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... -
Involvement of government organisations in geochemical surveys in Australia
A Workshop was held at the end of the 7th BMR Symposium in May 1978 on what the involvement of government organisations in Australia should be in geochemical surveys. This... -
Environmental and urban geology in Australia: workshop meeting of government...
Environmental and urban geology is an expanding field in which the government geological surveys are inevitably becoming more involved. Throughout the world, pressures for urban... -
The gravity field of offshore Australia
The free-air anomaly field of offshore Australia has been divided into about fifty regional gravity provinces, each of which is characterized by uniformity of trend, free-air... -
Datasets for use with the Recharge-Discharge Estimator Suite spreadsheets
Determination of an accurate groundwater balance for a region requires estimation of recharge and discharge rates and, where possible, knowledge of their spatial distribution.... -
A geophysical profile across Australia at 29°S
Long wave-length components of the gravity and magnetic fields, topography, and heat-flow data, are examined along a trans-continent profile close to 29°S. The profile crosses... -
Geoscientific investigations from the Scott Plateau off northwest Australia...
In 1977 the R.V. Valdivia carried out a survey between Scott Plateau and the Java Trench, during which 1700 km of 24-channel seismic data, and 2550 km of bathymetric, gravity... -
What maps are needed now?
A panel discussion was held during the Sixth BMR Symposium in Canberra in May 1977, on what earth-science maps are needed now in Australia. This account gives background... -
Regional plate tectonics and the evolution of Australia's passive continental margins
The divergent, passive continental margins around Australia have evolved through the progressive dissection of eastern Gondwanaland in five separate seafloor-spreading episodes....
