Geology of the Cayman Islands

Evolution of Complex Carbonate Successions on Isolated Oceanic Islands

Meer over het boek

The geological evolution of Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac is explored over the past 30 to 35 million years, highlighting the interplay between carbonate sediment deposition and karst development influenced by fluctuating sea levels and tectonic movements. The book also addresses contemporary challenges, such as the supply of drinking water for the growing populations, which is primarily sourced from desalinization plants strategically located based on an understanding of the islands' bedrock.
