Poster Sessions

Posters depicting the Belize carbonate complex and ancient analogs (particularly the Devonian of Western Canada) have been prepared for presentation throughout the field seminar.  Many of the posters compare and contrast shelf, barrier and atoll reefs with similar ancient reef settings and others are designed to enhance the participants understanding of each modern reef visited in the “field”. 

The list below includes most of the posters that were prepared specifically for the field and workshop seminar.
