Structure and hydrocarbon potential of the Bremer Basin, southwest Australia
The Bremer Basin underlies part of the upper continental slope of offshore southwest Australia. It occupies an area of 9000 km2, and contains a sedimentary pile probably 10 km... -
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,... -
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... -
Salinity of deep formation water in the Canning Basin, Western Australia
Salinity of deep formation water in the Canning Basin, estimated from well log data or measured on water samples from oil-production wells and drill stem tests, ranges from... -
Australia's buoyancy inherited from Gondwanaland
In company with the other components and continental successors of the Neoproterozoic to Mesozoic Gondwanaland supercontinent, Phanerozoic Australia has a buoyant cratonic... -
Glacially grooved surfaces in the Grant Group, Grant Range, Canning Basin...
Grooved surfaces in Late Palaeozoic Grant Group rocks in the central Grant Range were cut by glacial ice. The orientation of the grooves and small step-like sedimentary... -
Aeolianites in the Jurassic Jurgurra Sandstone, Canning Basin, Western Australia
During the geological mapping of the Mount Anderson Sheet area of the Canning Basin in 1976, an exposure of the Jurassic Jurgurra Sandstone about 20 km north of the type... -
Western Australia: Phanerozoic geology and mineral resources
Phanerozoic rocks in onshore Western Australia are primarily sedimentary. Volcanic and intrusive rocks are known from only a few areas and are mostly related to continental... -

Sequence stratigraphy: a review of fundamental concepts and their...
Sequence stratigraphic concepts and techniques provide a powerful tool to analyse and predict stratal architecture and facies patterns within sedimentary basins. The concepts... -
Tectonic and sedimentary history of the Argo Abyssal Plain, eastern Indian Ocean
Bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles totalling about 2800 km, and covering about 110 000 km2 of the Argo Abyssal plain, have been analysed. The early emplacement of... -
Architecture and evolution of the Australian continental margin
Interpretation of key seismic profiles around the Australian margin clearly show that the three principal rift-drift segments (north-western/western, southern, and eastern) have... -
First record of Tethyan palynomorphs from the Late Triassic of East Antarctica
A well-preserved Late Triassic palynoflora from the upper Flagstone Bench Formation, Prince Charles Mountains, East Antarctica, contains taxa that are also widely distributed in... -
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... -
Lithology and diagenesis of the carbonate foundations of modern reefs in the...
In the southern Great Barrier Reef a relativel y thin (< 20 m) Holocene reef has developed on a foundation comprising a succession of older reefs. This reef foundation... -
Flushing of Australian estuaries, coastal lakes and embayments: an overview...
Examination of a simple, but quantitative parameter, Sf/So, the ratio of average salinity of a coastal waterway/marine source water salinity, both geographically and temporally,... -
Source rock potential and hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Darling Basin, NSW
Available geological and geophysical data for the dominantly Devonian Darling Basin of western New South Wales indicate a high risk for petroleum exploration. Hydrocarbon... -
Hydrogeology of a raised coral atoll - Niue Island, South Pacific Ocean
Niue Island, in the south Pacific Ocean, is a raised coral atoll with an area of 259 km^2. The original atoll rim is preserved as a peripheral ridge about 60 m above sea level,... -
Palaeozoic geology and resources of Victoria
Victoria provides the only well-exposed section across the southern part of the Lachlan Fold Belt and the easternmost Delamerides. Although the plate tectonic setting of this... -
