Gene and listers,
Thank you for the note and the link. A team of scientists actually surveyed those areas in Northern Sumatra last February and photographed the uplifted reefs as well as collected information from both outside and underwater reefs.
Results have been submitted to "Coral Reefs".
Thank you
"There has been much discussion on the coral-list
about tsunami
effects on coral reefs in Indonesia but how many
know of the
extensive reef areas around Sumatra that were
uplifted (100 percent
mortality)
as much as 2.5 meters by the more recent
earthquake? To see a
portion of the uplifted reefs, recently surveyed
by USGS geologists,
see the satellite images at,
