Gravimetry in Australia, 1819-1976
The earliest known gravity measurements in Australia were made by French expeditions in 1819 and 1824, using pendulums at Sydney. Later in the 19th century, further pendulum... -
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... -

Effects of a major earthquake near Bougainville, 20 July 1975
On 20 July 1975 a major earthquake (MS7.9) shook the northern islands of the Solomon Islands chain. Damage amounting to at least $300,000 (Australian) occurred in the southern... -
Planktonic foraminifera, age of sediments and polarity reversals, New...
Samples from the Rudiger Point-Cape Ruge area, New Britain, are not from a conformable late Miocene-earliest Pliocene sequence, as was presumed by previous workers, but rather... -
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,... -
The Great Cumbung Swamp - terminus of the low-gradient Lachlan River,...
The Lachlan River rises in the humid highlands of southeastern Australia and flows westward into the Murray Basin. The climate is sub-humid to semi-arid and, as it crosses the... -
The late Cainozoic sequence of southeast South Australia and Pleistocene...
A recent drilling program in southeast South Australia has provided new insight into the late Cainozoic sequence of that area. Uplift of the region occurred during the... -
Geological note: Igneous and sedimentary rocks dredged from the northern...
Altered basalt, dolerite and gabbro have been dredged from a previously unsampled portion of the Macquarie Ridge (47o-48° S), using the commercial fishing vessel Amaltal... -
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... -
DISCUSSION: The elusive Cook volcano and other submarine forearc volcanoes...
Discussion: A recent paper (Ex on and Johnson, 1986) in this journal concluded that activity attributed in the past to the Cook submarine volcano, in the forearc region of the... -

Sandy clays deposited during the waning phase of Oligocene-Middle Miocene transgression of the Murray Basin conformablyoverlie the shallow to marginal marine Geera Clay and... -
Aeolianites in the Jurassic Jurgurra Sandstone, Canning Basin, Western Australia
During the geological mapping of the Mount Anderson Sheet area of the Canning Basin in 1976, an exposure of the Jurassic Jurgurra Sandstone about 20 km north of the type... -
Triassic environments in the Canning Basin, Western Australia
A review of the lithology, sedimentary structures and palaeontology, supplemented by original investigations, suggests that the Triassic system in the Canning Basin can be... -
Proterozoic microfossils from the Roper Group, Northern Territory, Australia
The Roper Group (minimum age approximately 1300 x 10^6yr) is a shallow water sequence of sandstone, siltstone, and shale, with minor, sub-economic oolitic ironstone. The... -
