Several gravity cores from the west (3), south (3) and east (5) Australian continental margin have been sampled and analysed for magnetic susceptibility, percent calcium... -
Seabed Mud Content Across the Australian Continental EEZ, 2011
This dataset provides the spatially continuous data of seabed mud content (sediment fraction < 63 µm) expressed as a weight percentage ranging from 0 to 100%, presented in... -
Geomorphology of the Australian Margin and Adjacent Seafloor
For the first time, the distribution of seafloor geomorphic features has been systematically mapped over much of the Australian margin and adjacent seafloor. Each of 21 feature... -
On the Use of Abiotic Surrogates to Describe Marine Benthic Biodiversity
A growing need to manage marine biodiversity at local, regional and global scales cannot be met by applying the limited existing biological data sets. Abiotic surrogacy is... -
Applications of Geophysical Information to the Design of a Representative...
Management of the marine environment in Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone is addressed by an Oceans Policy that was put forward by the government in 1998. The policy is being... -
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... -
