Special Issue in Honour of the Contribution of Michael Collins to Sediment...
A symposium was held at the University of Wales, Swansea in July 2007 to honour the career and achievements of Professor Michael Collins. The symposium was organised by... -
Seabed environments and shallow geology of the Leveque Shelf, Browse Basin,...
In May 2013, Geoscience Australia, in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science, undertook a marine survey of the Leveque Shelf (survey number... -
The Influence of Geomorphology and Sedimentary Processes on Shallow-water...
The mapping of seabed environments is fundamental to successful fisheries management and environmental monitoring, however, there is an emerging need to better characterise... -
Ceduna Sub-basin Environmental Summary
This record summarises the physical environments of the seabed for the Ceduna and Eyre Sub-basins. -
Seabed exposure and ecological disturbance on Australia's continental shelf:...
Disturbances characterise many natural environments - on land, a forest fire that removes a patch of old-growth trees is an example. The trees that first colonise the vacant... -
Sydney Harbour Sediment Sampling Results: Cooperative Research Centre for...
This Milestone Report documents the results of the analysis of sediment samples collected during the survey of Sydney Harbour in August, 2003. The samples were collected by... -
Marine Sediments (MARS) Database
The MARine Sediment (MARS) database contains detailed information on seabed sediment characteristics for samples collected from Australia's marine jurisdiction, including the... -
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... -
Seabed gravel, mud and sand content in the Petrel sub-basin in the...
This dataset provides the spatially continuous data of seabed gravel (sediment fraction >2000 µm), mud (sediment fraction < 63 µm) and sand content (sediment fraction... -
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... -
Bedload Sediment Transport Dynamics in a Macrotidal Embayment, and...
Keppel Bay is a macrotidal embayment on a tectonically stable, tropical coast, which links the Fitzroy River with the Great Barrier Reef continental shelf. Estuaries and deltas... -
Australian sedimentary parameters
Seabed sediment data were extracted from Geoscience Australia's MARine Sediment database (MARS - http://www.ga.gov.au/oracle/mars/). They include the percentage of carbonate in... -
Effects of Abiotic Stressors on Infaunal Burrowing and Associated Sediment...
Infauna play key roles in nutrient cycling and bioturbation by facilitating exchange across the sediment-water interface, but the effects of environmental stressors on the... -
Videos and images from SOL5117 (Joseph Bonaparte Gulf)
The Joseph Bonaparte Gulf survey (SOL5117, GA survey #0325) was conducted on the R.V. Solander between 30 July and 30 September 2010 in collaboration with staff from the... -
Effects of Abiotic Stressors on Infaunal Burrowing and Associated Sediment...
Infauna play key roles in nutrient cycling and bioturbation by facilitating exchange across the sediment-water interface, but the effects of environmental stressors on the... -
A compilation of grainsize, biogenic silica and carbonate data from East...
Sediment grainsize and compositional data is presented for the East Antarctic region (30-150ºE) south of 60ºS to provide insight into the nature of habitats available for... -
Inter-reefal seabed sediments and geomorphology of the Great Barrier Reef, a...
Inter-reefal (i.e. non-reefal) seabed environments have been much less studied than the coral reefs, however they comprise 95% of the total Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Marine Park... -
A 1500 Year Record of Coastal Sediment Accumulation Preserved in Beach...
In this study of the beach-ridge plain at Keppel Bay, on the central coast of Queensland, we examine ridge morphology, sediment texture and geochemistry. We build a detailed... -
Benthic Foraminifera as Environmental Indicators in Torres Strait - Gulf of...
Three areas in the Torres Strait-Gulf of Papua region were selected for detailed study of sediments and benthic fossil biota. These areas form a transect across the shelf from... -
Seabed Gravel Content Across the Australian Continental EEZ, 2011
The dataset provides the spatially continuous data of the seabed gravel content (sediment fraction >2000 µm) expressed as a weight percentage ranging from 0 to 100%,...
