Quaternary Sediment Cores from the Southern Fairway Basin on the Northern...
Thick packages of Cretaceous and Tertiary sediment with numerous diapirs fill the Southern Fairway Basin (SFB) on the Lord Howe Rise (LHR). A bottom-simulating reflector (BSR)... -
MODIS Derived Sea Surface Temperature dataset: Seasonal Means
The dataset measures the long-term seasonal means of the sea surface temperature (SST) of ocean surface waters. They are derived from MODIS (aqua) images using NASA's SeaDAS... -

The Tantangara and Brindabella 1:100 000 Sheet areas cover 5030 km2 between latitudes 35' and 36°S and longitudes 148°30' and 149°E, in the southern part of the Lachlan Fold... -
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... -
Potential impacts of marine seismic surveys on fish & invertebrates
The extent to which low-frequency sound from marine seismic surveys impacts marine fauna is a subject of growing concern. The predominant frequency range of seismic airgun... -
Sediment Mobility due to currents and waves in the Torres Strait - Gulf of...
The MECO hydrodynamic model was adapted for the Torres Strait - Gulf of Papua region at 0.051 resolution. Validation of the hydrodynamic model was carried out against observed... -
Beryllium isotope signatures of ice shelves and sub-ice shelf circulation
Be isotopes are a useful tracer of sediment source and transport pathways but have not been widely tested in glacio-marine environments. We measured Be isotopes in a range of... -
First Acreage Release in Frontier Mentelle Basin
In 2010 the Australian Government offered for the first time a large exploration block for acreage release in the frontier Mentelle Basin. This large sedimentary basin (36, 000... -
Australian National Gravity Data Collection
Gravity data measure small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The gravity data collection contains both onshore and offshore... -
An integrated approach to assessing marine seismic impacts: Lessons learnt...
Marine seismic surveys are a fundamental tool for geological research, including the exploration of offshore oil and gas resources, but the sound generated during these surveys... -
