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... -
Epeiric carbonate sedimentation of the Ninmaroo Formation (Upper...
The Ninmaroo Formation (Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician) is one of several epeiric carbonate sequences in the Georgina Basin. It comprises ooid, peloid, flat-pebble... -
Early Devonian thelodonts (Agnatha) from the Toko Syncline, western...
Thelodont scales recovered from the basal (calcareous) unit of the Cravens Peak Beds in the Georgina Basin, are referable to Turinia australiensis Gross, 1971, T. cf. pagei... -
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... -
The determination of suspended-sediment loads in the southern Great Barrier...
A mechanical system for collecting samples of suspended sediment in the water column at various stages of a tidal cycle, together with measurement of tidal current velocities,... -
Lithology and diagenesis of the carbonate foundations of modern reefs in the...
In the southern Great Barrier Reef a relativel y thin (< 20 m) Holocene reef has developed on a foundation comprising a succession of older reefs. This reef foundation... -
Suspended-sediment transport and water movement at One Tree Reef, southern...
One Tree Reef, in the southern Great Barrier Reef, is roughly triangular, with the southeast corner forming the windward margin, and the northwest side the leeward margin. In... -
Some aspects of lagoon sedimentation and circulation at One Tree Reef,...
Observations of water movement at One Tree Reef under modal wind, wave, and tide conditions show that the lagoon currents are insufficient to entrain lagoon sediments and cannot... -
Great Artesian Basin - Geomorphology
This dataset classifies the geomorphological features of the GAB and includes the offshore extents of the GAB beneath the Gulf of Carpentaria. The geomorphological... -
Reef growth, southern Great Barrier Reef - preliminary results
The reefs of the Capricorn-Bunker Group in the southern Great Barrier Reef were the focus of a Bureau of Mineral Resources survey in September-October 1976. Subaerial and... -
Marine benthic communities in the Early Carboniferous of New South Wales...
The Delepinea aspinosa brachiopod Zone comprises two subzones: the Inflatia elegans and Linoprotonia tenuirugosa Subzones. Multivariate (cluster) analysis is used to identify... -
Pleistocene to Holocene planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Coral...
Fifteen of 27 potential planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic events from the latest Pliocene-Holocene have been examined; most of the early Pleistocene was not able to be... -
Sedimentary cycles in the Surat Basin and global changes of sea level
Six sedimentary cycles, each hundreds of metres thick, have been recognised in the Surat Basin. The Jurassic cycles (nos. 1-4) typically started with high-energy deposition of... -
Numerical techniques applied to the geochemistry of some estuarine sediments...
Q-mode factor analysis classified the estuarine samples from Broad Sound into two main geologically distinct groups representing intertidal and supratidal deposition. This... -
Late quaternary regional controls on the development of the Great Barrier...
High-resolution seismic reflection data have been examined in an attempt to identify and explain some of the regional differences and controls on the development of the Great... -
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... -
Management of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers in Queensland, Australia
Many Queensland rivers have extensive deltas, which have large reserves of groundwater. These deltas contain fertile land suitable for intense agricultural development with... -
Terrigenous sedimentation in the central Great Barrier Reef lagoon: a model...
The central Great Barrier Reef Province is characterised by a mainland prograding terrigenous clastic shoreline and an inner shelf dominated by fluvially derived mud. The... -
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... -
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...
