Development, Composition and Age of Indurated Sand Layers in the Late...
Indurated sand is commonly found in Quaternary coastal deposits in a range of temperate and tropical environments. These horizons can record past regionally significant phases... -
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... -
Late Holocene sediment in Nara Inlet, central Great Barrier Reef platform,...
Nara Inlet in the Whitsunday Islands is a natural depocenter for clastic and carbonate sediment on the middle shelf of the central Great Barrier Reef (GBR) platform. Three... -
Topographic Controls on Post-Oligocene Changes in Ice-sheet Dynamics, Prydz...
Within the general trend of post-Eocene cooling, the largest and oldest outlet of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet underwent a change from ice-cliff to ice-stream and/or ice-shelf... -
Formation, Morphology and Preservation of High-energy Carbonate Lithofacies:...
Cool-water carbonate environments may be responsible for up to one third of the carbonate sediment produced on continental shelves, and are useful modern analogues for many... -
Towards spatially distributed quantitative assessment of tsunami inundation models
In this paper a new benchmark for tsunami model validation is pro- posed. The benchmark is based upon the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which provides a uniquely large amount of... -
Sedimentation and continental slope processes in the vicinity of an ocean...
Digital echo sounding, SeaBeam swath bathymetry data and sediment cores were collected on the continental slope off southeastern Tasmania in order to study sedimentary processes... -
Environmental Management of Clastic Coastal Depositional Environments:...
Simple, conceptual geomorphic models can assist environmental managers in making informed decisions regarding management of the coast at continental and regional scales. This... -
Seasonal Changes in Major Ions, Nutrients and Chlorophyll a at two Sites in...
Seasonal variations in major ions, nutrients and chlorophyll a were examined at two sites in the upper reaches of the Swan River estuary, Western Australia. Intra-annual... -
Special Issue in Honour of the Contribution of Michael Collins to Sediment...
A symposium was held at the University of Wales, Swansea in July 2007 to honour the career and achievements of Professor Michael Collins. The symposium was organised by... -
Climatic Variability in the Southwest Pacific during the Last Termination
The degree to which palaeoclimatic changes in the Southern Hemisphere co-varied with events in the high latitude Northern Hemisphere during the Last Termination is a contentious... -
Ocean-floor volcanism in the Lachlan Fold Belt: new evidence from 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-... -
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... -
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... -
Influence of Climate Fluctuations and Changes in Catchment Land Use on Late...
Beach ridges at Keppel Bay, central Queensland, Australia, preserve a record of sediment accumulation from the historical period back to middle Holocene times. The ridges... -
Bioregionalization of the George V Shelf, East Antarctica
The East Antarctic continental shelf has had very few studies examining the macrobenthos structure or relating biological communities to the abiotic environment. In this study,... -
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... -
Sediment Transport in Distributary Channels and its Export to the...
Current metre deployments, suspended sediment measurements and surface sediment samples were collected from three locations within distributary channels of the tidally dominated... -
Late Pleistocene and Holocene Sedimentation of the George V Continental...
Climatically controlled glaciological and oceanogrphic environmental changes off the George V Coast during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene have been recontructed from changes...
