The determination of suspended-sediment loads in the southern Great Barrier...
A mechanical system for collecting samples of suspended sediment in the water column at various stages of a tidal cycle, together with measurement of tidal current velocities,... -
Miocene to Pleistocene foraminiferal biostratigraphy of dredge samples from...
Planktic and larger benthic foraminiferids have been studied in thin section from a suite of dredge samples of two sites on the Marion Plateau, offshore Queensland. The two... -
Paleocene-Eocene biostratigraphy and palaeoenvironment of East Antarctica:...
The Mac. Robertson Shelf and western Prydz Bay, on the continental shelf of East Antarctica, were the sites of seismic/coring programs in February- March 1995 and 1997, and of... -
Terrigenous sedimentation in the central Great Barrier Reef lagoon: a model...
The central Great Barrier Reef Province is characterised by a mainland prograding terrigenous clastic shoreline and an inner shelf dominated by fluvially derived mud. The... -
Pattern of slow seafloor spreading (<4 mm/year) from breakup (96 Ma) to A20...
Australia separated from Antarctica by continental extension between the mid-Jurassic (>160 Ma) and mid-Cretaceous (96 Ma), then by slow seafloor spreading (half-rate <... -
Archaeocyatha of the Amadeus and Georgina Basins
The Todd River Dolomite (Amadeus Basin) and Mount Baldwin Formation (Georgina Basin) are a part of the Early Cambrian platform cover of the central Australian craton. Marine... -
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... -
Palynostratigraphy of the central west Murray Basin
Palynological analyses have been undertaken on four fully cored boreholes in the central west Murray Basin (Woodlands-1, Manilla-I, Piangil West-2 and Hatfield-1 holes) to... -
Geology of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus off northwest Australia:...
In this paper we present the first detailed geological information about the margins of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus. New single-channel seismic profiles helped to select... -
Global sea-level change as a method of correlating the Late Permian coal...
Eustatic changes in sea level can be used to correlate sequences in widely separated areas. Thick terrestrial sequences with marine intercalations are especially suitable,... -
A non-marine Lower Cretaceous rift-related epicIastic volcanic unit in...
Relationships, thicknesses, and palaeocurrent and other sedimentary data applying to facies associations in Eumeralla Formation outcrops in the eastern Otway Basin distinguish... -
Manganese nodules from the Tasman Sea off Sydney
Two manganese nodules were recently recovered by HMAS Kimbla from a water depth of 4300 m, in a northeast-trending trough about 250 nautical miles southeast of Sydney (155°... -
Tectonic and metallogenic framework of the Cambrian Stansbury Basin -...
The Early to Middle Cambrian Stansbury Basin preserves a palaeogeographic zonation, from shallow shelf carbonates in the west (Spencer and Ardrossan Shelves) through extensional... -
Hydrogeology of a raised coral atoll - Niue Island, South Pacific Ocean
Niue Island, in the south Pacific Ocean, is a raised coral atoll with an area of 259 km^2. The original atoll rim is preserved as a peripheral ridge about 60 m above sea level,... -
Growth fabrics and growth rates of Holocene reefs in the Great Barrier Reef
Over the past five years, scientists of the Bureau of Mineral Resources and James Cook University of North Queensland have drilled 61 holes into 24 reefs throughout the Great... -
Late Cretaceous-Palaeogene nannofossil biostratigraphy of Challenger No. 1...
Late Cretaceous-Palaeogene calcareous nannofossil assemblages from the mainly carbonate section in Challenger No. 1 well, above the 780m level, have some similarities with the... -
Glacially grooved surfaces in the Grant Group, Grant Range, Canning Basin...
Grooved surfaces in Late Palaeozoic Grant Group rocks in the central Grant Range were cut by glacial ice. The orientation of the grooves and small step-like sedimentary... -
Seabed mapping using multibeam swath-mapping systems: an essential...
Swath-mapping of the seabed started soon after the Second World War, with small towed sidescan sonars providing images and built-in multi beam sonars providing bathymetry... -
Gradational benthic marine communities in the Early Carboniferous...
Four benthic marine fossil commumtles are recognised in faunas of the Rhipidomella fortimuscula brachiopod Zone of late Visean (Early Carboniferous) age using multivariate... -
Holocene Palaeo-Environmental changes, central to north Great Barrier Reef inner zone
Fringing reefs and storm ridges, from inner-shelf sites on the Great Barrier Reef between 14° and 20° S, are examined for Holocene sea-level and climatic changes. The sites...
