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... -
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... -
Integrating multibeam sonar and underwater video data to map benthic...
An integrated analysis of biological and geoscientific data collected from the nearshore marine environment of the Vestfold Hills was used to identify benthic habitats and... -
Diatoms Control Nutrient Cycles in a Temperate, Wave-dominated Estuary...
Diatoms are important primary producers within pelagic, benthic end epiphytic communities and their siliceous frustule leads to rapid sinking to the sediment. As a consequence,... -
The challenges of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in stable...
In stable continental regions (SCR) the undertaking of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment remains a scientific and technical challenge. There is no seismo-tectonic model,... -
Effect of nutrient loading on biogeochemical processes in tropical tidal creeks
The effect of increased nutrient loads on biogeochemical processes in macrotidal, mangrove-lined creeks was studied in tropical Darwin Harbour, Australia. Water quality and... -
Disturbance of Intertidal Sediments: The Response of Bacteria and Foraminifera
Incubation experiments are common in marine experimental studies but the impact on organisms and geochemical parameters is poorly understood. Here, the re-establishment of... -
Denitrification and Denitrifying Efficiencies in Sediments of Port Phillip...
High-precision measurements of N2 in benthic chamber waters indicated that denitrification occurs within the major sedimentary facies in Port Phillip Bay. The integrated fluxes... -
Geophysical Variables as Predictors of Megabenthos Assemblages from the...
The question as to whether geophysical data from habitats can be used to predict the occurrence of benthic biodiversity is becoming more important with the increase in the use... -
Acoustic Structure and Seismic Velocities in the Carnarvon Basin, Australian...
High quality refraction and wide-angle reflection seismic data recorded by ocean-bottom seismographs (OBSs) deployed by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation along the... -
First Discovery of Dolomite and Magnesite in Living Coralline Algae and its...
Dolomite is a magnesium rich carbonate mineral abundant in ancient coral reef formations [1-3] yet very little is found forming in modern sedimentary environments. For over 150... -
Crustal architecture of Tasmania based on deep seismic reflection surveys in...

Why Australia has so much uranium
Uranium mining in Australia began in 1954 at Rum Jungle in the Northern Territory and Radium Hill in South Australia. The first mining of uranium for electricity generation in... -
Crustal Structure Across the Vulcan Sub-basin from Seismic Refraction and...
The attenuated continental crust between the Kimberley Block and the Timor Trough hosts some of the major oil and gas fields in Western Australia. The crustal structure has been... -
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... -
Rifting and subduction initiation history of the New Caledonia Trough,...
The New Caledonia Trough is a bathymetric depression 200-300 km wide, 2300 km long, and 1.5-3.5 km deep between New Caledonia and New Zealand. In and adjacent to the trough,... -
Deep seismic profiling across the Batten Trough, McAurthur Basin, Northern Territory
This paper was presented at 17th Australian Geological Convention, Hobart, Tasmania -
Carpentaria - Mt Isa Zinc Belt: basement framework, chronostratigraphy and...
Palaeoproterozoic sedimentary rocks of the McArthur-Mt Isa-Cloncurry mineral belt of northern Australia host the world's most important zinc repository, several world-class Cu-... -
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... -
The seafloor geomorphology of the Windmill Islands, Wilkes Land, East...
High-resolution marine sonar swath mapping, covering an area of ca. 33 km2 in the vicinity of the Windmill Islands (67° S, 110° E), Wilkes Land, east Antarctica, permits...
