Deep-water demersal fishes are an important component of continental shelf and slope ecosystems and play an important role in the economies of many countries. Strong and... -
Novel method to concurrently sample the planktobenthos and benthos
The planktobenthos is an important area with unique environmental conditions and represents the immediate link between the benthos and the water column. Despite its close links... -
High Seas Marine Protected Areas: Benthic environmental conservation...
In order to design a representative network of high seas marine protected areas (MPAs), an acceptable scheme is required to classify the benthic bioregions of the oceans. Given... -

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... -
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... -
Inter-reefal seabed sediments and geomorphology of the Great Barrier Reef, a...
Inter-reefal (i.e. non-reefal) seabed environments have been much less studied than the coral reefs, however they comprise 95% of the total Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Marine Park... -
Seascapes for the Australian Margin and Adjacent Seabed
Seascapes describing a layer of ecologically meaningful biophysical variable that spatially represent potential seabed habitats have been derived for the Australian margin and... -
