Comment on Dye (2006) - "Is Geomorphic Zonation a Useful Predictor of...
In a recent paper, Dye (2006) analyzed the distribution of species of macrobenthos and meiobenthos within two geomorphic facies of four small intermittently closed and open... -
Wind Generated Tool Marks Resembling Trace Fossils in a Shallow Estuarine Environment
A suite of tool marks were observed in the seaward section of a small estuary on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The marks were formed through wind dragging... -
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... -
Geomorphology and Evolution of the Gigantic Murray Canyons on the Australian...
The Murray Canyons are a group of deeply-incised submarine canyons on a steep 400-km section of the continental slope off Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Some of the canyons... -
Late Neogene Ice Drainage Changes in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica and the...
During the late Neogene, the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf drainage system flowed across Prydz Bay and showed several changes in flow pattern. In the Early Pliocene, the... -
Comment on: Williams et al (2009) -Australia's Deep-water Reserve Network:...
Williams et al. (2009) report on new multibeam sonar bathymetry and underwater video data collected from submarine canyons and seamounts on Australia's southeast continental... -
Implications of sponge biodiversity patterns for the management of a marine...
Marine reserves are becoming progressively more important as anthropogenic impacts continue to increase, but we have little baseline information for most marine environments. In... -
A Review of the Cenozoic Stratigraphy and Glacial History of the Lambert...
The Cenozoic glacial history of East Antarctica is recorded in part by the stratigraphy of the Prydz Bay-Lambert Graben region. The glacigene strata and associated erosion... -
Coral Spawn and Bathymetric Slicks in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Data...
Annular to crescent-shaped low back scatter SAR slicks over carbonate reefs and shoals in the Timor Sea with slick `feathering', and within the coral spawning period for the... -
Marine Resources, Biophysical Processes, and Environmental Management of a...
This article is the introduction to a special issue of Continental Shelf Research containing papers giving research results produced as part of Australia's Torres Strait Co-... -
Carbon Geochemistry of Cold Seeps: Methane Fluxes and Transformation in...
Despite growing concerns about potential enhancement of global warming and slope failure by methane produced by gas hydrate dissociation, much uncertainty surrounds estimates of... -
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... -
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... -
Infaunal biodiversity and ecological function on a remote oceanic island:...
Understanding and predicting the processes determining biological assemblages and marine biodiversity is critical to managing and conserving marine ecosystems. Infauna are a... -
Chemical Diversity in South-eastern Australian Saline Lakes II: Biotic Implications
This study explores how differences in ionic composition of south-eastern Australian saline lake waters, caused by path differentiation according to the Eugster-Jones-Hardie... -
Andvord Drift: a new type of inner shelf, glacial marine deposystem from the...
Hemipelagic, sediment drift deposits have been discovered and mapped on the Antarctic Peninsula shelf in 300-500 m water depth. The drift located adjacent to Andvord Bay covers... -
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... -
Classification of the Australian Continental Shelf Based on Predicted...
Estimates of significant wave height and period, together with tidal current speed over a semi-lunar cycle, were used to predict the area on the Australian continental shelf... -
Submerged Coral Reefs in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia
We report the discovery of three submerged, living patch coral reefs covering 80 km2 in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia, an area previously thought not to contain... -
Facies Evolution of Holocene Estuaries and Deltas: A Large-sample...
Selected geomorphic features and sedimentary facies were mapped in 283 of Australia's wave- and tide-dominated estuaries and deltas to quantitatively evaluate established...
