Estimating global shelf sediment mobility due to swell waves
Global climate models, such as those produced at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, generate data that are relevant to the study of marine sedimentary... -
Benthic Marine Bioregionalisation of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone: A...
The benthic (sea floor) component of the National Marine Bioregionalisation covers the 80% of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone that lies beyond the continental shelf break.... -
Leg 189 Synthesis: Cretaceous-Holocene History of the Tasmanian Gateway
Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 189 drilled five sites in bathyal depths on submerged continental blocks in the Tasmanian Gateway, to help refine the hypothesis that its... -
Beyond Corals and Fish: The Effects of Climate Change on Noncoral Benthic...
Climate change is threatening tropical reefs across the world, with most scientists agreeing that the current changes in climate conditions are occurring at a much faster rate... -
Wind Generated Tool Marks Resembling Trace Fossils in a Shallow Estuarine Environment
A suite of tool marks were observed in the seaward section of a small estuary on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The marks were formed through wind dragging... -
The Influence of Geomorphology and Sedimentary Processes on Shallow-water...
The mapping of seabed environments is fundamental to successful fisheries management and environmental monitoring, however, there is an emerging need to better characterise... -
A Framework for Modelling Shoreline Response to Clustered Storm Events: Case...
Coastal communities in Australia are particularly exposed to coincident natural hazards, whereby tropical cyclones and extra-tropical storms cause damage to infrastructure and... -
Biomarker Evidence for Green and Purple Sulphur Bacteria in a Stratified...
The disappearance of iron formations from the geological record ~1.8 billion years (Gyr) ago was the consequence of rising oxygen levels in the atmosphere starting 2.45-2.32 Gyr... -

The Morphology of Barchan-shaped Sand Banks from Western Torres Strait,...
Large barchan shaped sand deposits have been observed in the north west of Torres Strait. These deposits share characteristics of both subaerial barchan dunes and subaqueous... -
Carpentaria - Mt Isa Zinc Belt: basement framework, chronostratigraphy and...
Palaeoproterozoic sedimentary rocks of the McArthur-Mt Isa-Cloncurry mineral belt of northern Australia host the world's most important zinc repository, several world-class Cu-... -
Sedimenary Processes in the Wilkes Land Margin: A Record of Cenozoic East...
Multichannel seismic data collected off Wilkes Land (East Antarctica) reveal four main units that represent distinct phases in the evolution of the Cenozoic depositional... -
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... -
Fitzroy River Basin, Queensland, Australia. III. Identification of Sediment...
Sediment sources to the Fitzroy River coastal zone have been identified and quantified using an integrated geochemical and modelling approach. Geochemical data indicate a... -
Geomorphology and Evolution of the Gigantic Murray Canyons on the Australian...
The Murray Canyons are a group of deeply-incised submarine canyons on a steep 400-km section of the continental slope off Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Some of the canyons... -
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... -
Processes controlling the formation of the Mertz Drift, George Vth...
Recently discovered drift deposits on the Antarctic continental shelf provide access to information on the Holocene palaeoceanography of the bottom current regime within deep... -
A Crustal Transect between Precambrian Australia and the Timor Trough across...
Wide-angle seismic data from ocean bottom seismographs, together with gravity and deep marine reflection profiling data along the Vulcan transect in northern Australia, define... -
Rates of Shoreline Progradation During the Last 1,700 Years at Beachmere,...
The morphology and chronostratigraphy of seven beach ridges at Beachmere, southeastern Queensland, Australia, provide a record of changes in shoreline accretion and relative sea... -
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...
