Geomorphology and Evolution of the Gigantic Murray Canyons on the Australian...
The Murray Canyons are a group of deeply-incised submarine canyons on a steep 400-km section of the continental slope off Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Some of the canyons... -
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... -
Chemical, Biological and Hydrological Controls on the 14C Content of Cold...
Understanding the hydrology of cold seep environments is crucial to perform accurate estimates of fluid and chemical fluxes at sedimentary wedges. Shallow convection processes... -
Statistical modelling of extreme ocean climate with incorporation of storm clustering
Knowledge of extreme ocean climate is essential for the accurate assessment of coastal hazards to facilitate risk informed decision making in coastal planning and management.... -
Macrobenthic Activity and its Effects on Biogeochemical Reactions and Fluxes
Ocean margins are the transitional zones between the oceans and continents. They represent dynamic systems in which numerous processes shape the environment and result in... -
Effect of sewage nutrients on algal production, biomass and species...
Microalgal blooms are one of the most visible responses to anthropogenic nutrient loadings in coastal ecosystems. However, differentiating sources of nutrients causing blooms... -
Seafloor Morphology and Acoustic Facies of the George V Land Shelf
To study the seafloor morpholofy on the George V land shelf, East Antarctica, over 2000 kilometres of high-frequency echo-sounder data were collected between February and March... -
The relationship between sediment and water quality and riverine sediment...
We examine surface sediment and water column total nutrient and chlorophyll a concentrations for 12 estuaries with average water depths <4 m, and calculated sediment loads... -
Australia's Near-pristine Estuaries: Current Knowledge and Management
The purpose of this investigation was to collate previously disparate information on near-pristine estuaries and make it widely available for use by managers, researchers,... -
Pliocene-Pleistocene glaciomarine sedimentation in eastern Prydz Bay and...
Lithostratigraphy, grain sizes and down-hole logs of Site 1166 on the continental shelf, and Site 1167 on the upper slope, are analyzed to reconstruct glacial processes in... -
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... -
Development, Composition and Age of Indurated Sand Layers in the Late...
Indurated sand is commonly found in Quaternary coastal deposits in a range of temperate and tropical environments. These horizons can record past regionally significant phases... -
Wind Generated Tool Marks Resembling Trace Fossils in a Shallow Estuarine Environment
A suite of tool marks were observed in the seaward section of a small estuary on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The marks were formed through wind dragging... -
Sedimentation and continental slope processes in the vicinity of an ocean...
Digital echo sounding, SeaBeam swath bathymetry data and sediment cores were collected on the continental slope off southeastern Tasmania in order to study sedimentary processes... -
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... -
Coastal and Estuarine Studies: Interactions between Macro- and...
Marine sediments support complex interactions between macro- and microorganisms. What is the state of the science on such interactions from costal and estuarine environments to... -
Geochemical characteristics of hydrocarbon families and petroleum systems,...
The Vulcan Sub-basin has been actively explored for over twenty years, with oil production from the Jabiru and Challis-Cassini fields, and the depleted Skua Field, all of which... -
Progress towards an understanding of tsunami risk in NSW
Tsunamis pose considerable risk to coastal communities around the globe and understanding this risk is a key aspect of emergency management and risk reduction. This paper... -
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... -
Geomorphological Evolution of Lord Howe Island and Carbonate Production at...
Lord Howe Island is a volcanic island, rising to over 800 m, draped with Late Quaternary submarine and subaerial carbonate sediments. The island and neighbouring islets lie...
