Effect of nutrient loading on biogeochemical processes in tropical tidal creeks
The effect of increased nutrient loads on biogeochemical processes in macrotidal, mangrove-lined creeks was studied in tropical Darwin Harbour, Australia. Water quality and... -
Disturbance of Intertidal Sediments: The Response of Bacteria and Foraminifera
Incubation experiments are common in marine experimental studies but the impact on organisms and geochemical parameters is poorly understood. Here, the re-establishment of... -
Denitrification and Denitrifying Efficiencies in Sediments of Port Phillip...
High-precision measurements of N2 in benthic chamber waters indicated that denitrification occurs within the major sedimentary facies in Port Phillip Bay. The integrated fluxes... -
Geophysical Variables as Predictors of Megabenthos Assemblages from the...
The question as to whether geophysical data from habitats can be used to predict the occurrence of benthic biodiversity is becoming more important with the increase in the use... -
Acoustic Structure and Seismic Velocities in the Carnarvon Basin, Australian...
High quality refraction and wide-angle reflection seismic data recorded by ocean-bottom seismographs (OBSs) deployed by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation along the... -
First Discovery of Dolomite and Magnesite in Living Coralline Algae and its...
Dolomite is a magnesium rich carbonate mineral abundant in ancient coral reef formations [1-3] yet very little is found forming in modern sedimentary environments. For over 150... -
Crustal architecture of Tasmania based on deep seismic reflection surveys in...
This paper was presented at the 17th Australian Geological Convention, Geological Society of Australia -
Why Australia has so much uranium
Uranium mining in Australia began in 1954 at Rum Jungle in the Northern Territory and Radium Hill in South Australia. The first mining of uranium for electricity generation in... -
Crustal Structure Across the Vulcan Sub-basin from Seismic Refraction and...
The attenuated continental crust between the Kimberley Block and the Timor Trough hosts some of the major oil and gas fields in Western Australia. The crustal structure has been... -
The Nature and Origin of the Submarine Albany Canyons Off Southwest Australia
The Albany Canyon complex off southwest Australia extends 700 km from Cape Leeuwin to east of Esperance. The Canyons head on the uppermost continental slope and extend up to 90... -
Macrobenthic Activity and its Effects on Biogeochemical Reactions and Fluxes
Ocean margins are the transitional zones between the oceans and continents. They represent dynamic systems in which numerous processes shape the environment and result in... -
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... -
Basement and crustal structure of the Bonaparte - Browse Basins
Australia's North West Margin (NWAM) is segmented into four discrete basins which have distinct rift and reactivation histories: Carnarvon, offshore Canning (Roebuck), Browse... -
Defining an active fault in the Australian intraplate context, with some...
Defining a neotectonic fault in the intraplate context is relatively straightforward - the fault must have hosted displacement in the current crusta stress regime. Defining an... -
Rifting and subduction initiation history of the New Caledonia Trough,...
The New Caledonia Trough is a bathymetric depression 200-300 km wide, 2300 km long, and 1.5-3.5 km deep between New Caledonia and New Zealand. In and adjacent to the trough,... -
Deep seismic profiling across the Batten Trough, McAurthur Basin, Northern Territory
This paper was presented at 17th Australian Geological Convention, Hobart, Tasmania -
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,... -
Holistic inversion of time-domain AEM data
A holistic inversion algorithm has been developed for time-domain airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data. The algorithm simultaneously recovers a layered earth conductivity... -
Open source flood simulation with a 2D discontinuous-elevation hydrodynamic model
A new finite volume algorithm to solve the two dimensional shallow water equations on an unstructured triangular mesh has been implemented in the open source ANUGA software,... -
Style and timing of late Quaternary faulting on the Lake Edgar Fault,...
Geomorphic mapping of the ~30 km Lake Edgar fault scarp in SW Tasmania suggests that three large surface-rupturing events with vertical displacements of 2.4 - 3.1 m have...
