High-energy reef and terrigenous sedimentation, Boulder Reef, Great Barrier Reef
Sediment and water flux were monitored at Boulder Reef, in the Northern Great Barrier Reef, before, during, and after the passage of Tropical Cyclone Dominic. Rainfall at... -
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 Ninmaroo Formation (Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician) is one of several epeiric carbonate sequences in the Georgina Basin. It comprises ooid, peloid, flat-pebble... -
Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks dredged from the northern Exmouth...
The deeply incised northern margin of the Exmouth Plateau has been dredged extensively along seismic reflection profiles, in water 2000- 5600 m deep, by R. V. Sonne (Cruise... -
Palynostratigraphy of the central west Murray Basin
Palynological analyses have been undertaken on four fully cored boreholes in the central west Murray Basin (Woodlands-1, Manilla-I, Piangil West-2 and Hatfield-1 holes) to... -
Palynology of the Oligocene-Miocene sequence in the Oakvale-1 corehole,...
Palynological analysis of the marine Oligocene-Miocene Geera Clay and Renmark Group in the Oakvale-l corehole in the western Murray Basin has shown diverse and well-preserved... -
The "Geera Clay equivalent": a regressive marine unit in the Renmark Group...
Sandy clays deposited during the waning phase of Oligocene-Middle Miocene transgression of the Murray Basin conformablyoverlie the shallow to marginal marine Geera Clay and... -
Oldest Cretaceous sequence, Giralia Anticline, Carnarvon Basin, Western...
Outcrop of the oldest Cretaceous sequence in the Giralia Anticline and the Giralia No. 1 well, penetrating the same sequence, are described and biostratigraphically assessed in... -
Contrasting marginal sediments of a seasonally flooded saline lake - Lake...

Discussion: A recent paper (Ex on and Johnson, 1986) in this journal concluded that activity attributed in the past to the Cook submarine volcano, in the forearc region of the... -
Regional plate tectonics and the evolution of Australia's passive continental margins
The divergent, passive continental margins around Australia have evolved through the progressive dissection of eastern Gondwanaland in five separate seafloor-spreading episodes.... -
Stresses in the Australian crust: evidence from earthquakes and in-situ...
Evidence from earthquake focal mechanisms, in situ stress measurements, and surface deformations indicate that the Australian continent is in a state of substantial horizontal... -
The use of sediments to assess environmental impact on a large coastal...
Sediment samples (140) acquired from the estuarine and fluvial sections of the Hawkesbury River between Windsor (130 km from the coast) and Broken Bay have been analysed for... -
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... -
Geology of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus off northwest Australia:...
In this paper we present the first detailed geological information about the margins of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus. New single-channel seismic profiles helped to select... -
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... -
