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... -
Integrated approach to CO2 storage assessment in the offshore South Perth...
As part of the Australian Government National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP), Geoscience Australia is undertaking CO2 storage assessment of the Vlaming Sub-basin located... -
Geology-benthos Relationships on a Temperate Rocky Bank, Eastern Bass...
To better understand the possible relationships between the geology of the seabed and the associated biological communities, a multibeam sonar survey over New Zealand Star Bank... -
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... -
Multi-scale Fish-habitat Associations and the Use of Habitat Surrogates to...
Deep-water demersal fishes are an important component of continental shelf and slope ecosystems and play an important role in the economies of many countries. Strong and... -
An Initial Assessment of Estuarine Geomorphic Habitats as Indicators of...
An important aim of the comparative geomorphology of estuaries project was to increase understanding of the environmental characteristics of near-pristine estuaries and provide... -
Classification of the Australian Continental Shelf Based on Predicted...
Estimates of significant wave height and period, together with tidal current speed over a semi-lunar cycle, were used to predict the area on the Australian continental shelf... -
Including biogeochemical factors and a temporal component in benthic habitat...
Mapping of benthic habitats seldom considers biogeochemical variables or changes across time. We aimed to: (i) develop winter and summer benthic habitat maps for a sandy... -
Macrobenthic Activity and its Effects on Biogeochemical Reactions and Fluxes
Ocean margins are the transitional zones between the oceans and continents. They represent dynamic systems in which numerous processes shape the environment and result in... -
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... -
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,... -
Statistical modelling of extreme ocean climate with incorporation of storm clustering
Knowledge of extreme ocean climate is essential for the accurate assessment of coastal hazards to facilitate risk informed decision making in coastal planning and management.... -
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... -
d18O Seasonality of Planktonic Foraminifera from Southern Ocean Sediment...
The oxygen isotopic record obtained from Globigerina bulloides, Globorotalia inflata, and Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (s.) was analysed for 5 sediment traps moored in the... -
Geomorphology and Sediment Transport in Keppel Bay, Central Queensland, Australia
Keppel Bay is a macrotidal environment that represents the interface of the large catchment of the Fitzroy River with the southern GBR continental shelf. In this study, we... -
Submerged banks in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, greatly increase...
Anthropogenic global ocean warming is predicted to cause bleaching of many near-sea-surface (NSS) coral reefs, placing increased importance on deeper reef habitats to maintain... -
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... -
Four-dimensional connectivity modelling with application to Australia's...
A fully four-dimensional (3D × time) object-oriented biophysical dispersal model was developed to simulate the movement of marine larvae over semi-continuous surfaces. The model... -
Sediment Core from Beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, Suggests...
The stability of floating ice shelves is an important indicator of ocean circulation and ice-shelf mass balance. A sub-ice -shelf sediment core collected during the Austral... -
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...
