Introduction to 'Antarctic Cenozoic Palaeoenvironments: Geologic Record and Models'
The Antarctic region has profoundly affected the global climates of the past 50 million years, influencing sea levels, atmospheric composition and dynamics, and ocean... -
The Influence of Geomorphology and Sedimentary Processes on Shallow-water...
The mapping of seabed environments is fundamental to successful fisheries management and environmental monitoring, however, there is an emerging need to better characterise... -
Disturbance of Intertidal Sediments: The Response of Bacteria and Foraminifera
Incubation experiments are common in marine experimental studies but the impact on organisms and geochemical parameters is poorly understood. Here, the re-establishment of... -
Bioregionalization of the George V Shelf, East Antarctica
The East Antarctic continental shelf has had very few studies examining the macrobenthos structure or relating biological communities to the abiotic environment. In this study,... -
Life at Cold Seeps: A Synthesis of Biogeochemical and Ecological Data from...
Recent field observations have identified the widespread occurrence of fluid seepage through the eastern Mediterranean Sea floor in association with mud volcanism or along deep... -
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... -
Carpentaria - Mt Isa Zinc Belt: basement framework, chronostratigraphy and...
Palaeoproterozoic sedimentary rocks of the McArthur-Mt Isa-Cloncurry mineral belt of northern Australia host the world's most important zinc repository, several world-class Cu-... -
Coral Spawn and Bathymetric Slicks in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Data...
Annular to crescent-shaped low back scatter SAR slicks over carbonate reefs and shoals in the Timor Sea with slick `feathering', and within the coral spawning period for the... -
Leg 188 Sythesis: Transitions in the Glacial History of the Prydz Bay...
Drilling during Leg 119 (1988) and Leg 188 (2000; Sites 1165-1167) of the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) provides direct evidence for long- and short-term changes in Cenozoic... -
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,... -
A reassessment of the petroleum systems in the offshore northern Perth Basin
The discovery of commercial oil in the Cliff Head-1 well in 2001 set an important milestone in the exploration history of the offshore northern Perth Basin. The region had been... -
Processes controlling the formation of the Mertz Drift, George Vth...
Recently discovered drift deposits on the Antarctic continental shelf provide access to information on the Holocene palaeoceanography of the bottom current regime within deep... -
Interactions between Fluid Flow, Geochemistry and Dibgeochemical Processes...
Since their first discovery 20 years ago, numerous cold seeps have been found, mainly along active and passive continental margins. Methane gas plays a key role in the global... -
Sediment Mobility due to currents and waves in the Torres Strait - Gulf of...
The MECO hydrodynamic model was adapted for the Torres Strait - Gulf of Papua region at 0.051 resolution. Validation of the hydrodynamic model was carried out against observed... -
Geophysical Studies of Australia's Remote Eastern Deep-Water Frontier:...
The Capel and Faust Basins in Australia's remote eastern offshore frontier, 800 km east of Brisbane in 1000-3000 m of water, are being studied as part of the Australian... -
The Haines Structure: A Probable Eocene Complex Impact Structure in the...
A seismic structure imaged in a single 2D seismic profile from the offshore Canning Basin, Western Australia, is interpreted to be a possible complex impact crater on the basis... -
Major achievements of the comparative geomorphology of estuaries project
Australia's near-pristine estuaries are some of our most valuable natural assets, with many natural and cultural heritage values. They are important as undisturbed habitat for... -
Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources
The Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources (SMCGR) project aims to improve the management of groundwater in coastal dune aquifers, which is used to supply water... -
History of benthic colonisation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community which has developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf in East... -
First Discovery of Dolomite and Magnesite in Living Coralline Algae and its...
Dolomite is a magnesium rich carbonate mineral abundant in ancient coral reef formations [1-3] yet very little is found forming in modern sedimentary environments. For over 150...
