Sediments of the Late Palaeozoic Urana Formation in infrabasins beneath the Cainozoic Murray Basin include glaciomarine diamictite, fine-grained sediment, sandstone, and... -
Manganese nodules from the Tasman Sea off Sydney
Two manganese nodules were recently recovered by HMAS Kimbla from a water depth of 4300 m, in a northeast-trending trough about 250 nautical miles southeast of Sydney (155°... -
Quaternary and modern environments of the Van Diemen Rise, Timor Sea, and...
Environmental baseline data are required for Australias offshore areas before petroleum exploration. This has boosted demand for analysis and interpretation of the Quaternary... -

Drowned dolines - the blue holes of the Pompey Reefs, Great Barrier Reef
Blue holes occur at Cockatoo and Molar Reefs, in the Pompey hard line reefs. These two holes are roughly circular in shape, between 240-295 m in diameter, and 30-40 m deep. They... -
Archaeocyatha of the Amadeus and Georgina Basins
The Todd River Dolomite (Amadeus Basin) and Mount Baldwin Formation (Georgina Basin) are a part of the Early Cambrian platform cover of the central Australian craton. Marine... -
Management of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers in Queensland, Australia
Many Queensland rivers have extensive deltas, which have large reserves of groundwater. These deltas contain fertile land suitable for intense agricultural development with... -
Stable isotope and chemical studies of volcanic exhalations and thermal...
Thermal waters in Matupi Harbour and Sulphur Creek, Rabaul caldera have D/H and O18/O16 ratios that are indicative of a mixed source. They are the result of mixing of local... -
Terrigenous sedimentation in the central Great Barrier Reef lagoon: a model...
The central Great Barrier Reef Province is characterised by a mainland prograding terrigenous clastic shoreline and an inner shelf dominated by fluvially derived mud. The... -
Geoscientific investigations from the Scott Plateau off northwest Australia...
In 1977 the R.V. Valdivia carried out a survey between Scott Plateau and the Java Trench, during which 1700 km of 24-channel seismic data, and 2550 km of bathymetric, gravity... -
Palynostratigraphy of the Bookpurnong Beds and related Late Miocene-Early...
Dinoflagellates offer a reliable method for distinguishing the Late Miocene-Early Pliocene Bookpurnong beds from lithologically similar marginal marine sediments, such as the... -
Mesozoic Bivalvia from Clerke and Mermaid Canyons, northwest Australian...
Four sets of rock samples from two sites off the northwest Australian shelf in 3625-4480 m of water contain macrofaunas, mainly bivalves, of warm shallow-water origin. Mermaid... -
The Great Cumbung Swamp - terminus of the low-gradient Lachlan River,...
The Lachlan River rises in the humid highlands of southeastern Australia and flows westward into the Murray Basin. The climate is sub-humid to semi-arid and, as it crosses the... -
Calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy: an assessment of foraminiferal and...
From a study of middle to late Eocene calcareous nannofossil assemblages in four sections in the Otway Basin of southeastern Australia, a sequence of biostratigraphic events has... -
Geological evolution, tectonic style, and economic potential of the lawn...
The Lawn Hill Platform Cover comprises a sequence of mildly deformed Proterozoic sediments and volcanics that crop out northwest of Mount Isa. Three subdivisions are recognised... -
Hydrochemistry of a groundwater-seawater mixing zone, Nauru Island, central...
Nauru Island is a karstified dolomitic limestone island in the central Pacific Ocean. A thin, discontinuous freshwater layer overlies a thick brackish water mixing zone. In the... -
Holocene Palaeo-Environmental changes, central to north Great Barrier Reef inner zone
Fringing reefs and storm ridges, from inner-shelf sites on the Great Barrier Reef between 14° and 20° S, are examined for Holocene sea-level and climatic changes. The sites... -
The geochemistry of Lake Frome, a playa lake in South Australia
Lake Frome, a large playa in southeast South Australia, lies at the centre of an internal drainage basin. Sediments and brines in the lake were studied to determine if the... -
Thick ferromanganese deposits from the Dampier Ridge and the Lord Howe Rise...
Chemical and mineralogical data are presented for four ferromanganese samples (two nodules and two crusts) from two stations of the West German vessel Sonne. Three samples came... -
