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... -
An Initial Assessment of Estuarine Geomorphic Habitats as Indicators of...
An important aim of the comparative geomorphology of estuaries project was to increase understanding of the environmental characteristics of near-pristine estuaries and provide... -
A Regional Review of Coastal Hazards Along the South West Coast of Western Australia
The south-west coast of Western Australia is made up of a series of exposed limestone headlands which are prone to the development of cliff lines and large overhangs. Coastal... -
Major achievements of the comparative geomorphology of estuaries project
Australia's near-pristine estuaries are some of our most valuable natural assets, with many natural and cultural heritage values. They are important as undisturbed habitat for... -
Mapping and characterising soft-sediment habitats, and evaluating physical...
A series of short field surveys in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, were undertaken by Geoscience Australia staff as part of the Surrogates Program in the Commonwealth Environmental... -
Visualising coastal seabed characteristics: using VRML models to present...
Geoscience Australia has produced free Web-viewable 3D models of coastal data, for sharing data and information with project partners and coastal zone stakeholders. The models... -
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... -
Conceptual Models of Australia's Estuaries and Coastal Waterways :...
This document represents part of Geoscience Australia's contribution to the National Estuaries Assessment and Management (NE) project, Theme 5 (Assessment and Monitoring), Task... -
Changing sea levels of the Australian east coast, suggested by levels of...
An investigation of beach-sand heavy-mineral deposits between the mouth of the Clarence River in northern New South Wales, and North Stradbroke Island in southern Queensland,... -
A Nationally Consistent Geomorphic Classification of the Australian Coastal Zone
Geoscience Australia has completed the first phase of an areal map of Australia's coastal geomorphological units. Utilising pre-existing GIS datasets procured from local, state... -

Heavy mineral deposits of the North Coast beaches
The principal heavy mineral deposits occur along the stretch of beaches from Ballina to Tweed Heads, in northern New South Wales, though lesser, but still commercial,... -
Australia's Near-pristine Estuaries: Current Knowledge and Management
The purpose of this investigation was to collate previously disparate information on near-pristine estuaries and make it widely available for use by managers, researchers,... -
A 1500 Year Record of Coastal Sediment Accumulation Preserved in Beach...
In this study of the beach-ridge plain at Keppel Bay, on the central coast of Queensland, we examine ridge morphology, sediment texture and geochemistry. We build a detailed... -

Geomorphology and Sediment Transport in Keppel Bay, Central Queensland, Australia
Keppel Bay is a macrotidal environment that represents the interface of the large catchment of the Fitzroy River with the southern GBR continental shelf. In this study, we... -
New Quartz SAR-OSL Ages from the Stranded Beach Dune Sequence in South-east...
A sequence of stranded coastal barriers in south-east South Australia preserves a record of sea-level variations over the past 800 ka. Huntley et al. (Quat. Sci. Rev. 12 (1993a)... -
A national-scale vulnerability assessment of seawater intrusion: coastal...
Fresh groundwater stored in Australian coastal aquifers constitutes an important resource for humans and the natural environment. However, many Australian coastal aquifers are... -
Keppel Bay: Physical Processes and Biogeochemical Engineering
In recent years there has been concern that catchment-derived nutrients and sediments discharged by rivers into the lagoon of the Great Barrier Reef are having a deleterious...
