This study presents new information on the regional geochemical characteristics of deep-sea floor sediments (1300 - 2423 m water depth) on the Lord Howe Rise (deep-sea plateau)... -
Biogeography of the Lord Howe Rise region, Tasman Sea
In this review we aim to synthesise physical and biological information on the Lord Howe Rise (LHR) region to describe its biogeography at a regional scale (100s of kilometres)... -

Benthic Foraminifera as Environmental Indicators in Torres Strait - Gulf of...
Three areas in the Torres Strait-Gulf of Papua region were selected for detailed study of sediments and benthic fossil biota. These areas form a transect across the shelf from... -
History of benthic colonisation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community which has developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf in East... -
The application of physical surrogates as tools for benthic habitat mapping:...
The identification of marine habitats based on physical parameters is increasingly important for marine reserve design, allowing characterisation of habitat types over much... -
Improving our Knowledge of Australia's Near-pristine Estuaries
The central aim of the Comparative Geomorphology of Estuaries Project of the Coastal CRC was to improve our understanding of Australia's near-pristine estuaries. As the title... -
