The mantle beneath Australia
The configuration of earthquakes around Australia enables these natural events to be used as probes into the seismic structure of the upper mantle. For the region below northern... -

Fundamentals of airborne gamma-ray spectrometry
The interpretation of gamma-ray spectrometric data requires an understanding of the underlying physics of the method, and an insight into the data acquisition, system... -
Groundwater and surface water interaction at Lake George, New South Wales
Lake George is a fluctuating closed lake in the eastern highlands of Australia. Groundwater in the 932 km2 catchment is mainly of low salinity, but high salinity groundwater is... -

At least 12 species of small calcareous foraminiferids known from early Late Permian assemblages from Arctic Russia and adjacent areas also occur in assemblages from the eastern... -
Eastern Creek Volcanics: their geochemistry and possible role in copper...
New chemical analyses of relatively low-grade metabasalt from the Eastern Creek Volcanics, 120-150 km north of Mount Isa, Queensland, show them to be continental tholeiites. A... -
Conodont colour alteration adjacent to a volcanic plug, Canning Basin,...
The colour change of conodonts adjacent to a small volcanic plug in the Canning Basin, Western Australia suggests that the temperature of the liquid melt exceeded 600 °C. The... -

Evidence of an exhalative origin for deposits of the Cobar district, New South Wales
Evidence is presented to show that a strong mineralogical/chemical zoning exists in seven deposits of the Cobar-Nymagee area. Characteristically, the within-deposit zoning,... -

The continent/island-arc collision in northern Papua New Guinea
Recent geological mapping in the north coast ranges of Papua New Guinea has recognised a Paleogene island arc. This arc is believed to have faced southward, and formed at the... -
The stratigraphic sequence of old land surfaces in northern Queensland
In northern Queensland there are several old land surfaces which are related to previous periods of erosional and depositional activity. The surfaces are of two main types -... -
