Integrating multibeam sonar and underwater video data to map benthic...
An integrated analysis of biological and geoscientific data collected from the nearshore marine environment of the Vestfold Hills was used to identify benthic habitats and... -
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... -
Petroleum prospectivity and CO2 storage assessment in the offshore Browse...
Under the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP) and the National Low Emissions Coal Initiative (NLECI), Geoscience Australia undertook multi-purpose basin analysis to address... -
Implications of sponge biodiversity patterns for the management of a marine...
Marine reserves are becoming progressively more important as anthropogenic impacts continue to increase, but we have little baseline information for most marine environments. In... -
The Magnitude and Frequency of Combined Flow Bed Shear Stress as a Measure...
Benthic habitats on the continental shelf are strongly influenced by exposure to the effects of surface ocean waves, and tidal, wind and density driven ocean currents. These... -
Unconventional hydrocarbons - Australia's old rocks prove their worth
Australia’s search for petroleum began in the onshore basins where extensive areas of Paleozoic marine sequences, with some high-quality source rock intervals and spectacular... -
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... -
Cenozoic Volcanism of the Capel-Faust Basins, Northern Lord Howe Rise
A recent survey by Geoscience Australia acquired new exploration data and samples in the frontier offshore Lord Hose Rise (LHR) Capel-Faust region. This survey identified a... -
Submerged banks in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, greatly increase...
Anthropogenic global ocean warming is predicted to cause bleaching of many near-sea-surface (NSS) coral reefs, placing increased importance on deeper reef habitats to maintain... -
Lowstand ramps, fans and deep-water palaeoproterozoic and Mesproterozoic...
The Term, Lawn, Wide and Doom Supersequences represent tectonically driven, second‐order sedimentary accommodation sequences in the Isa Superbasin. The four supersequences are... -
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... -
Attenuated basin‐margin sequence stratigraphy of the Palaeoproterozoic...
Sedimentary rocks of the Palaeoproterozoic Calvert and Isa Superbasins are exposed across a large area of northern Australia. Despite the extent of the exposures there is little... -
Chronostratigraphic basin framework for Palaeoproterozoic rocks (1730–1575...
Sequence‐stratigraphic interpretations of outcrop, drillcore, wireline and seismic datasets are integrated with SHRIMP zircon and palaeomagnetic determinations to provide a... -
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... -
Secular aberration drift and IAU definition of International Celestial...
The gravitational attraction of the Galactic Centre leads to the centrifugal acceleration of the Solar system barycentre. It results in secular aberration drift which displaces... -
Four-dimensional connectivity modelling with application to Australia's...
A fully four-dimensional (3D × time) object-oriented biophysical dispersal model was developed to simulate the movement of marine larvae over semi-continuous surfaces. The model... -
The tectonostratigraphic history of the Proterozoic Northern Lawn Hill...
The Northern Lawn Hill Platform (NLHP) comprises an area of approximately 16,000 km2 in north-central Australia. Thick packages of Proterozoic strata outcrop in the region,... -
The Potential for Geological Sequestration of CO2 in Australia: Preliminary...
Many industries and researchers have been examining ways of substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions. No single method is likely to be a panacea, although some options do... -
Bremer and Vlaming Release Areas: New Exploration Opportunities from...
In May 2003, the Australian Government announced A$61 million in funding for Geoscience Australia’s New Petroleum Program. This four-year program aims to develop new exploration... -
Projection-Independent Earth-Solar-Sensor Geometry for Surface Reflectance Correction
We present a novel method for calculating Earth-solar-sensor geometry for remote sensing data in an arbitrary map projection. The geometry algorithm uses a recursive bisection...
