Processes controlling the formation of the Mertz Drift, George Vth...
Recently discovered drift deposits on the Antarctic continental shelf provide access to information on the Holocene palaeoceanography of the bottom current regime within deep... -
Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program and Geothermal Energy Project
Work at the Bureau of Mineral Resources (now Geoscience Australia) in the early 1990s was instrumental in bringing hot rocks geothermal research and development to Australia.... -
Carbon Geochemistry of Cold Seeps: Methane Fluxes and Transformation in...
Despite growing concerns about potential enhancement of global warming and slope failure by methane produced by gas hydrate dissociation, much uncertainty surrounds estimates of... -
Diatoms Control Nutrient Cycles in a Temperate, Wave-dominated Estuary...
Diatoms are important primary producers within pelagic, benthic end epiphytic communities and their siliceous frustule leads to rapid sinking to the sediment. As a consequence,... -
Novel method to concurrently sample the planktobenthos and benthos
The planktobenthos is an important area with unique environmental conditions and represents the immediate link between the benthos and the water column. Despite its close links... -
Towards spatially distributed quantitative assessment of tsunami inundation models
In this paper a new benchmark for tsunami model validation is pro- posed. The benchmark is based upon the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which provides a uniquely large amount of... -
Australia's Release of Offshore Areas for Greenhouse Gas Geological Storage
This is an article written as a contribution to the IEA GHG R&D Programme's quarterly newsletter (for publication in the June 2009 edition), at the invitation on the IEA GHG... -
Denitrification and Denitrifying Efficiencies in Sediments of Port Phillip...
High-precision measurements of N2 in benthic chamber waters indicated that denitrification occurs within the major sedimentary facies in Port Phillip Bay. The integrated fluxes... -
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 seismic survey (GA302) for... -
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... -
History of benthic colonisation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community which has developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf in East... -
Environmental Management of Clastic Coastal Depositional Environments:...
Simple, conceptual geomorphic models can assist environmental managers in making informed decisions regarding management of the coast at continental and regional scales. This... -
Biogeochemical Zones Within a Macrotidal, Dry-Tropical Fluvial-Marine...
The Fitzroy River delivers large amounts of nutrients and fine sediments to Keppel Bay (contiguous with the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon) during intermittent flow events. This... -
Aeromagnetic Interpretation and Petroleum Prospectivity Assessment -...
Interpretation of new aeromagnetic data -
Geophysical Studies of Australia's Remote Eastern Deep-Water Frontier:...
The Capel and Faust Basins in Australia's remote eastern offshore frontier, 800 km east of Brisbane in 1000-3000 m of water, are being studied as part of the Australian... -
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.... -
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... -
Physical Controls on Deep Water Coral Communities on the George V Land...
Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope at 570 - 950 m off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The... -
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... -
Special Issue in Honour of the Contribution of Michael Collins to Sediment...
A symposium was held at the University of Wales, Swansea in July 2007 to honour the career and achievements of Professor Michael Collins. The symposium was organised by...
