Fresh groundwater stored in Australian coastal aquifers constitutes an important resource for humans and the natural environment. However, many Australian coastal aquifers are... -
Heavy mineral deposits of the North Coast beaches
The principal heavy mineral deposits occur along the stretch of beaches from Ballina to Tweed Heads, in northern New South Wales, though lesser, but still commercial,... -
Towards spatially distributed quantitative assessment of tsunami inundation models
In this paper a new benchmark for tsunami model validation is pro- posed. The benchmark is based upon the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which provides a uniquely large amount of... -
Mapping and characterising soft-sediment habitats, and evaluating physical...

This document represents part of Geoscience Australia's contribution to the National Estuaries Assessment and Management (NE) project, Theme 5 (Assessment and Monitoring), Task... -
Using Inherent Optical Properties to Investigate Biogeochemical Dynamics in...
The variability in the inherent optical properties along an estuary-coast-ocean continuum in tropical Australia has been studied. The study area, the Fitzroy Estuary and Keppel... -
Effect of sewage nutrients on algal production, biomass and species...
Microalgal blooms are one of the most visible responses to anthropogenic nutrient loadings in coastal ecosystems. However, differentiating sources of nutrients causing blooms... -
New Quartz SAR-OSL Ages from the Stranded Beach Dune Sequence in South-east...
A sequence of stranded coastal barriers in south-east South Australia preserves a record of sea-level variations over the past 800 ka. Huntley et al. (Quat. Sci. Rev. 12 (1993a)... -
