Quaternary Calcarenite Stratigraphy on Lord Howe Island, Southwestern...
Lord Howe Island is a small, mid-ocean volcanic and carbonate island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Skeletal carbonate eolianite and beach calcarenite on the island are... -
A geochemical characterisation of deep-sea floor sediments of the northern...
This study presents new information on the regional geochemical characteristics of deep-sea floor sediments (1300 - 2423 m water depth) on the Lord Howe Rise (deep-sea plateau)... -
Estimating the biodiversity of the East Antarctic shelf and oceanic zone for...
Ecoregions are defined in terms of community structure in function of abiotic or even anthropogenic forcing. They are mesoscale structures defined on the potential habitat of... -
Ocean-floor volcanism in the Lachlan Fold Belt: new evidence from the...

Applications of Geophysical Information to the Design of a Representative...
Management of the marine environment in Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone is addressed by an Oceans Policy that was put forward by the government in 1998. The policy is being... -
Using Inherent Optical Properties to Investigate Biogeochemical Dynamics in...
The variability in the inherent optical properties along an estuary-coast-ocean continuum in tropical Australia has been studied. The study area, the Fitzroy Estuary and Keppel... -
Processes controlling the formation of the Mertz Drift, George Vth...
Recently discovered drift deposits on the Antarctic continental shelf provide access to information on the Holocene palaeoceanography of the bottom current regime within deep... -
Bedload Sediment Transport Dynamics in a Macrotidal Embayment, and...
Keppel Bay is a macrotidal embayment on a tectonically stable, tropical coast, which links the Fitzroy River with the Great Barrier Reef continental shelf. Estuaries and deltas... -
Composition and Distribution of Seabed and Suspended Sediments in North and...
Widespread seagrass dieback in central Torres Strait, Australia has been anecdotally linked to the delivery of vast quantities of terrigenous sediments from New Guinea. The... -
Lithofacies distribution in relation to the geomorphic provinces of Prydz...
Over the past 15 years, Japanese, Australian and Russian expeditions to Prydz Bay have collected about 30 000 kilometrs of bathymetric data, 6 000 kilometres of sidescan sonar... -
Geomorphology of the Australian Margin and Adjacent Seafloor
For the first time, the distribution of seafloor geomorphic features has been systematically mapped over much of the Australian margin and adjacent seafloor. Each of 21 feature... -
Sediment Mobility due to currents and waves in the Torres Strait - Gulf of...
The MECO hydrodynamic model was adapted for the Torres Strait - Gulf of Papua region at 0.051 resolution. Validation of the hydrodynamic model was carried out against observed... -
Multi-scale Fish-habitat Associations and the Use of Habitat Surrogates to...
Deep-water demersal fishes are an important component of continental shelf and slope ecosystems and play an important role in the economies of many countries. Strong and... -
Physical Surrogates for Macrofaunal Distributions and Abundance in a Tropical Gulf
The characterisation of benthic habitats based on their abiotic (physical and chemical) attributes remains poorly defined in the marine environment, but is becoming increasingly... -
Modelling Bio-irrigation Rates in the Sediments of Port Phillip Bay
The introduction of a deuterium-enriched tracer to benthic incubation chambers emplaced on the sea floor of Port Phillip Bay provides a method of modelling bio-irrigation within... -
Seafloor Morphology and Acoustic Facies of the George V Land Shelf
To study the seafloor morpholofy on the George V land shelf, East Antarctica, over 2000 kilometres of high-frequency echo-sounder data were collected between February and March... -
Bottom currents, sedimentation and ice-sheet retreat facies successions on...
Measurements of water turbidity, currents, seafloor sediment samples and geophysical data document the sedimentary processes and the Late Quaternary sedimentary history of a... -
Ripple cross-laminated sediments on the East Antarctic Shelf: evidence for...
Biosiliceous sediments sampled from a submarine valley system on the continental shelf of East Antarctica contain intervals of ripple cross-lamination interspersed with... -
The Influence of Geomorphology and Sedimentary Processes on Shallow-water...
The mapping of seabed environments is fundamental to successful fisheries management and environmental monitoring, however, there is an emerging need to better characterise... -
Effect of sewage nutrients on algal production, biomass and species...
Microalgal blooms are one of the most visible responses to anthropogenic nutrient loadings in coastal ecosystems. However, differentiating sources of nutrients causing blooms...
