Western Australia: Phanerozoic geology and mineral resources
Phanerozoic rocks in onshore Western Australia are primarily sedimentary. Volcanic and intrusive rocks are known from only a few areas and are mostly related to continental... -
Structure and stratigraphy of the central Great Barrier Reef
The Cainozoic evolution of the central Great Barrier Reef Province has been deduced from shallow, intermediate, and deep focus seismic reflection profiling. For much of its... -
Interactions between saline redbed groundwaters and peritidal carbonates,...
A commonly cited model for the genesis of stratiform Cu deposits that lack either igneous or hydrothermal associations has been tested in modern environments, on the... -
The Cretaceous of the Eromanga and Surat Basins
Little deformed Cretaceous sedimentary rocks underlie 1 500 000 km^2 of eastern Australia. Depositional environments in them range from freshwater to shallow marine. The... -
Stable isotope and chemical studies of volcanic exhalations and thermal...
Thermal waters in Matupi Harbour and Sulphur Creek, Rabaul caldera have D/H and O18/O16 ratios that are indicative of a mixed source. They are the result of mixing of local... -
Long-term landscape evolution on Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory
Like other areas throughout the north of the Northern Territory, Groote Eylandt is dominated by a landscape of great age. Previous interpretations have argued that this... -
Regional plate tectonics and the evolution of Australia's passive continental margins
The divergent, passive continental margins around Australia have evolved through the progressive dissection of eastern Gondwanaland in five separate seafloor-spreading episodes.... -
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... -
Paleocene-Eocene biostratigraphy and palaeoenvironment of East Antarctica:...
The Mac. Robertson Shelf and western Prydz Bay, on the continental shelf of East Antarctica, were the sites of seismic/coring programs in February- March 1995 and 1997, and of... -
Geology of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus off northwest Australia:...
In this paper we present the first detailed geological information about the margins of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus. New single-channel seismic profiles helped to select... -
Seabed mapping using multibeam swath-mapping systems: an essential...
Swath-mapping of the seabed started soon after the Second World War, with small towed sidescan sonars providing images and built-in multi beam sonars providing bathymetry... -
Early Devonian thelodonts (Agnatha) from the Toko Syncline, western...
Thelodont scales recovered from the basal (calcareous) unit of the Cravens Peak Beds in the Georgina Basin, are referable to Turinia australiensis Gross, 1971, T. cf. pagei... -
Biostratigraphy of Rig Seismic samples from Vening Meinesz seamounts,...
Samples from eight dredge hauls collected during BMR cruise 107 from several seamounts in the Vening Meinesz chain, south of Christmas Island, yielded calcareous nannofossils,... -
Compilation and production of the 1976 1:5 000 000 Gravity Map of Australia
In 1976 a coloured 1:5 000 000 Gravity Map of Australia was published by BMR. At that stage the systematic reconnaissance gravity coverage of Australia, initiated by BMR in... -
Vegetation and climate of the late Cainozoic in the Murray Basin and their...
The Murray Basin was forested throughout the Tertiary, becoming open woodlands and grasslands in Plio-Pleistocene time. Precipitation was very high through the early Tertiary,... -
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... -
Gradational benthic marine communities in the Early Carboniferous...
Four benthic marine fossil commumtles are recognised in faunas of the Rhipidomella fortimuscula brachiopod Zone of late Visean (Early Carboniferous) age using multivariate... -
The Great Artesian Basin, Australia
The Great Artesian Basin occupies 1.7 X 10^6 km^2, or about one-fifth of Australia, extending across parts of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern... -
Origins of sulphide in sediments
Sulphide in sedimentary ore deposits may be derived directly from the mantle or by reduction of sulphate. Sulphide in modem hydrothermal deposits is thought to have formed... -
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...
