N2 - An account is given of two decades experience in running undergraduate, graduate, and popular courses in reef science, focussed on zonation, bioturbation, and lithification of southwest Pacific reefs. The program can be readily adapted for other regions having coral cays with extensive reef flats, or regions with broad fringing or barrier reefs. Educational value is increased where contemporary and fossil reefs are closely juxtaposed, as for example in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Cook Islands, and French Polynesia. -Authors
