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... -
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 Ivanhoe Block-its structure, hydrogeology and effect on groundwaters of...
The Ivanhoe Block is a faulted and uplifted concealed basement ridge complex underlying the mallee sand dunes adjacent to the New South Wales part of the Western Riverine Plain... -
Global sea-level change as a method of correlating the Late Permian coal...
Eustatic changes in sea level can be used to correlate sequences in widely separated areas. Thick terrestrial sequences with marine intercalations are especially suitable,... -
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... -
Palaeozoic geology and resources of Victoria
Victoria provides the only well-exposed section across the southern part of the Lachlan Fold Belt and the easternmost Delamerides. Although the plate tectonic setting of this... -
Upper Triassic spongiomorph and coral association dredged off the...
Upper Triassic corals and spongiomorphs dredged during BMR Cruise 95 from the Rowley Terrace, offshore Canning Basin of northwestern Australia, indicate possible new occurrences... -
Methane anomalies in seawaters of the Ragay Gulf, Philippines: methane...
The vertical distribution of methane has been measured in the water column of a semi-enclosed basin, the Ragay Gulf, in the Philippines archipelago. The methane distribution is... -
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... -
Manganese nodules from the Tasman Sea off Sydney
Two manganese nodules were recently recovered by HMAS Kimbla from a water depth of 4300 m, in a northeast-trending trough about 250 nautical miles southeast of Sydney (155°... -
The crustal structure of the Gulf of Papua and northwest Coral Sea
Interpretation of seismic refraction data from the southwestern coast of the Papuan Peninsula and the northwest Coral Sea gives consistent results using several inversion... -
The nature and origin of beach ridges, western Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
Two sets of beach ridges are known from the western side of Cape York Peninsula. The older set are thought to be late Pleistocene. They rest on a basement of older fan deposits... -
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,... -
Relative fall of Holocene sea level and coastal progradation, northeastern...
The levels of intertidal environments of prograding Holocene coastal complexes of northeast Spencer Gulf have been precisely measured and their relation with the tidal range... -
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... -
Sequence stratigraphy: a review of fundamental concepts and their...
Sequence stratigraphic concepts and techniques provide a powerful tool to analyse and predict stratal architecture and facies patterns within sedimentary basins. The concepts... -
Origins of groundwater salinity near Tresco, northwest Victoria
Core samples and groundwater from bores at Tresco, northern Victoria, in the southern margin of the Murray Basin, have been analysed for palynology and chemistry. An aquifer... -
Preliminary studies of the Cape Leeuwin manganese nodule deposit off Western...
In 1970 a large deposit of ferromanganese nodules was discovered on the floor of the Indian Ocean southwest of Cape Leeuwin by the research vessel USNS Eltanin. This discovery,... -
Significance of calcareous nannofossil-bearing Jurassic and Cretaceous...
Examination of dredge hauls taken from the Rowley Terrace, northwest Australia, has revealed the occurrence of several Mesozoic nannofossil-bearing levels. Dating has been... -
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...
