New geophysical and geological datasets have been acquired in water depths of 1300-2500m from the Capel and Faust basins located some 800 km east of Brisbane (Figure 1). Between... -
Preliminary Results from Marine Seismic Survey GA302 over Capel and Faust Basins
Data from 50 sonobuoys were recorded over the Capel and Faust Basins, 800 km to the east of Australia in water depths 1500-2000 m, during a 2006/07 seismic survey (GA302) for... -
Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources
The Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources (SMCGR) project aims to improve the management of groundwater in coastal dune aquifers, which is used to supply water... -
Implications of sponge biodiversity patterns for the management of a marine...
Marine reserves are becoming progressively more important as anthropogenic impacts continue to increase, but we have little baseline information for most marine environments. In... -
