Management of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers in Queensland, Australia
Many Queensland rivers have extensive deltas, which have large reserves of groundwater. These deltas contain fertile land suitable for intense agricultural development with... -
Reef growth, southern Great Barrier Reef - preliminary results
The reefs of the Capricorn-Bunker Group in the southern Great Barrier Reef were the focus of a Bureau of Mineral Resources survey in September-October 1976. Subaerial and... -
Shallow inter-reefal structure of the Capricorn group, southern Great Barrier Reef
276 km of continuous seismic reflection profiles have been obtained from the inter-reef areas of the Capricorn Reefs. Five reflectors were identified, three being widespread:... -
Diagenesis of Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sandstones of the Eromanga Basin...
The Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sandstones of the Eromanga Basin in New South Wales can be divided into quartzose and volcanolithic petrofacies. The latter comprises... -
The determination of suspended-sediment loads in the southern Great Barrier...
A mechanical system for collecting samples of suspended sediment in the water column at various stages of a tidal cycle, together with measurement of tidal current velocities,... -
Growth fabrics and growth rates of Holocene reefs in the Great Barrier Reef
Over the past five years, scientists of the Bureau of Mineral Resources and James Cook University of North Queensland have drilled 61 holes into 24 reefs throughout the Great... -
Early Devonian thelodonts (Agnatha) from the Toko Syncline, western...
Thelodont scales recovered from the basal (calcareous) unit of the Cravens Peak Beds in the Georgina Basin, are referable to Turinia australiensis Gross, 1971, T. cf. pagei... -
The nature and origin of beach ridges, western Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
Two sets of beach ridges are known from the western side of Cape York Peninsula. The older set are thought to be late Pleistocene. They rest on a basement of older fan deposits... -
Suspended-sediment transport and water movement at One Tree Reef, southern...
One Tree Reef, in the southern Great Barrier Reef, is roughly triangular, with the southeast corner forming the windward margin, and the northwest side the leeward margin. In... -
Application of entropy-ratio maps to surficial reef facies, Great Barrier Reef
Entropy-ratio maps enable mapping of surficial facies of coral reefs at any chosen resolution. A ternary classification uses detritus, framework encrustation, and pavement as... -
Thick ferromanganese deposits from the Dampier Ridge and the Lord Howe Rise...
Chemical and mineralogical data are presented for four ferromanganese samples (two nodules and two crusts) from two stations of the West German vessel Sonne. Three samples came... -
Structure and stratigraphy of the central Great Barrier Reef
The Cainozoic evolution of the central Great Barrier Reef Province has been deduced from shallow, intermediate, and deep focus seismic reflection profiling. For much of its... -
Pleistocene to Holocene planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Coral...
Fifteen of 27 potential planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic events from the latest Pliocene-Holocene have been examined; most of the early Pleistocene was not able to be... -
Lord Howe Rise, Tasman Sea - preliminary geophysical results and petroleum prospects
The Lord Howe Rise is a major submarine feature in the Tasman Sea; it extends northwest from the New Zealand continental margin and lies about 600 to 1200 km off the east coast... -
Terrigenous sedimentation in the central Great Barrier Reef lagoon: a model...
The central Great Barrier Reef Province is characterised by a mainland prograding terrigenous clastic shoreline and an inner shelf dominated by fluvially derived mud. The... -
Some aspects of lagoon sedimentation and circulation at One Tree Reef,...
Observations of water movement at One Tree Reef under modal wind, wave, and tide conditions show that the lagoon currents are insufficient to entrain lagoon sediments and cannot... -
Epeiric carbonate sedimentation of the Ninmaroo Formation (Upper...
The Ninmaroo Formation (Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician) is one of several epeiric carbonate sequences in the Georgina Basin. It comprises ooid, peloid, flat-pebble... -
Great Artesian Basin - Geomorphology
This dataset classifies the geomorphological features of the GAB and includes the offshore extents of the GAB beneath the Gulf of Carpentaria. The geomorphological... -
The Great Artesian Basin, Australia
The Great Artesian Basin occupies 1.7 X 10^6 km^2, or about one-fifth of Australia, extending across parts of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern... -
Holocene Palaeo-Environmental changes, central to north Great Barrier Reef inner zone
Fringing reefs and storm ridges, from inner-shelf sites on the Great Barrier Reef between 14° and 20° S, are examined for Holocene sea-level and climatic changes. The sites...
