Shallow penetration, high resolution seismic profiling, with simultaneous sea floor coring found large areas of sea floor to be barren of unconsolidated Holocene sediment, or to be unsuitable for beach replenishment. Four prospects are identified...

About 87 percent of Port Lincoln's construction sand is obtained from the coastal zone about 20 km north of the city. The remainder, from Strawberry Hill, contains about 10% fines and is blended with clean sand from Louth Bay to meet specifications....

Significant anthropogenic land subsidence within the Port Adelaide estuary of up to 0.7 metres is inferred from the Holocene stratigraphy and associated radiocarbon dates on materials that act as palaeo-sea level indicators. Principal contributing...

Soil air carbon dioxide and oxygen measurements as a guide to oxidising sulphide have been assessed by several researchers and government geological surveys in the United States, Ireland, Africa and Saudi Arabia over the period 1983-1990. The...

This paper describes the type fossil occurrences, their present-day geological setting and, as deduced from properties of the host sediments, their interpreted palaeogeographic locations and palaeoenvironmental depositional facies which probably...

Stable isotopes (deuterium, carbon-13 and oxygen-18) and radiocarbon (carbon-14) have been used in conjunction with chemical data to evaluate recharge mechanisms, groundwater residence time and palaeohydrology within the confined Dilwyn Formation sand...

Reassessment of age frequency of published and unpublished radiocarbon dates from the Strzelecki Desert and Lake Frome - Lake Callabonna region in northeastern South Australia has delineated some Late Pleistocene climatic events. These include...

A total of 12 water supply wells were drilled in the Pitjantjatjara and Maralinga Aboriginal Lands, from March to July 1993, to supply water for the AGSO/DME Officer Basin Seismic Survey. This report documents drilling information and chemical...

NOAA-AVHRR images of the Officer Basin were used to enhance spectral signatures of interpreted palaeodrainage networks with potential economic significance in that region. A vast agglomeration of Tertiary palaeodrainage can be observed in the Officer...

A wetland treatment aquifer storage/recovery scheme is operational at Regent Gardens housing development, Adelaide. Water quality monitoring of the wetland has been undertaken during 1994 to determine the relationship between turbidity, suspended...

There are no known major water resources in the northwest Gawler Craton area. The groundwater that is used for stock occurs in Tertiary sediments and weathered basement overlying the Gawler Craton. A Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) survey which was...

The Murray Basin contains major deposits of heavy mineral sands, and intensive exploration for them is currently being conducted in Victoria, SA and NSW. It is evident that the western part of the basin was well supplied during the Pliocene and Early...

This Report describes a number of Permian glacial features from the northwestern section of Fleurieu Peninsula (Fig. 1), from where little information is available. The observations reported here provide further evidence on the characteristics of...

Thirty-five thin sections prepared from stored North Broken Hill drill cores indicate that conglomeratic sandstones classified as Emeroo Subgroup, and red siltstones classified as Callanna Group, could alternatively be lateral equivalents of 1 major...

Silica Beach, 45 km SSE of Streaky Bay, is the source of a well sorted and well rounded, very coarse-grained sand, extracted in limited quantities since 1970 for filtration and other uses at Whyalla Steelworks. Sand and gravel are derived locally from...

A promotional brochure for vacant offshore Otway Basin petroleum exploration acreage, designed for release overseas to potential corporate bidders, prior to gazettal of the area for permit applications in November 1992. Area S92-1 covering 4736 square...

Because of the close interaction between surface water and groundwater in the Torrens River catchment, a number of groundwater issues were highlighted as a contribution to the Torrens Catchment Water Management Plan. These include the potential for...

The Upper South-East Dryland Salinity and Flood Management Plan proposals aim to address the worsening salinisation problems now clearly visible in the area. This report provides feasibility and preliminary project design data to the EWS engineers who...

Mount Barker Creek 1 was drilled by MESA Mineral Provinces Branch at a location 30 km southeast of Adelaide during May 1994 to test a model of stratiform lead-zinc mineralisation within the Kanmantoo Trough, and to confirm the composition and...
