The Territory of the Cocos is also called the Coco Islands or the Keeling Islands, and forms part of the nation of Australia's territory. The territory is located in the Indian Ocean midway between Australia and Sri Lanka and to the southwest of Christmas Island. The Territory of Cocos consists of 27 coral islands with only two of the coral islands inhabited the West Island and the Home Island. The islands have been called Cocos and Keeling since 1622 and 1703 respectively. The name Coco was due to the abundant coconut trees in the island while Keeling was named after William Keeling who was the firsts European to sight the island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral reefs are the largest landforms built by plants and animals. Their study therefore incorporates a wide range of disciplines. This encyclopedia approaches coral reefs from an earth science perspective, concentrating especially on modern reefs. Currently coral reefs are under high stress, most prominently from climate change with changes to water temperature, sea level and ocean acidification particularly damaging. Modern reefs have evolved through the massive environmental changes of the Quaternary with long periods of exposure during glacially lowered sea level periods and short periods of interglacial growth. The entries in this encyclopedia condense the large amount of work carried out since Charles Darwin first attempted to understand reef evolution. Leading authorities from many countries have contributed to the entries covering areas of geology, geography and ecology, providing comprehensive access to the most up-to-date research on the structure, form and processes operating on Quaternary coral reefs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coral and Atolls: A History and Description of the Keeling-Cocos Islands, With an Account of Their Fauna and Flora, and a Discussion of the Method of Development and Transformation of Coral Structures in General For fifteen months I dwelt in Cocos-Keeling atoll. The charm of so remote a spot, the romance of its story and of its proprietor, and the fact that it was Darwin's atoll, were the reasons for my residence - its purpose was the medical care of the handful of men engaged in working the cable which breaks its journey from Australia to Africa upon the shores of the most northern islet of the group. Upon this islet - Pulu Tikus - I lived, and shared its inconsiderable strip of coral land - some thousand yards in length - with fifteen Europeans, some twenty Chinese servants, three Malay boatmen, and two Hindoo clerks. The outlets for medical enthusiasm were therefore strictly limited, and much time was to hand for the study of the place and its fauna, and for speculating upon the problem of how so tiny a speck of land came to be made in the midst of that great waste of ocean. I arrived early in June 1905, and lived upon Pulu Tikus until September 30, 1906. In January 1907 I returned, and, for a time, lived with the Governor at his home on Pulu Selma. During all these months I examined every portion of the atoll, became familiar with its living creatures, and made every endeavour to appreciate the life-processes of those most misunderstood of architects - the reef-building corals. Most of my days were passed in wading about the barrier flats, sailing or paddling a boat in the lagoon, or making excursions to the other islands of the atoll ring.

The territory consists of two atolls and 27 coral islands, of which two, West Island and Home Island, are inhabited with a total population of approximately 600. The Cocos (Keeling) Islands consist of two flat, low-lying coral atolls with an area of 14.2 square kilometres (5.5 sq mi), 26 kilometres (16 mi) of coastline, a highest elevation of 5 metres (16 ft) and thickly covered with coconut palms and other vegetation. The climate is pleasant, moderated by the southeast trade winds for about nine months of the year and with moderate rainfall. Cyclones may occur in the early months of the year.
