Tidally Incised Valleys on Tropical Carbonate Shelves: An Example from the...
The formation of incised valleys on continental shelves is generally attributed to fluvial erosion under low sea level conditions. However, there are exceptions. A multibeam... -
Incorporation of Organic Contaminants in Geochemical Samples and an...
Organic geochemists are increasingly involved in multi-disciplinary collaborative studies but not often in the initial sample collection phase, so understanding the origin and... -
Basement and crustal results from the Bremer Sub-basin, SW Australia and its...
As part of the Australian Government's "New Oil" initiative, Geoscience Australia undertook a geophysical survey (the Southwest Frontiers Survey) of the south-western Australian... -
Submerged banks in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, greatly increase...
Anthropogenic global ocean warming is predicted to cause bleaching of many near-sea-surface (NSS) coral reefs, placing increased importance on deeper reef habitats to maintain... -
Sediment Core from Beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, Suggests...
The stability of floating ice shelves is an important indicator of ocean circulation and ice-shelf mass balance. A sub-ice -shelf sediment core collected during the Austral... -
Leg 189 Synthesis: Cretaceous-Holocene History of the Tasmanian Gateway
Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 189 drilled five sites in bathyal depths on submerged continental blocks in the Tasmanian Gateway, to help refine the hypothesis that its... -
Including biogeochemical factors and a temporal component in benthic habitat...
Mapping of benthic habitats seldom considers biogeochemical variables or changes across time. We aimed to: (i) develop winter and summer benthic habitat maps for a sandy... -
Biogeography of the Lord Howe Rise region, Tasman Sea
In this review we aim to synthesise physical and biological information on the Lord Howe Rise (LHR) region to describe its biogeography at a regional scale (100s of kilometres)... -
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... -
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... -
d18O Seasonality of Planktonic Foraminifera from Southern Ocean Sediment...
The oxygen isotopic record obtained from Globigerina bulloides, Globorotalia inflata, and Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (s.) was analysed for 5 sediment traps moored in the... -
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... -
Benthic Marine Bioregionalisation of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone: A...
The benthic (sea floor) component of the National Marine Bioregionalisation covers the 80% of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone that lies beyond the continental shelf break.... -
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... -
Miocene volcanic seamounts on northern Lord Howe Rise: lithology, age,...
Multibeam sonar swath-mapping has revealed small submarine volcanic cones on the northeastern Lord Howe Rise (LHR), a submerged ribbon continent. Two such cones, aligned NNW and... -
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... -
Improving our Knowledge of Australia's Near-pristine Estuaries
The central aim of the Comparative Geomorphology of Estuaries Project of the Coastal CRC was to improve our understanding of Australia's near-pristine estuaries. As the title... -
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...
