To help us quickly and accurately process your abstract, please use this format

to submit your abstract. Your abstract will appear in the Carbonate Beaches 2000

Volume EXACTLY the way you submit it. There will be absolutely NO EDITING of the

abstract and it must be two pages or less.

     The first item you should list is the title of your abstract. The title should be in

bold, upper case, and flush left with the margin. After the title, skip one line

and type the senior author's name first, followed by additional authors. Capitalize

the LAST NAME, FIRST NAME or INITIAL, and MIDDLE NAME or INITIAL of

each author. Underline the LAST NAME. Also include "JR.," "III," etc. After each

author's name, insert a comma and include the affiliation (employer) and the

address in upper and lower case, including city and state or country in which

each author is employed. Please provide an e-mail address for the senior author

only. If the speaker will be someone other than the senior author, put an

asterisk (*) after the speaker's/presenter's name. For multiple authors, insert

a semi-colon after the first author's address and start with the additional

author's name.

     Skip another line and begin the body of your abstract. This abstract (for either

oral and poster presentation) is limited to two pages or less. Only the title should

be bold. Justify the text to both left and right 1" margins. Indent the first line of

each paragraph. Please use 12-point type, Helvetica or a similar sans-serif font is

preferred (e.g. Arial, Geneva). Leave no blank lines except at the end. Be certain to

proofread your abstract carefully, as no corrections will be made after you submit

your abstract. Illustrations are permitted. On the last line of your abstract, indicate

whether you prefer an oral or poster presentation.
