Geology of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus off northwest Australia:...
In this paper we present the first detailed geological information about the margins of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus. New single-channel seismic profiles helped to select... -
Stratigraphy and sedimentology of mid-Tertiary permeability barriers in the...
In the Murray Basin of southeastern Australia, the accelerated emergence of groundwater-related salinity problems in recent decades has led to the realisation that future... -
The Great Artesian Basin, Australia
The Great Artesian Basin occupies 1.7 X 10^6 km^2, or about one-fifth of Australia, extending across parts of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern... -
Geological evolution, tectonic style, and economic potential of the lawn...
The Lawn Hill Platform Cover comprises a sequence of mildly deformed Proterozoic sediments and volcanics that crop out northwest of Mount Isa. Three subdivisions are recognised... -
Growth fabrics and growth rates of Holocene reefs in the Great Barrier Reef
Over the past five years, scientists of the Bureau of Mineral Resources and James Cook University of North Queensland have drilled 61 holes into 24 reefs throughout the Great... -
Spectral representation of isostatic models
The development of cross-spectral techniques for investigating the relation between gravity and topography has led to the representation of isostatic processes in terms of... -
Source rock potential and hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Darling Basin, NSW
Available geological and geophysical data for the dominantly Devonian Darling Basin of western New South Wales indicate a high risk for petroleum exploration. Hydrocarbon... -
Tectonic and metallogenic framework of the Cambrian Stansbury Basin -...
The Early to Middle Cambrian Stansbury Basin preserves a palaeogeographic zonation, from shallow shelf carbonates in the west (Spencer and Ardrossan Shelves) through extensional... -
Holocene Palaeo-Environmental changes, central to north Great Barrier Reef inner zone
Fringing reefs and storm ridges, from inner-shelf sites on the Great Barrier Reef between 14° and 20° S, are examined for Holocene sea-level and climatic changes. The sites... -
The geochemistry of Lake Frome, a playa lake in South Australia
Lake Frome, a large playa in southeast South Australia, lies at the centre of an internal drainage basin. Sediments and brines in the lake were studied to determine if the... -
Manganese nodules from the Tasman Sea off Sydney
Two manganese nodules were recently recovered by HMAS Kimbla from a water depth of 4300 m, in a northeast-trending trough about 250 nautical miles southeast of Sydney (155°... -
Triassic environments in the Canning Basin, Western Australia
A review of the lithology, sedimentary structures and palaeontology, supplemented by original investigations, suggests that the Triassic system in the Canning Basin can be... -
Geology and offshore petroleum prospects of the eastern New Ireland Basin,...
The eastern part of the New Ireland Basin of Papua New Guinea is about 600 km long by 150 km wide and mostly offshore, northeast of New Hanover and New Ireland. Basin geology... -
Hydrogeology of a raised coral atoll - Niue Island, South Pacific Ocean
Niue Island, in the south Pacific Ocean, is a raised coral atoll with an area of 259 km^2. The original atoll rim is preserved as a peripheral ridge about 60 m above sea level,... -
Salinity of deep formation water in the Canning Basin, Western Australia
Salinity of deep formation water in the Canning Basin, estimated from well log data or measured on water samples from oil-production wells and drill stem tests, ranges from... -
Variation of crustal mass over the Australian region
Seismic refraction surveys in Australia and nearby marine areas provide data on crustal velocities and layer thicknesses. The averages of these at various places have been used... -
Proterozoic microfossils from the Roper Group, Northern Territory, Australia
The Roper Group (minimum age approximately 1300 x 10^6yr) is a shallow water sequence of sandstone, siltstone, and shale, with minor, sub-economic oolitic ironstone. The... -
DISCUSSION: The elusive Cook volcano and other submarine forearc volcanoes...
Discussion: A recent paper (Ex on and Johnson, 1986) in this journal concluded that activity attributed in the past to the Cook submarine volcano, in the forearc region of the... -
Structure and stratigraphy of the central Great Barrier Reef
The Cainozoic evolution of the central Great Barrier Reef Province has been deduced from shallow, intermediate, and deep focus seismic reflection profiling. For much of its... -
Drowned dolines - the blue holes of the Pompey Reefs, Great Barrier Reef
Blue holes occur at Cockatoo and Molar Reefs, in the Pompey hard line reefs. These two holes are roughly circular in shape, between 240-295 m in diameter, and 30-40 m deep. They...
