Shedding light on the seafloor
In 2007-08 scientists from Australia, Japan and France set out to survey the marine life and habitats in the region adjacent to Terre Adelie and George V Land in East Antarctica... -
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)... -
Coastal and Estuarine Studies: Interactions between Macro- and...
Marine sediments support complex interactions between macro- and microorganisms. What is the state of the science on such interactions from costal and estuarine environments to... -
On the Use of Abiotic Surrogates to Describe Marine Benthic Biodiversity
A growing need to manage marine biodiversity at local, regional and global scales cannot be met by applying the limited existing biological data sets. Abiotic surrogacy is... -
Siliciclastic shoreline to growth‐faulted, turbiditic sub‐basins: The...
The River Supersequence represents a 2nd‐order accommodation cycle of approximately 15 million years duration in the Isa Superbasin. The River Supersequence comprises eight... -
Infaunal biodiversity and ecological function on a remote oceanic island:...
Understanding and predicting the processes determining biological assemblages and marine biodiversity is critical to managing and conserving marine ecosystems. Infauna are a... -
Australia's Near-pristine Estuaries: Current Knowledge and Management
The purpose of this investigation was to collate previously disparate information on near-pristine estuaries and make it widely available for use by managers, researchers,... -
Lithofacies distribution in relation to the geomorphic provinces of Prydz...
Over the past 15 years, Japanese, Australian and Russian expeditions to Prydz Bay have collected about 30 000 kilometrs of bathymetric data, 6 000 kilometres of sidescan sonar... -
Interactions between Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Sedimentological...
Australia is an island continenet extending from tropical to midlatitude waters with an Exclusive Economic Zone of some 8.6 million square kilometres. Its regional seas are... -
d18O Seasonality of Planktonic Foraminifera from Southern Ocean Sediment...
The oxygen isotopic record obtained from Globigerina bulloides, Globorotalia inflata, and Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (s.) was analysed for 5 sediment traps moored in the... -
Surface and Sub-surface Geology and the Role of Basement Structure in the...
The Capel and Faust basins are part of the northern Lord Howe Rise, offshore eastern Australia. These frontier basins formed during the initial phases of extension leading to... -
Nutrient dynamics and pelagic primary production in coastal creeks...
This report describes the investigations into the coastal creek system conducted within the Fitzroy agricultural contaminants project. Before this work started there had been... -
Ripple cross-laminated sediments on the East Antarctic Shelf: evidence for...
Biosiliceous sediments sampled from a submarine valley system on the continental shelf of East Antarctica contain intervals of ripple cross-lamination interspersed with... -
The Geology of a Large Submerged Continental Block: the Kenn Plateau Off...
In general, we met the scientific objective of this voyage in improving our understanding of the geological evolution and modern environmental setting of the poorly known Kenn... -
Chemical, Biological and Hydrological Controls on the 14C Content of Cold...
Understanding the hydrology of cold seep environments is crucial to perform accurate estimates of fluid and chemical fluxes at sedimentary wedges. Shallow convection processes... -
Disturbance of Intertidal Sediments: The Response of Bacteria and Foraminifera
Incubation experiments are common in marine experimental studies but the impact on organisms and geochemical parameters is poorly understood. Here, the re-establishment of... -
Capricorn and northern Tasman Basins: Structure and Depositional Systems
The Bureau of Mineral Resources completed a major marine multi-channel seismic reflection survey (MCS) off southeast Queensland in December 1989. The research cruise, using RV... -
Rift Evolution in the Capel and Faust Basins, Offshore Eastern Australia,...
The Capel and Faust basins are located on the northern Lord Howe Rise between eastern Australia and New Caledonia in water depths of 1300-2500 m. Under the Australian... -
A 1500 Year Record of Coastal Sediment Accumulation Preserved in Beach...
In this study of the beach-ridge plain at Keppel Bay, on the central coast of Queensland, we examine ridge morphology, sediment texture and geochemistry. We build a detailed... -
Sediment characteristics influencing benthic biodiversity across a tropical...
Geoscience Australia undertook seabed mapping surveys in the eastern Bonaparte Gulf in 2009/2010 to deliver integrated information relevant to marine biodiversity conservation...
