Miocene volcanic seamounts on northern Lord Howe Rise: lithology, age,...
Multibeam sonar swath-mapping has revealed small submarine volcanic cones on the northeastern Lord Howe Rise (LHR), a submerged ribbon continent. Two such cones, aligned NNW and... -

The Papua New Guinea/Australia Volcanological Service Support Project (VSS) Rabaul
The Volcanological Service Support Project was established as a result of the destructive 1994 volcanic eruption ( AusAID Focus Vol. 15 no.3 [PDF 878KB ]) at Rabaul and was... -
Geophysical Studies of Australia's Remote Eastern Deep-Water Frontier:...
The Capel and Faust Basins in Australia's remote eastern offshore frontier, 800 km east of Brisbane in 1000-3000 m of water, are being studied as part of the Australian... -
Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program and Geothermal Energy Project
Work at the Bureau of Mineral Resources (now Geoscience Australia) in the early 1990s was instrumental in bringing hot rocks geothermal research and development to Australia.... -
Surface and Sub-surface Geology and the Role of Basement Structure in the...
The Capel and Faust basins are part of the northern Lord Howe Rise, offshore eastern Australia. These frontier basins formed during the initial phases of extension leading to... -
Potential field and bathymetry grids of Australia's margins
The Australian Geological Survey Organistaion, in co-operation with Desmond Fitzgerald and Associates and the Australian Hydrographic Service, has produced a set of digital... -
Basement Architecture and Formation of an Ocean-continent Transform Boundary...
Basement architecture off western Tasmania is a legacy of late Neoproterozoic-Cambrian subduction-related processes, ocean basin closure and multiple accretionary events,... -
Hydrodynamic modelling of coastal inundation
Modelling the effects on the built environment of natural hazards such as riverine flooding, storm surges and tsunami is critical for understanding their economic and social... -
Rift Evolution in the Capel and Faust Basins, Offshore Eastern Australia,...
The Capel and Faust basins are located on the northern Lord Howe Rise between eastern Australia and New Caledonia in water depths of 1300-2500 m. Under the Australian...
