Incorporation of Organic Contaminants in Geochemical Samples and an...
Organic geochemists are increasingly involved in multi-disciplinary collaborative studies but not often in the initial sample collection phase, so understanding the origin and... -
A reassessment of the petroleum systems in the offshore northern Perth Basin
The discovery of commercial oil in the Cliff Head-1 well in 2001 set an important milestone in the exploration history of the offshore northern Perth Basin. The region had been... -
Ashmore Reef's sedimentological response to the Holocene sea level rise
Positioned at the transition zone of the major hydrocarbon provinces of Browse and Bonaparte Basins, Ashmore Reef is built on what is thought to be Pleistocene antecedent... -
A New Coral Reef Province in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia:...
Multibeam sonar mapping, drill cores and underwater video data have confirmed the existence of a previously unknown reef province in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia. Seven... -
Quaternary Calcarenite Stratigraphy on Lord Howe Island, Southwestern...
Lord Howe Island is a small, mid-ocean volcanic and carbonate island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Skeletal carbonate eolianite and beach calcarenite on the island are... -
The Influence of Geomorphology and Sedimentary Processes on Shallow-water...
The mapping of seabed environments is fundamental to successful fisheries management and environmental monitoring, however, there is an emerging need to better characterise... -
Major achievements of the comparative geomorphology of estuaries project
Australia's near-pristine estuaries are some of our most valuable natural assets, with many natural and cultural heritage values. They are important as undisturbed habitat for... -
Sydney Harbour Sediment Sampling Results: Cooperative Research Centre for...
This Milestone Report documents the results of the analysis of sediment samples collected during the survey of Sydney Harbour in August, 2003. The samples were collected by... -
The Geology of a Large Submerged Continental Block: the Kenn Plateau Off...
In general, we met the scientific objective of this voyage in improving our understanding of the geological evolution and modern environmental setting of the poorly known Kenn... -
Ice shelf grounding zone features of western Prydz Bay, Antarctica...
Several grounding zone wedges were left on the floor and flanks of Prydz Channel in western Prydz Bay by the Lambert Glacier during the last glacial cycle. Seismic profiles... -
Applications of Geophysical Information to the Design of a Representative...
Management of the marine environment in Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone is addressed by an Oceans Policy that was put forward by the government in 1998. The policy is being... -
On the Use of Abiotic Surrogates to Describe Marine Benthic Biodiversity
A growing need to manage marine biodiversity at local, regional and global scales cannot be met by applying the limited existing biological data sets. Abiotic surrogacy is... -
Seismic Stratigraphy and Sediment Distribution on the Wilkes Land and Terre...
Seismic reflection data show the existence of two major sedimentary basins along the continental margin of Wilkes Land and Terre Adélie, East Antarctica, that contain more than... -
Estimating the biodiversity of the East Antarctic shelf and oceanic zone for...
Ecoregions are defined in terms of community structure in function of abiotic or even anthropogenic forcing. They are mesoscale structures defined on the potential habitat of... -
Petroleum prospectivity and CO2 storage assessment in the offshore Browse...
Under the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP) and the National Low Emissions Coal Initiative (NLECI), Geoscience Australia undertook multi-purpose basin analysis to address... -
Sediment Mobility due to currents and waves in the Torres Strait - Gulf of...
The MECO hydrodynamic model was adapted for the Torres Strait - Gulf of Papua region at 0.051 resolution. Validation of the hydrodynamic model was carried out against observed... -
Late Neogene Ice Drainage Changes in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica and the...
During the late Neogene, the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf drainage system flowed across Prydz Bay and showed several changes in flow pattern. In the Early Pliocene, the... -
Geomorphology of the Australian Margin and Adjacent Seafloor
For the first time, the distribution of seafloor geomorphic features has been systematically mapped over much of the Australian margin and adjacent seafloor. Each of 21 feature... -
Physical Controls on Coral Communities on the George V Land Slope: Some...
Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The challenge is now to... -
