Growth fabrics and growth rates of Holocene reefs in the Great Barrier Reef
Over the past five years, scientists of the Bureau of Mineral Resources and James Cook University of North Queensland have drilled 61 holes into 24 reefs throughout the Great... -
Late Cretaceous-Palaeogene nannofossil biostratigraphy of Challenger No. 1...
Late Cretaceous-Palaeogene calcareous nannofossil assemblages from the mainly carbonate section in Challenger No. 1 well, above the 780m level, have some similarities with the... -
Glacially grooved surfaces in the Grant Group, Grant Range, Canning Basin...
Grooved surfaces in Late Palaeozoic Grant Group rocks in the central Grant Range were cut by glacial ice. The orientation of the grooves and small step-like sedimentary... -
Seabed mapping using multibeam swath-mapping systems: an essential...
Swath-mapping of the seabed started soon after the Second World War, with small towed sidescan sonars providing images and built-in multi beam sonars providing bathymetry... -
Gradational benthic marine communities in the Early Carboniferous...
Four benthic marine fossil commumtles are recognised in faunas of the Rhipidomella fortimuscula brachiopod Zone of late Visean (Early Carboniferous) age using multivariate... -
Holocene Palaeo-Environmental changes, central to north Great Barrier Reef inner zone
Fringing reefs and storm ridges, from inner-shelf sites on the Great Barrier Reef between 14° and 20° S, are examined for Holocene sea-level and climatic changes. The sites... -

Devonian fish remains from Billiluna, eastern Canning Basin, Western Australia
Fragmentary remains of Devonian fishes are described from the Knobby Sandstone, a thick non-marine clastic formation in the eastern Canning Basin, which is a potential petroleum... -
Early Devonian thelodonts (Agnatha) from the Toko Syncline, western...
Thelodont scales recovered from the basal (calcareous) unit of the Cravens Peak Beds in the Georgina Basin, are referable to Turinia australiensis Gross, 1971, T. cf. pagei... -
Source rock potential and hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Darling Basin, NSW
Available geological and geophysical data for the dominantly Devonian Darling Basin of western New South Wales indicate a high risk for petroleum exploration. Hydrocarbon... -
Relative fall of Holocene sea level and coastal progradation, northeastern...
The levels of intertidal environments of prograding Holocene coastal complexes of northeast Spencer Gulf have been precisely measured and their relation with the tidal range... -
Management of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers in Queensland, Australia
Many Queensland rivers have extensive deltas, which have large reserves of groundwater. These deltas contain fertile land suitable for intense agricultural development with... -

Salinity of deep formation water in the Canning Basin, Western Australia
Salinity of deep formation water in the Canning Basin, estimated from well log data or measured on water samples from oil-production wells and drill stem tests, ranges from... -

Spectral representation of isostatic models
The development of cross-spectral techniques for investigating the relation between gravity and topography has led to the representation of isostatic processes in terms of... -
Significance of calcareous nannofossil-bearing Jurassic and Cretaceous...
Examination of dredge hauls taken from the Rowley Terrace, northwest Australia, has revealed the occurrence of several Mesozoic nannofossil-bearing levels. Dating has been... -
The Great Artesian Basin, Australia
The Great Artesian Basin occupies 1.7 X 10^6 km^2, or about one-fifth of Australia, extending across parts of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern... -
The Maastrichtian and early Tertiary record of the Great Australian Bight...
Samples dredged during BMR Survey 66 by KV, Rig Seismic in the central Great Australian Bight Basin are examined and their calcareous nannofossils are recorded. The...
