Sediment Transport in Distributary Channels and its Export to the...
Current metre deployments, suspended sediment measurements and surface sediment samples were collected from three locations within distributary channels of the tidally dominated... -
Bioregionalization of the George V Shelf, East Antarctica
The East Antarctic continental shelf has had very few studies examining the macrobenthos structure or relating biological communities to the abiotic environment. In this study,... -
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... -
Geomorphological Evolution of Lord Howe Island and Carbonate Production at...
Lord Howe Island is a volcanic island, rising to over 800 m, draped with Late Quaternary submarine and subaerial carbonate sediments. The island and neighbouring islets lie... -
Integrating multibeam sonar and underwater video data to map benthic...
An integrated analysis of biological and geoscientific data collected from the nearshore marine environment of the Vestfold Hills was used to identify benthic habitats and... -
The Haines Structure: A Probable Eocene Complex Impact Structure in the...
A seismic structure imaged in a single 2D seismic profile from the offshore Canning Basin, Western Australia, is interpreted to be a possible complex impact crater on the basis... -
Comment on Dye (2006) - "Is Geomorphic Zonation a Useful Predictor of...
In a recent paper, Dye (2006) analyzed the distribution of species of macrobenthos and meiobenthos within two geomorphic facies of four small intermittently closed and open... -
Visualising coastal seabed characteristics: using VRML models to present...
Geoscience Australia has produced free Web-viewable 3D models of coastal data, for sharing data and information with project partners and coastal zone stakeholders. The models... -
Sediment Mobility due to currents and waves in the Torres Strait - Gulf of...
The MECO hydrodynamic model was adapted for the Torres Strait - Gulf of Papua region at 0.051 resolution. Validation of the hydrodynamic model was carried out against observed... -
Geology-benthos Relationships on a Temperate Rocky Bank, Eastern Bass...
To better understand the possible relationships between the geology of the seabed and the associated biological communities, a multibeam sonar survey over New Zealand Star Bank... -
High Seas Marine Protected Areas: Benthic environmental conservation...
In order to design a representative network of high seas marine protected areas (MPAs), an acceptable scheme is required to classify the benthic bioregions of the oceans. Given... -
Multi-scale Fish-habitat Associations and the Use of Habitat Surrogates to...
Deep-water demersal fishes are an important component of continental shelf and slope ecosystems and play an important role in the economies of many countries. Strong and... -
Classification of the Australian Continental Shelf Based on Predicted...
Estimates of significant wave height and period, together with tidal current speed over a semi-lunar cycle, were used to predict the area on the Australian continental shelf... -
Diatoms Control Nutrient Cycles in a Temperate, Wave-dominated Estuary...
Diatoms are important primary producers within pelagic, benthic end epiphytic communities and their siliceous frustule leads to rapid sinking to the sediment. As a consequence,... -
d18O Seasonality of Planktonic Foraminifera from Southern Ocean Sediment...
The oxygen isotopic record obtained from Globigerina bulloides, Globorotalia inflata, and Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (s.) was analysed for 5 sediment traps moored in the... -
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... -
Seismic Stratigraphy and Sediment Distribution on the Wilkes Land and Terre...
Seismic reflection data show the existence of two major sedimentary basins along the continental margin of Wilkes Land and Terre Adélie, East Antarctica, that contain more than... -
Sediment Core from Beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, Suggests...
The stability of floating ice shelves is an important indicator of ocean circulation and ice-shelf mass balance. A sub-ice -shelf sediment core collected during the Austral... -
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... -
Andvord Drift: a new type of inner shelf, glacial marine deposystem from the...
Hemipelagic, sediment drift deposits have been discovered and mapped on the Antarctic Peninsula shelf in 300-500 m water depth. The drift located adjacent to Andvord Bay covers...
