The nature and origin of beach ridges, western Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
Two sets of beach ridges are known from the western side of Cape York Peninsula. The older set are thought to be late Pleistocene. They rest on a basement of older fan deposits... -
The evolution of One Tree Reef, Southern Great Barrier Reef, Queensland
One Tree Reef is one of fourteen reefs in the Capricorn Group, southern Great Barrier Reef. The reef has an asymmetrical triangular shape, 5.5 km long and 3 km wide, with a... -
The Great Artesian Basin, Australia
The Great Artesian Basin occupies 1.7 X 10^6 km^2, or about one-fifth of Australia, extending across parts of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern... -
High-energy reef and terrigenous sedimentation, Boulder Reef, Great Barrier Reef
Sediment and water flux were monitored at Boulder Reef, in the Northern Great Barrier Reef, before, during, and after the passage of Tropical Cyclone Dominic. Rainfall at... -
Growth fabrics and growth rates of Holocene reefs in the Great Barrier Reef
Over the past five years, scientists of the Bureau of Mineral Resources and James Cook University of North Queensland have drilled 61 holes into 24 reefs throughout the Great... -
Epeiric carbonate sedimentation of the Ninmaroo Formation (Upper...
The Ninmaroo Formation (Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician) is one of several epeiric carbonate sequences in the Georgina Basin. It comprises ooid, peloid, flat-pebble... -
Early Devonian thelodonts (Agnatha) from the Toko Syncline, western...
Thelodont scales recovered from the basal (calcareous) unit of the Cravens Peak Beds in the Georgina Basin, are referable to Turinia australiensis Gross, 1971, T. cf. pagei... -
Structure and stratigraphy of the central Great Barrier Reef
The Cainozoic evolution of the central Great Barrier Reef Province has been deduced from shallow, intermediate, and deep focus seismic reflection profiling. For much of its... -
The determination of suspended-sediment loads in the southern Great Barrier...
A mechanical system for collecting samples of suspended sediment in the water column at various stages of a tidal cycle, together with measurement of tidal current velocities,... -
Lithology and diagenesis of the carbonate foundations of modern reefs in the...
In the southern Great Barrier Reef a relativel y thin (< 20 m) Holocene reef has developed on a foundation comprising a succession of older reefs. This reef foundation... -
Suspended-sediment transport and water movement at One Tree Reef, southern...
One Tree Reef, in the southern Great Barrier Reef, is roughly triangular, with the southeast corner forming the windward margin, and the northwest side the leeward margin. In... -
Some aspects of lagoon sedimentation and circulation at One Tree Reef,...
Observations of water movement at One Tree Reef under modal wind, wave, and tide conditions show that the lagoon currents are insufficient to entrain lagoon sediments and cannot... -
Great Artesian Basin - Geomorphology
This dataset classifies the geomorphological features of the GAB and includes the offshore extents of the GAB beneath the Gulf of Carpentaria. The geomorphological... -
Reef growth, southern Great Barrier Reef - preliminary results
The reefs of the Capricorn-Bunker Group in the southern Great Barrier Reef were the focus of a Bureau of Mineral Resources survey in September-October 1976. Subaerial and... -
Marine benthic communities in the Early Carboniferous of New South Wales...
The Delepinea aspinosa brachiopod Zone comprises two subzones: the Inflatia elegans and Linoprotonia tenuirugosa Subzones. Multivariate (cluster) analysis is used to identify... -
Pleistocene to Holocene planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Coral...
Fifteen of 27 potential planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic events from the latest Pliocene-Holocene have been examined; most of the early Pleistocene was not able to be... -
Sedimentary cycles in the Surat Basin and global changes of sea level
Six sedimentary cycles, each hundreds of metres thick, have been recognised in the Surat Basin. The Jurassic cycles (nos. 1-4) typically started with high-energy deposition of... -
Numerical techniques applied to the geochemistry of some estuarine sediments...
Q-mode factor analysis classified the estuarine samples from Broad Sound into two main geologically distinct groups representing intertidal and supratidal deposition. This... -
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... -
Drowned dolines - the blue holes of the Pompey Reefs, Great Barrier Reef
Blue holes occur at Cockatoo and Molar Reefs, in the Pompey hard line reefs. These two holes are roughly circular in shape, between 240-295 m in diameter, and 30-40 m deep. They...
