Biomarker Evidence for Green and Purple Sulphur Bacteria in a Stratified...
The disappearance of iron formations from the geological record ~1.8 billion years (Gyr) ago was the consequence of rising oxygen levels in the atmosphere starting 2.45-2.32 Gyr... -
Disturbance of Intertidal Sediments: The Response of Bacteria and Foraminifera
Incubation experiments are common in marine experimental studies but the impact on organisms and geochemical parameters is poorly understood. Here, the re-establishment of... -
Biogeography of the Lord Howe Rise region, Tasman Sea
In this review we aim to synthesise physical and biological information on the Lord Howe Rise (LHR) region to describe its biogeography at a regional scale (100s of kilometres)... -
A Review of the Cenozoic Stratigraphy and Glacial History of the Lambert...
The Cenozoic glacial history of East Antarctica is recorded in part by the stratigraphy of the Prydz Bay-Lambert Graben region. The glacigene strata and associated erosion... -
Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources
The Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources (SMCGR) project aims to improve the management of groundwater in coastal dune aquifers, which is used to supply water... -
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... -
Modelling Bio-irrigation Rates in the Sediments of Port Phillip Bay
The introduction of a deuterium-enriched tracer to benthic incubation chambers emplaced on the sea floor of Port Phillip Bay provides a method of modelling bio-irrigation within... -
Geomorphology of the Australian Margin and Adjacent Seafloor
For the first time, the distribution of seafloor geomorphic features has been systematically mapped over much of the Australian margin and adjacent seafloor. Each of 21 feature... -
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for mapping marine biodiversity in...
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have only recently become available as a tool to investigate the biological and physical composition of the seabed utilizing a suite of... -
The Potential Impact of Bedform Migration on Seagrass Communities in Torres...
Seagrass communities in the northwest of Torres Strait are known to disappear episodically over broad areas. Sediment mobility surveys were undertaken within two study areas... -
Preliminary Results from Marine Seismic Survey GA302 over Capel and Faust Basins
Data from 50 sonobuoys were recorded over the Capel and Faust Basins, 800 km to the east of Australia in water depths 1500-2000 m, during a 2006/07 seismic survey (GA302) for... -
Interactions between Fluid Flow, Geochemistry and Dibgeochemical Processes...
Since their first discovery 20 years ago, numerous cold seeps have been found, mainly along active and passive continental margins. Methane gas plays a key role in the global... -
Petroleum prospectivity and CO2 storage assessment in the offshore Browse...
Under the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP) and the National Low Emissions Coal Initiative (NLECI), Geoscience Australia undertook multi-purpose basin analysis to address... -
The Influence of Geomorphology and Sedimentary Processes on Shallow-water...
The mapping of seabed environments is fundamental to successful fisheries management and environmental monitoring, however, there is an emerging need to better characterise... -
The application of physical surrogates as tools for benthic habitat mapping:...
The identification of marine habitats based on physical parameters is increasingly important for marine reserve design, allowing characterisation of habitat types over much... -
Miocene volcanic seamounts on northern Lord Howe Rise: lithology, age,...
Multibeam sonar swath-mapping has revealed small submarine volcanic cones on the northeastern Lord Howe Rise (LHR), a submerged ribbon continent. Two such cones, aligned NNW and... -
Seasonal Changes in Major Ions, Nutrients and Chlorophyll a at two Sites in...
Seasonal variations in major ions, nutrients and chlorophyll a were examined at two sites in the upper reaches of the Swan River estuary, Western Australia. Intra-annual... -
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.... -
Facies Evolution of Holocene Estuaries and Deltas: A Large-sample...
Selected geomorphic features and sedimentary facies were mapped in 283 of Australia's wave- and tide-dominated estuaries and deltas to quantitatively evaluate established... -
The Fitzroy Contaminants Project - A Study of the Nutrient and Fine-sediment...
The Fitzroy catchment is the largest Queensland catchment discharging to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon. Sediments and nutrients together with anthropogenic pollutants...
