The Proterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks of The Granites-Tanami region, Western...
The Granites-Tanami region links the mainly Proterozoic areas of northwestern and central Australia. It is made up of two main tectonic units: The Granites-Tanami Block, which... -
Late quaternary regional controls on the development of the Great Barrier...
High-resolution seismic reflection data have been examined in an attempt to identify and explain some of the regional differences and controls on the development of the Great... -
Devonian fish remains from Billiluna, eastern Canning Basin, Western Australia
Fragmentary remains of Devonian fishes are described from the Knobby Sandstone, a thick non-marine clastic formation in the eastern Canning Basin, which is a potential petroleum... -
Gradational benthic marine communities in the Early Carboniferous...
Four benthic marine fossil commumtles are recognised in faunas of the Rhipidomella fortimuscula brachiopod Zone of late Visean (Early Carboniferous) age using multivariate... -
A reconnaissance investigation of the major Palaeozoic aquifers in the...
The Canning Basin is a large sedimentary basin with an onshore area of 430 000 km2. It has a thick, discontinuous succession of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic marine and continental... -
Upper Triassic spongiomorph and coral association dredged off the...
Upper Triassic corals and spongiomorphs dredged during BMR Cruise 95 from the Rowley Terrace, offshore Canning Basin of northwestern Australia, indicate possible new occurrences... -
The sediments of the Argo Abyssal Plain and adjacent areas, northeast Indian Ocean
A series of geophysical traverses by the Atlantis II across the Argo Abyssal Plain, together with coring at a number of selected localities has provided new information on... -
Chemistry of manganese nodules from the Cape Leeuwin field off Western Australia
A preliminary report on the manganese nodule field southwest of Western Australia published in this Journal recently (Frakes, Exon and Granath, 1977) quoted chemical analyses... -
Impact of runoff on nutrient patterns in northern Port Phillip Bay, Victoria
As part of the Port Phillip Bay Environmental Study, bay-wide nutrient (ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate) and chlorophyll a distributions were measured at monthly... -
The use of sediments to assess environmental impact on a large coastal...
Sediment samples (140) acquired from the estuarine and fluvial sections of the Hawkesbury River between Windsor (130 km from the coast) and Broken Bay have been analysed for... -
Mesozoic outcrops on the lower continental slope off Exmouth, Western Australia
Seismic reflection profiles over the southwestern margin of the Exmouth Plateau, which have been tentatively tied to the Northwest Shelf stratigraphic sequence, indicate that... -
Significance of calcareous nannofossil-bearing Jurassic and Cretaceous...
Examination of dredge hauls taken from the Rowley Terrace, northwest Australia, has revealed the occurrence of several Mesozoic nannofossil-bearing levels. Dating has been... -
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... -
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... -
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,... -
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... -
The ancient Murray River system
It has previously been suggested that an ancient Murray River once extended across the present line of the Mt Lofty Ranges, and emptied into Spencer Gulf. Evidence available... -
Interactions between saline redbed groundwaters and peritidal carbonates,...
A commonly cited model for the genesis of stratiform Cu deposits that lack either igneous or hydrothermal associations has been tested in modern environments, on the... -
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...
