Interpretation of new aeromagnetic data -
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,... -

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... -
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... -
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... -
Unconventional hydrocarbons - Australia's old rocks prove their worth
Australia’s search for petroleum began in the onshore basins where extensive areas of Paleozoic marine sequences, with some high-quality source rock intervals and spectacular... -
The Fitzroy Contaminants Project - A Study of the Nutrient and Fine-sediment...
The Fitzroy catchment is the largest Queensland catchment discharging to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon. Sediments and nutrients together with anthropogenic pollutants... -
Australia's Near-pristine Estuaries: Current Knowledge and Management
The purpose of this investigation was to collate previously disparate information on near-pristine estuaries and make it widely available for use by managers, researchers,... -
Surface and Sub-surface Geology and the Role of Basement Structure in the...
The Capel and Faust basins are part of the northern Lord Howe Rise, offshore eastern Australia. These frontier basins formed during the initial phases of extension leading to... -
Nutrient dynamics and pelagic primary production in coastal creeks...
This report describes the investigations into the coastal creek system conducted within the Fitzroy agricultural contaminants project. Before this work started there had been... -
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... -
Rift Evolution in the Capel and Faust Basins, Offshore Eastern Australia,...
The Capel and Faust basins are located on the northern Lord Howe Rise between eastern Australia and New Caledonia in water depths of 1300-2500 m. Under the Australian... -
A 1500 Year Record of Coastal Sediment Accumulation Preserved in Beach...
In this study of the beach-ridge plain at Keppel Bay, on the central coast of Queensland, we examine ridge morphology, sediment texture and geochemistry. We build a detailed... -
Sediment characteristics influencing benthic biodiversity across a tropical...
Geoscience Australia undertook seabed mapping surveys in the eastern Bonaparte Gulf in 2009/2010 to deliver integrated information relevant to marine biodiversity conservation... -
Capel and Faust Basins - New Information from the Offshore Frontier Between...
New geophysical and geological datasets have been acquired in water depths of 1300-2500m from the Capel and Faust basins located some 800 km east of Brisbane (Figure 1). Between... -
Improving our Knowledge of Australia's Near-pristine Estuaries
The central aim of the Comparative Geomorphology of Estuaries Project of the Coastal CRC was to improve our understanding of Australia's near-pristine estuaries. As the title... -
Effects of Abiotic Stressors on Infaunal Burrowing and Associated Sediment...
Infauna play key roles in nutrient cycling and bioturbation by facilitating exchange across the sediment-water interface, but the effects of environmental stressors on the...
