Glacial-interglacial paleoceanography from Australian margin sediments:...
The Australian Geological Survey Organisation has collected cores from two areas of the Australian continental margin- the Exmouth Plateau and Perth Basin (EP/PB) in the... -
The hydrogeochemistry of groundwater in fractured bedrock aquifers beneath...
Fresh to brackish groundwaters in the range of 250 to 2250 mglL occur in fractured bedrock aquifers beneath dryland salinity sites at Yass in the Southern Tablelands of New... -
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... -
First record of Tethyan palynomorphs from the Late Triassic of East Antarctica
A well-preserved Late Triassic palynoflora from the upper Flagstone Bench Formation, Prince Charles Mountains, East Antarctica, contains taxa that are also widely distributed in... -
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... -
Free-air anomaly and gravity maps of Australia - in colour, 1:25,000,000
On the following pages are a Free-air Anomaly Map of Australia and a Gravity Map of Australia (showing Bouguer anomalies on land and free-air anomalies at sea), both at a scale... -
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... -
The geochemistry of Lake Frome, a playa lake in South Australia
Lake Frome, a large playa in southeast South Australia, lies at the centre of an internal drainage basin. Sediments and brines in the lake were studied to determine if the... -
Drowned dolines - the blue holes of the Pompey Reefs, Great Barrier Reef
Blue holes occur at Cockatoo and Molar Reefs, in the Pompey hard line reefs. These two holes are roughly circular in shape, between 240-295 m in diameter, and 30-40 m deep. They... -
Geoscientific investigations from the Scott Plateau off northwest Australia...
In 1977 the R.V. Valdivia carried out a survey between Scott Plateau and the Java Trench, during which 1700 km of 24-channel seismic data, and 2550 km of bathymetric, gravity... -
Tectonic and metallogenic framework of the Cambrian Stansbury Basin -...
The Early to Middle Cambrian Stansbury Basin preserves a palaeogeographic zonation, from shallow shelf carbonates in the west (Spencer and Ardrossan Shelves) through extensional... -
Marine benthic communities in the Early Carboniferous of New South Wales...
The Delepinea aspinosa brachiopod Zone comprises two subzones: the Inflatia elegans and Linoprotonia tenuirugosa Subzones. Multivariate (cluster) analysis is used to identify... -
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... -
Growth fabrics and growth rates of Holocene reefs in the Great Barrier Reef
Over the past five years, scientists of the Bureau of Mineral Resources and James Cook University of North Queensland have drilled 61 holes into 24 reefs throughout the Great... -
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... -
Suspended-sediment transport and water movement at One Tree Reef, southern...
One Tree Reef, in the southern Great Barrier Reef, is roughly triangular, with the southeast corner forming the windward margin, and the northwest side the leeward margin. In... -
Lord Howe Rise, Tasman Sea - preliminary geophysical results and petroleum prospects
The Lord Howe Rise is a major submarine feature in the Tasman Sea; it extends northwest from the New Zealand continental margin and lies about 600 to 1200 km off the east coast... -
Mesozoic outcrops on the lower continental slope off Exmouth, Western Australia
Seismic reflection profiles over the southwestern margin of the Exmouth Plateau, which have been tentatively tied to the Northwest Shelf stratigraphic sequence, indicate that... -
Management of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers in Queensland, Australia
Many Queensland rivers have extensive deltas, which have large reserves of groundwater. These deltas contain fertile land suitable for intense agricultural development with...
