) and platform bathymetry datasets will provide a structural/depth framework for subsequent data interpretations. 7
