Rates of seismogenic landscape change in intraplate Australia
Australia is one of the lowest, flattest, most arid, and most slowly eroding continents on Earth (Quigley et al. 2010). The average elevation of the continent is only c. 330 m... -
Comparison of earthquake source spectra and attenuation in eastern North...
The paucity of ground-motion data in Stable Continental Regions (SCRs) remains a key limitation when developing relations that seek to predict effects of strong ground-shaking... -
Structural and Stratigraphic Architecture of Australia's Frontier Onshore...
Over the last five years, the Onshore Energy Security Program, funded by the Australian Government and conducted by Geoscience Australia, has acquired deep seismic reflection... -
Miocene volcanic seamounts on northern Lord Howe Rise: lithology, age,...
Multibeam sonar swath-mapping has revealed small submarine volcanic cones on the northeastern Lord Howe Rise (LHR), a submerged ribbon continent. Two such cones, aligned NNW and... -
Quaternary Calcarenite Stratigraphy on Lord Howe Island, Southwestern...
Lord Howe Island is a small, mid-ocean volcanic and carbonate island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Skeletal carbonate eolianite and beach calcarenite on the island are... -
Gold mineralisation of the Tanami region
The Tanami Region, which is the largest gold province in the Northern Territory, has produced 122 t of gold, has a known remaining resource of 190 t, and has high exploration... -
The Potential Impact of Bedform Migration on Seagrass Communities in Torres...
Seagrass communities in the northwest of Torres Strait are known to disappear episodically over broad areas. Sediment mobility surveys were undertaken within two study areas... -
Consistent MMI area estimation for Australian earthquakes
Geoscience Australia has been providing estimates of felt and potential damage radiuses for all earthquakes above magnitude 3.0 since 2002. Similarly, over the last decade,... -
The Biogeochemistry of Iron
For our understanding of interactions between living organisms and the solid earth it is fascinating to investigate the reactivity of iron at the interface of the bio- and... -
Pore Water Geochemistry of Eastern Mediterranean Mud Volcanoes: Implications...
The pore water chemistry of mud volcanoes from the Olimpi Mud Volcano Field and the Anaximander Mountains in the eastern Mediterranean Sea have been studied for three major... -
A reassessment of the petroleum systems in the offshore northern Perth Basin
The discovery of commercial oil in the Cliff Head-1 well in 2001 set an important milestone in the exploration history of the offshore northern Perth Basin. The region had been... -
Interactions Between Continental Breakup Dynamics and Large-scale Delta...
The interpretation of two regional seismic reflection profiles and the construction of a balanced cross section through the southern Australian margin (Bight Basin) are designed... -
Benthic Nutrient Recycling in Port Phillip Bay, Australia
Benthic chamber measurements of the reactants and products involved with biogenic matter remineralization (oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, TCO2 and... -
Exploration and discovery of Australia's copper, nickel, lead and zinc...
Examination of copper, nickel, lead and zinc (base metals) exploration expenditure and discovery in Australia over the period 1976-2005 reveals some significant trends.... -
A Framework for Modelling Shoreline Response to Clustered Storm Events: Case...
Coastal communities in Australia are particularly exposed to coincident natural hazards, whereby tropical cyclones and extra-tropical storms cause damage to infrastructure and... -
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... -
Formation, Morphology and Preservation of High-energy Carbonate Lithofacies:...
Cool-water carbonate environments may be responsible for up to one third of the carbonate sediment produced on continental shelves, and are useful modern analogues for many... -
Petroleum generation and migration modelling for the Capel and Faust basins,...
The Capel and Faust basins, located on the Lord Howe Rise in water depths between 1,300 m and 2,500 m, were the focus of a series of marine surveys by Geoscience Australia in... -
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... -
Australia's Near-pristine Estuaries: Current Knowledge and Management
The purpose of this investigation was to collate previously disparate information on near-pristine estuaries and make it widely available for use by managers, researchers,...
