Saline water disposal options in the Murray Basin
Large volumes of saline water are produced in the Murray Basin, principally from naturally occurring saline groundwater discharge to rivers and lakes and discharge induced by... -
The origin and evolution of the Earth's continental crust
The present upper crustal composition of the Earth is attributed largely to intracrustal differentiation, resulting in the production of K-rich granites. The crust grows... -
The gravity field of offshore Australia
The free-air anomaly field of offshore Australia has been divided into about fifty regional gravity provinces, each of which is characterized by uniformity of trend, free-air... -
Palaeontological evidence for the Early Cambrian age of the Bukalara...
The Bukalara sandstone overlies the Proterozoic rocks of the McArthur Basin, Northern Territory. Trace fossils are present in it at 5 localities on the Mount Young 1:250 000... -
Cretaceous ammonites from south-central Papua New Guinea
Eleven ammonite species, including one new taxon, are described from eleven localities in the south-central Papua New Guinea. One of them, Fauriella boissieri (Pictet), is a... -
Late Cretaceous-Palaeogene nannofossil biostratigraphy of Challenger No. 1...
Late Cretaceous-Palaeogene calcareous nannofossil assemblages from the mainly carbonate section in Challenger No. 1 well, above the 780m level, have some similarities with the... -
The occurrence of Thylacinus in Tertiary Rocks from Papua New Guinea
Collecting at the Pliocene Awe fauna type locality (Plane 1967) on the west bank of the Watut River, in the Morobe District of Papua New Guinea during 1962 and 1963 produced a... -
Planktonic foraminifera, age of sediments and polarity reversals, New...
Samples from the Rudiger Point-Cape Ruge area, New Britain, are not from a conformable late Miocene-earliest Pliocene sequence, as was presumed by previous workers, but rather... -
A review of the Corella Formation, Mount Isa Inlier, Queensland
As mapped by previous workers, the Corella Formation is the most extensively exposed formation in the eastern succession of the Proterozoic Mount Isa Inlier. Outcrops consist... -
Assessment of the relative vulnerability of groundwater to pollution: a...
The need for assessment of regional vulnerability of groundwater to pollution from surface activities is highlighted. It is generally considered that efficient broad-scale... -
Impregnation of unconsolidated sediment samples, using a large vacuum chamber
A large cylindrical vacuum chamber has been constructed (1180 mm long, 405 mm diameter) and used for impregnating unconsolidated, undisturbed sediment samples. To ensure... -
Palynology of Mesozoic dredge samples from the North West Shelf
Palynological examination was carried out on 34 sedimentary rock samples dredged from the offshore Rowley Terrace (Canning Basin), Scott and Exmouth Plateaux, and northern... -
Conodonts from the Lower Ordovician Coolibah Formation, Georgina Basin,...
The Coolibah Formation outcropping around the Toko Syncline, southeastern Georgina Basin, was sampled for conodonts during a multidisciplinary study of Georgina Basin geology by... -
The genus Cordylodus and a latest Cambrian-earliest Ordovician conodont...
The conodont genus Cordylodus is interpreted here as a septimembrate apparatus containing M, S and P elements. The individual element morphologies are similar to those found in... -
The Quilalar and Surprise Creek Formations - new Proterozoic units from the...
The Quilalar and Surprise Creek Formations are new Proterozoic units in the Western Succession of the Mount Isa Inlier; they replace the Surprise Creek Beds of earlier workers.... -
Geological framework and crustal evolution of the Giles mafic-ultramafic...
Layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions of the Giles Complex, western Musgrave Block are confined to a southern granulite facies block thrust northward over an amphibolite facies... -
Cobar-style polymetallic Au-Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn deposits
The Cobar district, in western New South Wales, is host to several small to medium, sediment-hosted polymetallic precious- and base-metal orebodies (Au-Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn). Gold and... -
The freshwater lens on Home Island in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands
Groundwater resources have been investigated on Home Island, in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indian Ocean, to assess the prospects of developing a reticulated water supply and... -
Magnetic signature and morphology of the Acraman impact structure, South Australia
Acraman is a major complex impact structure located in the Mesoproterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics of the Gawler Craton, South Australia, and has parts of its distal ejecta...
