A New Coral Reef Province in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia:...
Multibeam sonar mapping, drill cores and underwater video data have confirmed the existence of a previously unknown reef province in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia. Seven... -
Carbon Geochemistry of Cold Seeps: Methane Fluxes and Transformation in...
Despite growing concerns about potential enhancement of global warming and slope failure by methane produced by gas hydrate dissociation, much uncertainty surrounds estimates of... -
High Seas Marine Protected Areas: Benthic environmental conservation...
In order to design a representative network of high seas marine protected areas (MPAs), an acceptable scheme is required to classify the benthic bioregions of the oceans. Given... -
Novel method to concurrently sample the planktobenthos and benthos
The planktobenthos is an important area with unique environmental conditions and represents the immediate link between the benthos and the water column. Despite its close links... -
Life at Cold Seeps: A Synthesis of Biogeochemical and Ecological Data from...
Recent field observations have identified the widespread occurrence of fluid seepage through the eastern Mediterranean Sea floor in association with mud volcanism or along deep... -
Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program and Geothermal Energy Project
Work at the Bureau of Mineral Resources (now Geoscience Australia) in the early 1990s was instrumental in bringing hot rocks geothermal research and development to Australia.... -
Classification of the Australian Continental Shelf Based on Predicted...
Estimates of significant wave height and period, together with tidal current speed over a semi-lunar cycle, were used to predict the area on the Australian continental shelf... -
Australia's Release of Offshore Areas for Greenhouse Gas Geological Storage
This is an article written as a contribution to the IEA GHG R&D Programme's quarterly newsletter (for publication in the June 2009 edition), at the invitation on the IEA GHG... -
Quaternary Aminostratigraphy of Eolianite on Lord Howe Island, Southwest...
Amino acid racemization (AAR) dating of the eolianite on Lord Howe Island is used to correlate several disparate successions and provides a geochronological framework that... -
Benthic Marine Bioregionalisation of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone: A...
The benthic (sea floor) component of the National Marine Bioregionalisation covers the 80% of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone that lies beyond the continental shelf break.... -
Leg 188 Sythesis: Transitions in the Glacial History of the Prydz Bay...
Drilling during Leg 119 (1988) and Leg 188 (2000; Sites 1165-1167) of the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) provides direct evidence for long- and short-term changes in Cenozoic... -
Sedimentological Signatures of the Sub-Amery Ice Shelf Circulation
Two sediment cores collected from beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica describe the physical sedimentation patterns beneath an existing major embayed ice shelf. Core... -
History of benthic colonisation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community which has developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf in East... -
Tidally Incised Valleys on Tropical Carbonate Shelves: An Example from the...
The formation of incised valleys on continental shelves is generally attributed to fluvial erosion under low sea level conditions. However, there are exceptions. A multibeam... -
A Framework for Modelling Shoreline Response to Clustered Storm Events: Case...
Coastal communities in Australia are particularly exposed to coincident natural hazards, whereby tropical cyclones and extra-tropical storms cause damage to infrastructure and... -
