Geomorphological Evolution of Lord Howe Island and Carbonate Production at...
Lord Howe Island is a volcanic island, rising to over 800 m, draped with Late Quaternary submarine and subaerial carbonate sediments. The island and neighbouring islets lie... -
Bathymetric Expression of the Fitzroy River Palaeochannel: Implications for...
We report the presence of a prominent bathymetric expression of the Fitzroy River palaeochannel on the continental shelf of the southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia. The... -
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... -
Submerged Coral Reefs in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia
We report the discovery of three submerged, living patch coral reefs covering 80 km2 in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia, an area previously thought not to contain... -
Using Inherent Optical Properties to Investigate Biogeochemical Dynamics in...
The variability in the inherent optical properties along an estuary-coast-ocean continuum in tropical Australia has been studied. The study area, the Fitzroy Estuary and Keppel... -
Introduction to 'Antarctic Cenozoic Palaeoenvironments: Geologic Record and Models'
The Antarctic region has profoundly affected the global climates of the past 50 million years, influencing sea levels, atmospheric composition and dynamics, and ocean... -
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... -
Topographic Controls on Post-Oligocene Changes in Ice-sheet Dynamics, Prydz...
Within the general trend of post-Eocene cooling, the largest and oldest outlet of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet underwent a change from ice-cliff to ice-stream and/or ice-shelf... -
Leg 189 Synthesis: Cretaceous-Holocene History of the Tasmanian Gateway
Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 189 drilled five sites in bathyal depths on submerged continental blocks in the Tasmanian Gateway, to help refine the hypothesis that its... -
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... -
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... -
Comment on Dye (2006) - "Is Geomorphic Zonation a Useful Predictor of...
In a recent paper, Dye (2006) analyzed the distribution of species of macrobenthos and meiobenthos within two geomorphic facies of four small intermittently closed and open... -
Chemical Diversity in South-eastern Australian Saline Lakes II: Biotic Implications
This study explores how differences in ionic composition of south-eastern Australian saline lake waters, caused by path differentiation according to the Eugster-Jones-Hardie... -
A Crustal Transect between Precambrian Australia and the Timor Trough across...
Wide-angle seismic data from ocean bottom seismographs, together with gravity and deep marine reflection profiling data along the Vulcan transect in northern Australia, define... -
Cyclone-induced Net Sediment Transport Pathway on the Continental Shelf of...
Tropical cyclones affect storm-dominated sediment transport processes that characterise Holocene shelf deposits in many shelf environments. In this paper, we describe the... -
New Quartz SAR-OSL Ages from the Stranded Beach Dune Sequence in South-east...
A sequence of stranded coastal barriers in south-east South Australia preserves a record of sea-level variations over the past 800 ka. Huntley et al. (Quat. Sci. Rev. 12 (1993a)... -
Tidally Incised Valleys on Tropical Carbonate Shelves: An Example from the...
The formation of incised valleys on continental shelves is generally attributed to fluvial erosion under low sea level conditions. However, there are exceptions. A multibeam... -
A New High-resolution Depth Model for the Terre Adélie and George V Shelf...
Abstract: The Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census (CEAMARC) surveys to the Terre Adélie and George V shelf and margin highlight the requirement for a revised high... -
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... -
Composition and Distribution of Seabed and Suspended Sediments in North and...
Widespread seagrass dieback in central Torres Strait, Australia has been anecdotally linked to the delivery of vast quantities of terrigenous sediments from New Guinea. The...
