Bathymetric Expression of the Fitzroy River Palaeochannel: Implications for...
We report the presence of a prominent bathymetric expression of the Fitzroy River palaeochannel on the continental shelf of the southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia. The... -
Risks Posed to the Antarctic Marine Environment by Acoustic Isntruments, a...
The risks posed by a range of acoustic scientific instruments were assessed by the construction of matrices of scale and likelihood. We recognized six levels of impact ranging... -

The identification of marine habitats based on physical parameters is increasingly important for marine reserve design, allowing characterisation of habitat types over much... -
Seasonal Changes in Major Ions, Nutrients and Chlorophyll a at two Sites in...
Seasonal variations in major ions, nutrients and chlorophyll a were examined at two sites in the upper reaches of the Swan River estuary, Western Australia. Intra-annual... -
Laboratory Methods for Evaluating Migrated High Molecular Weight...
A laboratory study has been conducted to determine the best methods for the detection of C10 to C40 hydrocarbons at naturally occurring oil seeps in marine sediments. The... -
Sedimentological Signatures of the Sub-Amery Ice Shelf Circulation
Two sediment cores collected from beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica describe the physical sedimentation patterns beneath an existing major embayed ice shelf. Core... -
Cenozoic Volcanism of the Capel-Faust Basins, Northern Lord Howe Rise
A recent survey by Geoscience Australia acquired new exploration data and samples in the frontier offshore Lord Hose Rise (LHR) Capel-Faust region. This survey identified a... -
