Progress towards an understanding of tsunami risk in NSW
Tsunamis pose considerable risk to coastal communities around the globe and understanding this risk is a key aspect of emergency management and risk reduction. This paper... -
Major achievements of the comparative geomorphology of estuaries project
Australia's near-pristine estuaries are some of our most valuable natural assets, with many natural and cultural heritage values. They are important as undisturbed habitat for... -
Bedload Sediment Transport Dynamics in a Macrotidal Embayment, and...
Keppel Bay is a macrotidal embayment on a tectonically stable, tropical coast, which links the Fitzroy River with the Great Barrier Reef continental shelf. Estuaries and deltas... -
Development, Composition and Age of Indurated Sand Layers in the Late...
Indurated sand is commonly found in Quaternary coastal deposits in a range of temperate and tropical environments. These horizons can record past regionally significant phases... -
Denitrification and Denitrifying Efficiencies in Sediments of Port Phillip...
High-precision measurements of N2 in benthic chamber waters indicated that denitrification occurs within the major sedimentary facies in Port Phillip Bay. The integrated fluxes... -
Potential field and bathymetry grids of Australia's margins
The Australian Geological Survey Organistaion, in co-operation with Desmond Fitzgerald and Associates and the Australian Hydrographic Service, has produced a set of digital... -
Seasonal Changes in Major Ions, Nutrients and Chlorophyll a at two Sites in...
Seasonal variations in major ions, nutrients and chlorophyll a were examined at two sites in the upper reaches of the Swan River estuary, Western Australia. Intra-annual... -
The Haines Structure: A Probable Eocene Complex Impact Structure in the...
A seismic structure imaged in a single 2D seismic profile from the offshore Canning Basin, Western Australia, is interpreted to be a possible complex impact crater on the basis... -
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... -
Geophysical Variables as Predictors of Megabenthos Assemblages from the...
The question as to whether geophysical data from habitats can be used to predict the occurrence of benthic biodiversity is becoming more important with the increase in the use... -
Visualising coastal seabed characteristics: using VRML models to present...
Geoscience Australia has produced free Web-viewable 3D models of coastal data, for sharing data and information with project partners and coastal zone stakeholders. The models... -
A Review of the Cenozoic Stratigraphy and Glacial History of the Lambert...
The Cenozoic glacial history of East Antarctica is recorded in part by the stratigraphy of the Prydz Bay-Lambert Graben region. The glacigene strata and associated erosion... -
Geoscience Australia's Southwest Margin Geophysical Surveys
The Australian Government's five year (2006-2011) Offshore Energy Security Program aims to encourage the discovery of new hydrocarbon resources in Australia's vast offshore... -
Quaternary Aminostratigraphy of Eolianite on Lord Howe Island, Southwest...
Amino acid racemization (AAR) dating of the eolianite on Lord Howe Island is used to correlate several disparate successions and provides a geochronological framework that... -
Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources
The Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources (SMCGR) project aims to improve the management of groundwater in coastal dune aquifers, which is used to supply water... -
Statistical modelling of extreme ocean climate with incorporation of storm clustering
Knowledge of extreme ocean climate is essential for the accurate assessment of coastal hazards to facilitate risk informed decision making in coastal planning and management.... -
Physical Controls on Deep Water Coral Communities on the George V Land...
Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope at 570 - 950 m off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The... -
Towards spatially distributed quantitative assessment of tsunami inundation models
In this paper a new benchmark for tsunami model validation is pro- posed. The benchmark is based upon the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which provides a uniquely large amount of... -
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... -
Geology-benthos Relationships on a Temperate Rocky Bank, Eastern Bass...
To better understand the possible relationships between the geology of the seabed and the associated biological communities, a multibeam sonar survey over New Zealand Star Bank...
