Nannofossil and planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphy around the...
Nannofossil evidence suggests that the up-sequence appearance of Globigerinoides quadrilobatus primordius is depth-related, and first occurs at a lower stratigraphic level in... -
Regional variations in Australian heat flow
Twenty new heat-flow values from widely separated sites on the Australian continent are presented. These are combined with published land and marine data in the area 90-170°E,... -
Implications of Australian seismic and gravity measurements for the...
In a previous paper densities of crustal layers were inferred from seismic refraction surveys in Australia and surrounding marine areas. These indicated substantial variations... -
Gravimetry in Australia, 1819-1976
The earliest known gravity measurements in Australia were made by French expeditions in 1819 and 1824, using pendulums at Sydney. Later in the 19th century, further pendulum... -
Gravity provinces and their nomenclature
Gravity features have been defined and named by the various authors who have interpreted the results of land and marine reconnaissance gravity surveys in Australia. In general,... -
Variation of crustal mass over the Australian region
Seismic refraction surveys in Australia and nearby marine areas provide data on crustal velocities and layer thicknesses. The averages of these at various places have been used... -
Compilation and production of the 1976 1:5 000 000 Gravity Map of Australia
In 1976 a coloured 1:5 000 000 Gravity Map of Australia was published by BMR. At that stage the systematic reconnaissance gravity coverage of Australia, initiated by BMR in... -
Free-air anomaly and gravity maps of Australia - in colour, 1:25,000,000
On the following pages are a Free-air Anomaly Map of Australia and a Gravity Map of Australia (showing Bouguer anomalies on land and free-air anomalies at sea), both at a scale... -
Carboniferous and Permian palynostratigraphy in Australia and Antarctica: a review
Continued research In late Palaeozoic palynological biostratigraphy In Australia since about 1970 permits the delineation of a series of informally defined palynostratigraphic... -
Analysis of continental structures using a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of Australia
Colour images of the topography of Australia, generated and manipulated by computer techniques, have been used for analysis of regional geological structures. Discussion is... -
Elevation and gravity profiles across Australia: some implications for tectonism
Twenty sets of elevation and gravity profiles across the Australian continent and its margins were prepared by computer from a data bank of 260 000 observations. Their concise... -
The crustal structure of the Gulf of Papua and northwest Coral Sea
Interpretation of seismic refraction data from the southwestern coast of the Papuan Peninsula and the northwest Coral Sea gives consistent results using several inversion... -
The Transient Electromagnetic Method in Australia
Transient electromagnetic (TEM) test surveys have been made at various localities in Australia to evaluate the method. The test surveys described in this paper were made in the... -
The near-surface sediments of the Scott plateau and Java Trench: nannofossil...
Quaternary sediments are apparently more widespread and better represented in the northern Scott Plateau and Java Trench than in parts of the central Scott Plateau, where older... -
Absolute determinations of gravity in Australia and Papua New Guinea during 1979
A co-operative survey between the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the Australian Bureau of Mineral Resources during 1979 successfully measured the acceleration due to gravity... -
Australian crater-forming meteorites
Meteorites are associated with five impact structures in Australia. Three of them are group IIIAB irons (Wolf Creek, Henbury, and Boxhole), Veevers is a group IIAB iron, and... -
A polygenetic manganese nodule from the Scott Plateau off northwest Australia
A large manganese nodule was dredged from 2100 m on the Scott Plateau by R.V. Valdivia in 1977. It is an irregular ellipsoid, with a maximum dimension of 28 cm, parallel to the... -
Australian magnetic observatories
Magnetic observatories capable of providing long-period results in absolute measures have been operated in Australia and its territories on and off since 1840. As the first such... -
Siderophile and lithophile trace-element evolution of the Archaean mantle
Progressive depletion of several Archaean volcanic sequences in siderophile (Fe, Ti, Mn, V), lithophile (Zr, Sr, P, Y), and chalcophile (Zn, Cu) elements with higher...
