Origins of groundwater salinity near Tresco, northwest Victoria
Core samples and groundwater from bores at Tresco, northern Victoria, in the southern margin of the Murray Basin, have been analysed for palynology and chemistry. An aquifer... -
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... -
Quaternary and modern environments of the Van Diemen Rise, Timor Sea, and...
Environmental baseline data are required for Australias offshore areas before petroleum exploration. This has boosted demand for analysis and interpretation of the Quaternary... -
Youngest Permian marine macrofossil fauna from the Bowen and Sydney Basins,...
The marine invertebrate macrofauna from the upper part of the Blenheim Subgroup of the Bowen Basin and the Kulnura Marine Tongue of the Sydney Basin is described. The fauna is... -
The sediments of the Argo Abyssal Plain and adjacent areas, northeast Indian Ocean
A series of geophysical traverses by the Atlantis II across the Argo Abyssal Plain, together with coring at a number of selected localities has provided new information on... -
Diagenesis of Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sandstones of the Eromanga Basin...
The Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sandstones of the Eromanga Basin in New South Wales can be divided into quartzose and volcanolithic petrofacies. The latter comprises... -
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 crustal structure of the Gulf of Papua and northwest Coral Sea
Interpretation of seismic refraction data from the southwestern coast of the Papuan Peninsula and the northwest Coral Sea gives consistent results using several inversion... -
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... -
Variation of crustal mass over the Australian region
Seismic refraction surveys in Australia and nearby marine areas provide data on crustal velocities and layer thicknesses. The averages of these at various places have been used... -
Geological history of the outer North West Shelf of Australia: a synthesis
This paper uses information contained in other papers in this issue of the AGSO Journal together with the scientific literature to produce a synthesis of the geological... -
Geological note: Igneous and sedimentary rocks dredged from the northern...
Altered basalt, dolerite and gabbro have been dredged from a previously unsampled portion of the Macquarie Ridge (47o-48° S), using the commercial fishing vessel Amaltal... -
The gravity field of offshore Australia
The free-air anomaly field of offshore Australia has been divided into about fifty regional gravity provinces, each of which is characterized by uniformity of trend, free-air... -
Planktonic foraminifera, age of sediments and polarity reversals, New...
Samples from the Rudiger Point-Cape Ruge area, New Britain, are not from a conformable late Miocene-earliest Pliocene sequence, as was presumed by previous workers, but rather... -
Regional variations in Australian heat flow
Twenty new heat-flow values from widely separated sites on the Australian continent are presented. These are combined with published land and marine data in the area 90-170°E,... -
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... -
Epeiric carbonate sedimentation of the Ninmaroo Formation (Upper...
The Ninmaroo Formation (Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician) is one of several epeiric carbonate sequences in the Georgina Basin. It comprises ooid, peloid, flat-pebble... -
Numerical techniques applied to the geochemistry of some estuarine sediments...
Q-mode factor analysis classified the estuarine samples from Broad Sound into two main geologically distinct groups representing intertidal and supratidal deposition. This... -
A reconnaissance investigation of the major Palaeozoic aquifers in the...
The Canning Basin is a large sedimentary basin with an onshore area of 430 000 km2. It has a thick, discontinuous succession of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic marine and continental... -
Stratigraphy and sedimentology of mid-Tertiary permeability barriers in the...
In the Murray Basin of southeastern Australia, the accelerated emergence of groundwater-related salinity problems in recent decades has led to the realisation that future...
