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... -
Submarine valleys on the Ceduna Terrace off South Australia
A detailed bathymetric map has been compiled for the Ceduna Terrace, off South Australia. The most striking features of the bathymetry are numerous submarine valleys, which... -
Structure and hydrocarbon potential of the Bremer Basin, southwest Australia
The Bremer Basin underlies part of the upper continental slope of offshore southwest Australia. It occupies an area of 9000 km2, and contains a sedimentary pile probably 10 km... -
Stratigraphy and sedimentology of mid-Tertiary permeability barriers in the...
In the Murray Basin of southeastern Australia, the accelerated emergence of groundwater-related salinity problems in recent decades has led to the realisation that future... -

Sandy clays deposited during the waning phase of Oligocene-Middle Miocene transgression of the Murray Basin conformablyoverlie the shallow to marginal marine Geera Clay and... -
Stratigraphy and palynology of Mesozoic sediments from the Great Australian...
The offshore Mesozoic Bight and Duntroon Basins formed through rifting and separation of the Australian and Antarctic plates. Palynological investigation of samples dredged from... -
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... -
The late Cainozoic sequence of southeast South Australia and Pleistocene...
A recent drilling program in southeast South Australia has provided new insight into the late Cainozoic sequence of that area. Uplift of the region occurred during the... -
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... -
Palynology of the Oligocene-Miocene sequence in the Oakvale-1 corehole,...
Palynological analysis of the marine Oligocene-Miocene Geera Clay and Renmark Group in the Oakvale-l corehole in the western Murray Basin has shown diverse and well-preserved... -
Relative fall of Holocene sea level and coastal progradation, northeastern...
The levels of intertidal environments of prograding Holocene coastal complexes of northeast Spencer Gulf have been precisely measured and their relation with the tidal range... -
Vegetation and climate of the late Cainozoic in the Murray Basin and their...
The Murray Basin was forested throughout the Tertiary, becoming open woodlands and grasslands in Plio-Pleistocene time. Precipitation was very high through the early Tertiary,... -
Contrasting marginal sediments of a seasonally flooded saline lake - Lake...
Lake Eliza is a hypersaline coastal lake in southeast South Australia, a region of winter rainfall and summer drought. It is fed by ground waters and has no connection with the... -

Relationships, thicknesses, and palaeocurrent and other sedimentary data applying to facies associations in Eumeralla Formation outcrops in the eastern Otway Basin distinguish... -
Palynostratigraphy of the Bookpurnong Beds and related Late Miocene-Early...
Dinoflagellates offer a reliable method for distinguishing the Late Miocene-Early Pliocene Bookpurnong beds from lithologically similar marginal marine sediments, such as the... -

The Maastrichtian and early Tertiary record of the Great Australian Bight...
Samples dredged during BMR Survey 66 by KV, Rig Seismic in the central Great Australian Bight Basin are examined and their calcareous nannofossils are recorded. The... -
The geochemistry of Lake Frome, a playa lake in South Australia
Lake Frome, a large playa in southeast South Australia, lies at the centre of an internal drainage basin. Sediments and brines in the lake were studied to determine if the...
