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... -
Mapping the spatial and temporal variability of the upwelling systems of...
Coast upwelling is important for marine ecosystems and economic, because of its elevated primary and secondary productivity and large fish catch. This study developed a scale-... -
Pre-cruise Report - Prydz Bay - MacRobertson Shelf and Kerguelen Plateau,...
This record describes the background, aims and methods to be employed in the second AGSO/Antarctic Co-operative Research Centre/ANARE marine geoscience program in Prydz Bay and... -
Characterization of uranium redox state in organic-rich marine sediments of...
Throughout geological history, marine organic-rich shales show variable but appreciable enrichment in uranium (U), < 5 to > 500 ppm. Here we report the results of high-... -
Including biogeochemical factors and a temporal component in benthic habitat...
Mapping of benthic habitats seldom considers biogeochemical variables or changes across time. We aimed to: (i) develop winter and summer benthic habitat maps for a sandy... -
Mapping the deep ocean: Geoscience Australia and the search for MH370
A short film describing the processes of bathymetric mapping and side scan sonar, used to gather data within the search area for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.... -
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,... -
Characterisation and Correlation of Active Hydrocarbon Seepage using...
For the first time in Australia, active present-day hydrocarbon seepage has been imaged on the tropical carbonate Yampi Shelf, in 50 and 90 m water depth. Seepage features... -
The Arrinthrunga Formation: Upper Cambrian epeiric carbonates in the...
The Arrinthrunga Formation (Upper Cambrian) in the Georgina Basin, central Australia, is a complex carbonate and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sequence deposited in an extensive... -
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,... -
Baseline biogeochemical data from Australia’s continental margin links...
Surficial marine sediments are an important source of nutrients for productivity and biodiversity yet the biogeochemistry of these sediments is poorly known in Australia. Seabed... -
Physical Controls on Deep Water Coral Communities on the George V Land...
Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope at 570 - 950 m off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The... -
Stratigraphy of the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary interval at the Lord Howe...
During Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Leg 21, Cenozoic and latest Cretaceous sediments were recovered at Site 208 on the Lord Howe Rise, Southwest Pacific. We provide new... -
Collection of depositional environment data from petroleum wells (known as...
A depositional environment is defined as a site where sediments (e.g. detrital, chemical) accumulated, governed by physical, biological, and chemical processes related to modern... -
IMOS - AusCPR: Biomass Index (mg/m3)
The Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey is a joint project between CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) to... -
Fossil Posters: Marine fossils
Six posters approximately A1 in size (31.5 x 25.59 inches) on prehistoric lifeforms. Each poster shows a sketch of the liveform, and a geological timescale showing the period... -
A Review of Spatial Interpolation Methods for Environmental Scientists
This review aims to provide some guidelines and suggestions in relation to the application of the methods to environmental data by comparing the features of the commonly applied... -
Still Images and Videos from Tasmanian Shelf survey
The Tasmanian Shelf survey was conducted on the Challenger in collaboration with the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute between the 13-16th June, 2008 and 23rd... -
Combined Marine and Land Potential-field Datasets for the Southwest Margin...
In 2010 and 2011, the Australian Government released exploration acreage in the Perth, Mentelle and Southern Carnarvon basins off the southwest margin of Australia. This release... -
Leg 189 Synthesis: Cretaceous-Holocene History of the Tasmanian Gateway
Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 189 drilled five sites in bathyal depths on submerged continental blocks in the Tasmanian Gateway, to help refine the hypothesis that its...
