The authors review the current knowledge of the Quaternary geologic history of the Bahaman Archipelago and Bermuda, an area with unique terranes for the study of carbonate rocks, sediments, and environments. The exposed stratigraphic sequences of the islands reveal much about the history of global sea-level changes during Quaternary time. The focus is on interpretation of the characteristics of Bahamian and Bermudan rocks units, their fossil faunas and floras, and the karst surface features of the islands. Information from studies of the modern shallow marine environments are used to help understand the rock record. Up-to-date summaries of the geologic history are presented, along with models of stratigraphic development. Other articles cover a broad spectrum of subdisciplines from paleontology to carbonate systems geochemistry. Chapters are case-book examples of the investigation of important aspects of carbonate island geology.
