Submerged banks in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, greatly increase...
Anthropogenic global ocean warming is predicted to cause bleaching of many near-sea-surface (NSS) coral reefs, placing increased importance on deeper reef habitats to maintain... -
Lowstand ramps, fans and deep-water palaeoproterozoic and Mesproterozoic...
The Term, Lawn, Wide and Doom Supersequences represent tectonically driven, second‐order sedimentary accommodation sequences in the Isa Superbasin. The four supersequences are... -
Infaunal biodiversity and ecological function on a remote oceanic island:...
Understanding and predicting the processes determining biological assemblages and marine biodiversity is critical to managing and conserving marine ecosystems. Infauna are a... -
Attenuated basin‐margin sequence stratigraphy of the Palaeoproterozoic...
Sedimentary rocks of the Palaeoproterozoic Calvert and Isa Superbasins are exposed across a large area of northern Australia. Despite the extent of the exposures there is little... -
Chronostratigraphic basin framework for Palaeoproterozoic rocks (1730–1575...
Sequence‐stratigraphic interpretations of outcrop, drillcore, wireline and seismic datasets are integrated with SHRIMP zircon and palaeomagnetic determinations to provide a... -
Siliciclastic shoreline to growth‐faulted, turbiditic sub‐basins: The...
The River Supersequence represents a 2nd‐order accommodation cycle of approximately 15 million years duration in the Isa Superbasin. The River Supersequence comprises eight... -
The tectonostratigraphic history of the Proterozoic Northern Lawn Hill...
The Northern Lawn Hill Platform (NLHP) comprises an area of approximately 16,000 km2 in north-central Australia. Thick packages of Proterozoic strata outcrop in the region,... -
The Kenn Plateau Off Northeast Australia: an Important Continental Fragment...
The submarine Kenn Plateau has an area of about 140,000 km² and lies 500 km east of central Queensland beyond the Marion Plateau. It is one of several thinned continental... -
Seismic velocities in the North West Shelf Region, Australia, from...
A significant limitation of conventional seismic reflection technology is that it poorly constrains seismic velocities in the deep part of the section. These velocities are... -
Characterisation and Correlation of Active Hydrocarbon Seepage using...
For the first time in Australia, active present-day hydrocarbon seepage has been imaged on the tropical carbonate Yampi Shelf, in 50 and 90 m water depth. Seepage features... -
Effect of sewage nutrients on algal production, biomass and species...
Microalgal blooms are one of the most visible responses to anthropogenic nutrient loadings in coastal ecosystems. However, differentiating sources of nutrients causing blooms... -
Seafloor Morphology and Acoustic Facies of the George V Land Shelf
To study the seafloor morpholofy on the George V land shelf, East Antarctica, over 2000 kilometres of high-frequency echo-sounder data were collected between February and March... -
Integrating multibeam sonar and underwater video data to map benthic...
An integrated analysis of biological and geoscientific data collected from the nearshore marine environment of the Vestfold Hills was used to identify benthic habitats and... -
Diatoms Control Nutrient Cycles in a Temperate, Wave-dominated Estuary...
Diatoms are important primary producers within pelagic, benthic end epiphytic communities and their siliceous frustule leads to rapid sinking to the sediment. As a consequence,... -
The challenges of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in stable...
In stable continental regions (SCR) the undertaking of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment remains a scientific and technical challenge. There is no seismo-tectonic model,... -
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... -
Disturbance of Intertidal Sediments: The Response of Bacteria and Foraminifera
Incubation experiments are common in marine experimental studies but the impact on organisms and geochemical parameters is poorly understood. Here, the re-establishment of... -
Denitrification and Denitrifying Efficiencies in Sediments of Port Phillip...
High-precision measurements of N2 in benthic chamber waters indicated that denitrification occurs within the major sedimentary facies in Port Phillip Bay. The integrated fluxes... -
Geophysical Variables as Predictors of Megabenthos Assemblages from the...
The question as to whether geophysical data from habitats can be used to predict the occurrence of benthic biodiversity is becoming more important with the increase in the use... -
Acoustic Structure and Seismic Velocities in the Carnarvon Basin, Australian...
High quality refraction and wide-angle reflection seismic data recorded by ocean-bottom seismographs (OBSs) deployed by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation along the...
