Coral reefs are a complex and productive ecosystem that encompasses the highest biodiversity of any marine ecosystem. They are unique as they depend on a strong interaction between geomorphic and ecological processes. Investigating the formation and morphological change of coral reefs and reef-associated landforms contributes to a deeper understanding of a number of geomorphological, environmental and ecological issues, such as sediment and nutrient transport processes, larval dispersion mechanisms, estimation of their carrying capacity as habitat, etc. Moreover, it is crucial to improve coral reef conservation with a view of changing environmental conditions resulting from an increased stress by both anthropogenic and climate changes. To date, we have lost most of the global coral reef
