Short summary

We present a 1-D model of coral reefs' evolution over centennial to millennial timescales. The model enables us to estimate the effects of environmental conditions (such as oceanic variability, sedimentation rate, sea-level fluctuations or tectonics) and ecological coral competition on reef vertical accretion and stratigraphic succession. The tool can quantitatively test carbonate platform development and efficiently interpret vertical growth under various forcing scenarios.
