The Mesoamerican Reef is the largest reef system in the Western Hemisphere. The origin and evolution of the Belize Barrier reef in the
southern portion of this system is strongly controlled by local tectonics along the boundary between the North American Plate and the
Caribbean Plate. This project focused on the modern and ancient geomorphology of the
carbonate dominated region. Students explored the
country's geology, ecology,and culture.
