Cenozoic Volcanism of the Capel-Faust Basins, Northern Lord Howe Rise
A recent survey by Geoscience Australia acquired new exploration data and samples in the frontier offshore Lord Hose Rise (LHR) Capel-Faust region. This survey identified a... -
Submerged banks in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, greatly increase...
Anthropogenic global ocean warming is predicted to cause bleaching of many near-sea-surface (NSS) coral reefs, placing increased importance on deeper reef habitats to maintain... -
Lowstand ramps, fans and deep-water palaeoproterozoic and Mesproterozoic...
The Term, Lawn, Wide and Doom Supersequences represent tectonically driven, second‐order sedimentary accommodation sequences in the Isa Superbasin. The four supersequences are... -
Infaunal biodiversity and ecological function on a remote oceanic island:...
Understanding and predicting the processes determining biological assemblages and marine biodiversity is critical to managing and conserving marine ecosystems. Infauna are a... -
Attenuated basin‐margin sequence stratigraphy of the Palaeoproterozoic...
Sedimentary rocks of the Palaeoproterozoic Calvert and Isa Superbasins are exposed across a large area of northern Australia. Despite the extent of the exposures there is little... -
Chronostratigraphic basin framework for Palaeoproterozoic rocks (1730–1575...
Sequence‐stratigraphic interpretations of outcrop, drillcore, wireline and seismic datasets are integrated with SHRIMP zircon and palaeomagnetic determinations to provide a... -
Siliciclastic shoreline to growth‐faulted, turbiditic sub‐basins: The...
The River Supersequence represents a 2nd‐order accommodation cycle of approximately 15 million years duration in the Isa Superbasin. The River Supersequence comprises eight... -
Secular aberration drift and IAU definition of International Celestial...
The gravitational attraction of the Galactic Centre leads to the centrifugal acceleration of the Solar system barycentre. It results in secular aberration drift which displaces... -
Four-dimensional connectivity modelling with application to Australia's...
A fully four-dimensional (3D × time) object-oriented biophysical dispersal model was developed to simulate the movement of marine larvae over semi-continuous surfaces. The model... -
The tectonostratigraphic history of the Proterozoic Northern Lawn Hill...
The Northern Lawn Hill Platform (NLHP) comprises an area of approximately 16,000 km2 in north-central Australia. Thick packages of Proterozoic strata outcrop in the region,... -
The Potential for Geological Sequestration of CO2 in Australia: Preliminary...
Many industries and researchers have been examining ways of substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions. No single method is likely to be a panacea, although some options do... -
Bremer and Vlaming Release Areas: New Exploration Opportunities from...
In May 2003, the Australian Government announced A$61 million in funding for Geoscience Australia’s New Petroleum Program. This four-year program aims to develop new exploration... -
Projection-Independent Earth-Solar-Sensor Geometry for Surface Reflectance Correction
We present a novel method for calculating Earth-solar-sensor geometry for remote sensing data in an arbitrary map projection. The geometry algorithm uses a recursive bisection... -
Geoscience Australia's Southwest Margin Geophysical Surveys
The Australian Government's five year (2006-2011) Offshore Energy Security Program aims to encourage the discovery of new hydrocarbon resources in Australia's vast offshore... -
Australia’s CO2 geological storage potential and matching of emission...
Within the GEODISC program of the Australian Petroleum Cooperative Research Centre (APCRC), Geoscience Australia (GA) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have completed... -
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... -
Flood vulnerability research at Geoscience Australia
Australia has experienced devastating floods in recent years which have resulted in significant financial loss and disruption to communities. Even though flood events have... -
Seismic velocities in the North West Shelf Region, Australia, from...
A significant limitation of conventional seismic reflection technology is that it poorly constrains seismic velocities in the deep part of the section. These velocities are... -
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... -
Effect of sewage nutrients on algal production, biomass and species...
Microalgal blooms are one of the most visible responses to anthropogenic nutrient loadings in coastal ecosystems. However, differentiating sources of nutrients causing blooms...
