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... -
Australia’s CO2 geological storage potential and matching of emission...
Within the GEODISC program of the Australian Petroleum Cooperative Research Centre (APCRC), Geoscience Australia (GA) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have completed... -
The Kenn Plateau Off Northeast Australia: an Important Continental Fragment...
The submarine Kenn Plateau has an area of about 140,000 km² and lies 500 km east of central Queensland beyond the Marion Plateau. It is one of several thinned continental... -
Flood vulnerability research at Geoscience Australia
Australia has experienced devastating floods in recent years which have resulted in significant financial loss and disruption to communities. Even though flood events have... -
Seismic velocities in the North West Shelf Region, Australia, from...
A significant limitation of conventional seismic reflection technology is that it poorly constrains seismic velocities in the deep part of the section. These velocities are... -
Characterisation and Correlation of Active Hydrocarbon Seepage using...
For the first time in Australia, active present-day hydrocarbon seepage has been imaged on the tropical carbonate Yampi Shelf, in 50 and 90 m water depth. Seepage features... -
Effect of sewage nutrients on algal production, biomass and species...
Microalgal blooms are one of the most visible responses to anthropogenic nutrient loadings in coastal ecosystems. However, differentiating sources of nutrients causing blooms... -
A GPS, VLBI and local tie inter-comparison: first results for the Australian...
AuScope is part of the Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) and has the objective of upgrading the accuracy of the terrestrial... -
Seafloor Morphology and Acoustic Facies of the George V Land Shelf
To study the seafloor morpholofy on the George V land shelf, East Antarctica, over 2000 kilometres of high-frequency echo-sounder data were collected between February and March... -
Middle Cambrian chemostratigraphy and biostratigraphy in the southern...
The Georgina Basin is a Neoproterozoic to Lower Devonian sedimentary basin covering 325,000 km2 of western Queensland and the Northern Territory. It is a northwest-southeast-... -
A short user guide for UBC-GIF gravity and magnetic inversions
Obtaining reliable predictions of the subsurface will provide a critical advantage for explorers seeking mineral deposits at depth and beneath cover. A common approach in... -
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... -
Caprock Systems for CO2 Geological Storage
Assessment of caprock systems will be highly site-specific and rely on a multi-disciplinary approach, utilising a combination of seismic surveys, exploration wells, wireline log... -
ICSM LiDAR Acquisition Specifications and Tender Template Version 1.0
Digital elevation data which describes Australia's landforms and seabed is crucial for addressing issues relating to the impacts of climate change, disaster management, water... -
Preliminary Results from Marine Seismic Survey GA302 over Capel and Faust Basins
Data from 50 sonobuoys were recorded over the Capel and Faust Basins, 800 km to the east of Australia in water depths 1500-2000 m, during a 2006 seismic survey (GA302) for... -
VLBI2020: from Reality to Vision
The individual apparent motions of distant radio sources are believed to be caused by the effect of intrinsic structure variations of the active galactic nuclei (AGN). However,... -
Application of the Theory of General Relativity to the reduction of geodetic...
In this paper we present an alternate formula for calculating gravitational time delay. We use this formula to reduce geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data,... -
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... -
Diatoms Control Nutrient Cycles in a Temperate, Wave-dominated Estuary...
Diatoms are important primary producers within pelagic, benthic end epiphytic communities and their siliceous frustule leads to rapid sinking to the sediment. As a consequence,... -
The challenges of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in stable...
In stable continental regions (SCR) the undertaking of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment remains a scientific and technical challenge. There is no seismo-tectonic model,...
