Geomorphology and sedimentology of the continental shelf adjacent to Mac...
During the Quaternary, the Mac. Robertson shelf of East Antarctica was deeply eroded by glaciers and currents exposing the underlying basement, resulting in a scalped shelf. -
The Nature and Origin of the Submarine Albany Canyons Off Southwest Australia
The Albany Canyon complex off southwest Australia extends 700 km from Cape Leeuwin to east of Esperance. The Canyons head on the uppermost continental slope and extend up to 90... -
Biogeochemical Zones Within a Macrotidal, Dry-Tropical Fluvial-Marine...
The Fitzroy River delivers large amounts of nutrients and fine sediments to Keppel Bay (contiguous with the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon) during intermittent flow events. This... -
Rates of Shoreline Progradation During the Last 1,700 Years at Beachmere,...
The morphology and chronostratigraphy of seven beach ridges at Beachmere, southeastern Queensland, Australia, provide a record of changes in shoreline accretion and relative sea... -
A reassessment of the petroleum systems in the offshore northern Perth Basin
The discovery of commercial oil in the Cliff Head-1 well in 2001 set an important milestone in the exploration history of the offshore northern Perth Basin. The region had been... -
Potential impacts of marine seismic surveys on fish & invertebrates
The extent to which low-frequency sound from marine seismic surveys impacts marine fauna is a subject of growing concern. The predominant frequency range of seismic airgun... -
Effect of nutrient loading on biogeochemical processes in tropical tidal creeks
The effect of increased nutrient loads on biogeochemical processes in macrotidal, mangrove-lined creeks was studied in tropical Darwin Harbour, Australia. Water quality and... -
Late Neogene Ice Drainage Changes in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica and the...
During the late Neogene, the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf drainage system flowed across Prydz Bay and showed several changes in flow pattern. In the Early Pliocene, the... -
Coral Spawn and Bathymetric Slicks in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Data...
Annular to crescent-shaped low back scatter SAR slicks over carbonate reefs and shoals in the Timor Sea with slick `feathering', and within the coral spawning period for the... -
Topographic Controls on Post-Oligocene Changes in Ice-sheet Dynamics, Prydz...
Within the general trend of post-Eocene cooling, the largest and oldest outlet of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet underwent a change from ice-cliff to ice-stream and/or ice-shelf... -
Small Angle Neutron Scattering Signature of Oil Generation in Artificially...
We have demonstrated for the first time the application of a small angle neutron scattering (SANS) technique for the precise determination of the onset of hydrocarbon transport... -
Unconventional hydrocarbons - Australia's old rocks prove their worth
Australia’s search for petroleum began in the onshore basins where extensive areas of Paleozoic marine sequences, with some high-quality source rock intervals and spectacular... -
Subsidence and thermal history modelling:new insights into hydrocarbon...
Subsidence and thermal history analysis of 31wells and 25 depocentre sites has been undertaken to examine the generation and expulsion history of Jurassic and Early Cretaceous... -
Using Inherent Optical Properties to Investigate Biogeochemical Dynamics in...
The variability in the inherent optical properties along an estuary-coast-ocean continuum in tropical Australia has been studied. The study area, the Fitzroy Estuary and Keppel... -
The Haines Structure: A Probable Eocene Complex Impact Structure in the...
A seismic structure imaged in a single 2D seismic profile from the offshore Canning Basin, Western Australia, is interpreted to be a possible complex impact crater on the basis... -
Ice shelf grounding zone features of western Prydz Bay, Antarctica...
Several grounding zone wedges were left on the floor and flanks of Prydz Channel in western Prydz Bay by the Lambert Glacier during the last glacial cycle. Seismic profiles... -
