Nannofossil and planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphy around the...
Nannofossil evidence suggests that the up-sequence appearance of Globigerinoides quadrilobatus primordius is depth-related, and first occurs at a lower stratigraphic level in... -
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,... -
Palynology of the Oligocene-Miocene sequence in the Oakvale-1 corehole,...
Palynological analysis of the marine Oligocene-Miocene Geera Clay and Renmark Group in the Oakvale-l corehole in the western Murray Basin has shown diverse and well-preserved... -
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... -
The sediments of the Argo Abyssal Plain and adjacent areas, northeast Indian Ocean
A series of geophysical traverses by the Atlantis II across the Argo Abyssal Plain, together with coring at a number of selected localities has provided new information on... -
A non-marine Lower Cretaceous rift-related epiclastic volcanic unit in...
The Early Cretaceous non-marine volcaniclastic Eumeralla Formation accumulated in a rift basin on the southern margin of Australia during the break-up of eastern Gondwana.... -
Implications of Australian seismic and gravity measurements for the...
In a previous paper densities of crustal layers were inferred from seismic refraction surveys in Australia and surrounding marine areas. These indicated substantial variations... -
The Proterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks of The Granites-Tanami region, Western...
The Granites-Tanami region links the mainly Proterozoic areas of northwestern and central Australia. It is made up of two main tectonic units: The Granites-Tanami Block, which... -
The Late Triassic molluscs, conodonts, and brachiopods of the Kuta...
The Kuta Formation is mainly a limestone deposit which crops out on the flanks of the Kubor Anticline in the Central Highlands of Papua New Guinea. It has been variously... -
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... -

Sediments of the Late Palaeozoic Urana Formation in infrabasins beneath the Cainozoic Murray Basin include glaciomarine diamictite, fine-grained sediment, sandstone, and... -
Flushing of Australian estuaries, coastal lakes and embayments: an overview...
Examination of a simple, but quantitative parameter, Sf/So, the ratio of average salinity of a coastal waterway/marine source water salinity, both geographically and temporally,... -
Stratigraphy and palynology of Mesozoic sediments from the Great Australian...
The offshore Mesozoic Bight and Duntroon Basins formed through rifting and separation of the Australian and Antarctic plates. Palynological investigation of samples dredged from... -
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... -
