Great Artesian Basin - Geomorphology
This dataset classifies the geomorphological features of the GAB and includes the offshore extents of the GAB beneath the Gulf of Carpentaria. The geomorphological... -
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... -
Reef growth, southern Great Barrier Reef - preliminary results
The reefs of the Capricorn-Bunker Group in the southern Great Barrier Reef were the focus of a Bureau of Mineral Resources survey in September-October 1976. Subaerial and... -
The determination of suspended-sediment loads in the southern Great Barrier...
A mechanical system for collecting samples of suspended sediment in the water column at various stages of a tidal cycle, together with measurement of tidal current velocities,... -
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... -
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... -
Late quaternary regional controls on the development of the Great Barrier...
High-resolution seismic reflection data have been examined in an attempt to identify and explain some of the regional differences and controls on the development of the Great... -
Sedimentary cycles in the Surat Basin and global changes of sea level
Six sedimentary cycles, each hundreds of metres thick, have been recognised in the Surat Basin. The Jurassic cycles (nos. 1-4) typically started with high-energy deposition of... -
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... -
The evolution of One Tree Reef, Southern Great Barrier Reef, Queensland
One Tree Reef is one of fourteen reefs in the Capricorn Group, southern Great Barrier Reef. The reef has an asymmetrical triangular shape, 5.5 km long and 3 km wide, with a... -
Seismic refraction - a tool for studying coral reef growth
Seismic refraction studies have been conducted in close proximity to shallow boreholes previously drilled at Bewick (Northern Great Barrier Reef), Hayman (Central Great Barrier... -
Thick ferromanganese deposits from the Dampier Ridge and the Lord Howe Rise...
Chemical and mineralogical data are presented for four ferromanganese samples (two nodules and two crusts) from two stations of the West German vessel Sonne. Three samples came... -
Geological evolution, tectonic style, and economic potential of the lawn...
The Lawn Hill Platform Cover comprises a sequence of mildly deformed Proterozoic sediments and volcanics that crop out northwest of Mount Isa. Three subdivisions are recognised... -
Holocene Palaeo-Environmental changes, central to north Great Barrier Reef inner zone
Fringing reefs and storm ridges, from inner-shelf sites on the Great Barrier Reef between 14° and 20° S, are examined for Holocene sea-level and climatic changes. The sites... -
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... -
Global sea-level change as a method of correlating the Late Permian coal...
Eustatic changes in sea level can be used to correlate sequences in widely separated areas. Thick terrestrial sequences with marine intercalations are especially suitable,... -
Pleistocene to Holocene planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Coral...
Fifteen of 27 potential planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic events from the latest Pliocene-Holocene have been examined; most of the early Pleistocene was not able to be... -
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... -
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... -
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...
