Application of entropy-ratio maps to surficial reef facies, Great Barrier Reef
Entropy-ratio maps enable mapping of surficial facies of coral reefs at any chosen resolution. A ternary classification uses detritus, framework encrustation, and pavement as... -
Terrigenous sedimentation in the central Great Barrier Reef lagoon: a model...
The central Great Barrier Reef Province is characterised by a mainland prograding terrigenous clastic shoreline and an inner shelf dominated by fluvially derived mud. The... -
Palaeomagnetism and mineral exploration related studies in Australia: a...
Recent improvements to Australian apparent polar wander paths for the different geological periods allow palaeomagnetic analysis to contribute increasingly to reconstruction of... -
Gravity provinces and their nomenclature
Gravity features have been defined and named by the various authors who have interpreted the results of land and marine reconnaissance gravity surveys in Australia. In general,... -
Terranes and the accretion history of the New Guinea orogen
The New Guinea orogen consists of a southern part that was formerly the northern edge of the Australia craton and a northern part that consists of at least thirty-two... -
The Stratigraphic and Tectonic development of the Manokwari Area, Irian Jaya
The Manokwari area lies in the northeastern extremity of the Kepala Burung region in the western part of Irian Jaya. In 1976 the area was investigated at the start of an ongoing... -
A sabkha model for the deposition of part of the Proterozoic McArthur Group...
Abundant pseudomorphs and relicts of gypsum, anhydrite, and halite occur in the Mallapunyah Formation and Amelia Dolomite of the Proterozoic McArthur Group of the Northern... -
Free-air anomaly and gravity maps of Australia - in colour, 1:25,000,000
On the following pages are a Free-air Anomaly Map of Australia and a Gravity Map of Australia (showing Bouguer anomalies on land and free-air anomalies at sea), both at a scale... -
Zircons in the granitic rocks of southeastern South Australia
A morphological study of zircons from the granitic rocks of southeastern South Australia has been made using reduced major axes, length/breadth ratios, colour, zoning and other... -
The Condamine Valley groundwater monitoring network, southeast Queensland
The Upper Condamine Valley has been selected for the first stage of an ambient water-quality monitoring network for Queensland. This important agricultural region in the... -
The development of the continental shelf of northern New South Wales
Shallow seismic reflection profiling on the continental shelf of northern New South Wales shows a lens of sediments which thickens beneath the mid-shelf, but usually thins... -
Resistivity methods in the search for groundwater, Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
On the western side of Cape York Peninsula, north Queensland (Fig. 1), in the Weipa-Aurukum area, surface water supplies are seasonal, and mining and pastoral development relies... -
The evolution of One Tree Reef, Southern Great Barrier Reef, Queensland
One Tree Reef is one of fourteen reefs in the Capricorn Group, southern Great Barrier Reef. The reef has an asymmetrical triangular shape, 5.5 km long and 3 km wide, with a... -
Precambrian hydrocarbons in the McArthur Basin, NT
An oily liquid and several types of bitumen were found in the silicified porous carbonate-rich Looking Glass Formation, in a BMR stratigraphic hole drilled in the Proterozoic... -
Three large intraplate earthquakes near Tennant Creek, Northern Territory,...
Following a yearlong series of foreshocks, extensive surface faulting accompanied an extraordinary sequence of earthquakes in the Precambrian shield of central Australia on 22... -
The Iverian, a proposed Late Cambrian Stage, and its subdivision in the...
The Iverian Stage is proposed for the concept of a post-Idamean/pre-Payntonian, Late Cambrian, interval in the eastern Georgina Basin, western Queensland. Designation and... -
