Compilation and production of the 1976 1:5 000 000 Gravity Map of Australia
In 1976 a coloured 1:5 000 000 Gravity Map of Australia was published by BMR. At that stage the systematic reconnaissance gravity coverage of Australia, initiated by BMR in... -
Deep-water Quaternary Foraminifera from short cores taken between Australia...
Twenty short cores were recovered from the northern Scott Plateau (water depths ca 3200 m) and the southern slope of the Java Trench (water depths 4950-5790 m) by R.V. Valdivia... -
Quaternary vadose calcretes revisited
Vadose calcretisation commences with precipitation of micritic calcite from carbonate-rich meteoric water in the soil moisture zone. Through time, calcrete is subjected to... -
Earthquake Risk in Australia
Earthquake risk maps of Australia were prepared using a computer program which selected events from a regional earthquake file and calculated maximum values of acceleration,... -
Variation of crustal mass over the Australian region
Seismic refraction surveys in Australia and nearby marine areas provide data on crustal velocities and layer thicknesses. The averages of these at various places have been used... -
The Proterozoic impact record of Australia
Six impact structures of known or probable Proterozoic age have been identified in Australia: (1) the Teague Ring structure in central Western Australia, 30 km in diameter and... -
Gravimetry in Australia, 1819-1976
The earliest known gravity measurements in Australia were made by French expeditions in 1819 and 1824, using pendulums at Sydney. Later in the 19th century, further pendulum... -
Gravity provinces and their nomenclature
Gravity features have been defined and named by the various authors who have interpreted the results of land and marine reconnaissance gravity surveys in Australia. In general,... -
Free-air anomaly and gravity maps of Australia - in colour, 1:25,000,000
On the following pages are a Free-air Anomaly Map of Australia and a Gravity Map of Australia (showing Bouguer anomalies on land and free-air anomalies at sea), both at a scale... -
Clavohamulus primitus - A key North American conodont found in the Georgina Basin
The enigmatic conodont Clavohamulus primitus Miller is described from the Tremadocian part of the Ninmaroo Formation, Georgina Basin. This key subzone species for North American... -
Stresses in the Australian crust: evidence from earthquakes and in-situ...
Evidence from earthquake focal mechanisms, in situ stress measurements, and surface deformations indicate that the Australian continent is in a state of substantial horizontal... -
An appraisal of Australian heat-flow data
Estimates of heat flow in Australia have been compiled in standard format rating the principal facts of each determination. Quality is assessed using a code that contains a... -
A selected bibliography on Australian gravity
This bibliography mainly contains reports of those major surveys used to construct the 1976 1:5 million gravity map of Australia. The bibliography is listed in alphabetical... -
Regional variation of gravity, and isostatic equilibrium if the Australian crust
In eastern Australia free-air anomalies and altitudes averaged over 1° x 1° areas show a positive correlation of +0.059 ± .004 mGal. m^-1. lsostatic compensation of...
