WAMSI Node 3.4.2 - Characterisation of Geomorphology and Sedimentology of Ningaloo Reef
The overall aim of this project was to determine the geomorphological and sedimentary characteristics (biological and physical) of the Ningaloo Reef and shelf, and to identify... -
Short-Lived Radium Isotopes and Hydrodynamic Surface Water Modelling in the Surface Layer of Cockburn Sound W.A.
In late winter 2003, early summer 2003, late summer 2004, and mid-winter 2004 water samples were taken for radium isotope analysis which was combined with modelling to determine... -
Seagrass, sediment and infauna - a comparison of Posidonia australis, Posidonia sinuosa and Amphibolis antarctica, Princess Royal Harbour, South-Western Australia I. Seagrass biomass, productivity and contribution to sediments
The above- and below-ground biomass of three seagrass species, Posidonia australis, Posidonia sinuosa and Amphibolis antarctica, were measured within Princess Royal Harbour.... -
Radium Isotopes Reveal Seasonal Groundwater Inputs to Cockburn Sound, Western Australia
The mass balance and activity ratios of naturally occuring radium (Ra) isotopes (223Ra, 224Ra, 226Ra, 228Ra) were investigated in Cockburn Sound, W.A. to further understand... -
Natural Attenuation of Nitrogen in Groundwater Discharging through a Sandy Beach
Changes in horizontal nitrogen (N) concentrations in predischarge groundwater were sampled in a profile of nutrient contaminated groundwater in a shallow sandy beach next to... -
Global Climatology and Atlantic Ocean Atlas
The WOCE Global Hydrographic Climatology WGHC (published as BSH Report 35, 2004) provides a consistent and coherent hydrographic gridded full depth data set on 45 depth levels... -
Geometry and grain-size sorting of ripples on low-energy sandy beaches: field observations and model predications
Ripple height, length and sediment composition were measured in the nearshore of several low-energy beaches with concurrent measurements of incident waves. The distribution of... -
Experimental Manipulation of Canopy Density in a Temperate Seagrass [Amphibolis griffithii (Black) den Hartog] Meadow: Effects on Sediments
Thirty 3 m diameter plots were established in Warnbro Sound, Western Australia in early 1991, within an Amphibolis griffithii meadow, and the shoot densities manipulated to 0,... -
Distribution of nearshore bedforms and effects on sand suspension on low-energy, micro-tidal beaches in SW Australia
Field measurements of bed morphologies, hydrodynamics and sediment suspension were made on 15 low energy (Hsig < 0.50 m) micro-tidal sheltered sandy beaches in SW Australia. -
Cockburn Sound Management Council - Environmental Quality Management Program (irregular)
Cockburn Sound Management Council (CSMC) coordinates and undertakes irregular monitoring programs in Cockburn Sound, Western Australia. For example, it coordinates toxicants in... -
Bedform Migration and Sediment Dynamics in the Nearshore of a Low-Energy Sandy Beach in SouthWestern Australia
Simultaneous time series measurements of waves, currents, sediment suspension and ripple crest positions were obtained from the nearshore of a micro-tidal low energy beach in... -
AuSEABED
The auSEABED was created by Dr. Chris Jenkins, a former staff member of School of Geoscience, to describe the materials of the Australian Maritime Region - in all, an area... -
WAMSI Node 3.4.1 - Reef Morphology and Growth History – Eastern Ningaloo Reef (Exmouth Gulf) Development and demise of a fringing coral reef during Holocene environmental change, eastern Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia
The growth history component (WAMSI Node 3.4.1) was to specifically characterise the morphology and growth history of the Ningaloo Reef system, to provide an insight into and...
