Abstract
Studies of aerial photographs, bathymetric charts and sedimentation patterns show that the lagoons of Aitutaki and Manuae, in the Southern Cook Group, are much shallower than average Pacific atoll lagoons and that movement of present-day sediment into the lagoons is burying coral knolls which probably formed during the post-glacial rise in sea level; both lagoons are steadily silting up.
