Western Australia: Phanerozoic geology and mineral resources
Phanerozoic rocks in onshore Western Australia are primarily sedimentary. Volcanic and intrusive rocks are known from only a few areas and are mostly related to continental... -
Vegetation and climate of the late Cainozoic in the Murray Basin and their...
The Murray Basin was forested throughout the Tertiary, becoming open woodlands and grasslands in Plio-Pleistocene time. Precipitation was very high through the early Tertiary,... -

Tectonic and sedimentary history of the Argo Abyssal Plain, eastern Indian Ocean
Bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles totalling about 2800 km, and covering about 110 000 km2 of the Argo Abyssal plain, have been analysed. The early emplacement of... -
Triassic environments in the Canning Basin, Western Australia
A review of the lithology, sedimentary structures and palaeontology, supplemented by original investigations, suggests that the Triassic system in the Canning Basin can be... -
Relative fall of Holocene sea level and coastal progradation, northeastern...
The levels of intertidal environments of prograding Holocene coastal complexes of northeast Spencer Gulf have been precisely measured and their relation with the tidal range... -
Effects of a major earthquake near Bougainville, 20 July 1975
On 20 July 1975 a major earthquake (MS7.9) shook the northern islands of the Solomon Islands chain. Damage amounting to at least $300,000 (Australian) occurred in the southern... -
Lithology and diagenesis of the carbonate foundations of modern reefs in the...
In the southern Great Barrier Reef a relativel y thin (< 20 m) Holocene reef has developed on a foundation comprising a succession of older reefs. This reef foundation... -
Quaternary and modern environments of the Van Diemen Rise, Timor Sea, and...
Environmental baseline data are required for Australias offshore areas before petroleum exploration. This has boosted demand for analysis and interpretation of the Quaternary... -
Seismic refraction - a tool for studying coral reef growth
Seismic refraction studies have been conducted in close proximity to shallow boreholes previously drilled at Bewick (Northern Great Barrier Reef), Hayman (Central Great Barrier... -

Late quaternary regional controls on the development of the Great Barrier...
High-resolution seismic reflection data have been examined in an attempt to identify and explain some of the regional differences and controls on the development of the Great... -
Sedimentary cycles in the Surat Basin and global changes of sea level
Six sedimentary cycles, each hundreds of metres thick, have been recognised in the Surat Basin. The Jurassic cycles (nos. 1-4) typically started with high-energy deposition of... -
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... -
Geological history of the outer North West Shelf of Australia: a synthesis
This paper uses information contained in other papers in this issue of the AGSO Journal together with the scientific literature to produce a synthesis of the geological... -

Drowned dolines - the blue holes of the Pompey Reefs, Great Barrier Reef
Blue holes occur at Cockatoo and Molar Reefs, in the Pompey hard line reefs. These two holes are roughly circular in shape, between 240-295 m in diameter, and 30-40 m deep. They... -
Origins of groundwater salinity near Tresco, northwest Victoria
Core samples and groundwater from bores at Tresco, northern Victoria, in the southern margin of the Murray Basin, have been analysed for palynology and chemistry. An aquifer... -
Long-term landscape evolution on Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory
Like other areas throughout the north of the Northern Territory, Groote Eylandt is dominated by a landscape of great age. Previous interpretations have argued that this...
