| Robert Ginsburg and colleagues at the Shell Research
Laboratory in Coral Gables, Florida pioneered work in comparative
sedimentology of carbonate sediments. This early work laid the foundation
for the formation of the CSL at Fisher Island Station when Ginsburg
joined the University of Miami in the early 1970's. |
