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... -
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... -
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... -
Potential field and bathymetry grids of Australia's margins
The Australian Geological Survey Organistaion, in co-operation with Desmond Fitzgerald and Associates and the Australian Hydrographic Service, has produced a set of digital... -
Coastal and Estuarine Studies: Interactions between Macro- and...
Marine sediments support complex interactions between macro- and microorganisms. What is the state of the science on such interactions from costal and estuarine environments to... -
Progress towards an understanding of tsunami risk in NSW
Tsunamis pose considerable risk to coastal communities around the globe and understanding this risk is a key aspect of emergency management and risk reduction. This paper... -
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... -
A Rapid Method to Characterize Seabed Habitats and Associated Macro-Organisms
This study presents a method for rapidly collecting, processing, and interrogating real-time abiotic and biotic seabed data to determine seabed habitat classifications. This is... -
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... -
Nutrient dynamics and pelagic primary production in coastal creeks...
This report describes the investigations into the coastal creek system conducted within the Fitzroy agricultural contaminants project. Before this work started there had been... -
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...
This paper was published in Geoscience Australia Research Newsletter, 28 -
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,...
