ost of Salinity to Local Infrastructure 1996-97 – Total cost of the rail component of infrastructure based on the best estimate as described in the project reports. Costs are estimates of the impact of the extent of salinity projected to occur in 2020

    

This dataset contains 14 national surfaces, represented by 1km grids, relating
to the cost of salinity damage to local infrastructrure. The infrastructure
cost impacts are limited to those that occur at the location of salinity
problem, downstream and other offsite impacts are not covered. All dollar
values are given in 1996/97 Australian dollars. Each is described as
follows:1. Total cost ($) to all infrastructure (buildings, road, rail and
bridges) based on the low, abesta and high estimates of the impact of the
current (2000) extent of salinity.2. Total cost ($) to all infrastructure
(buildings, road, rail and bridges) based on the low, abesta and high
estimates of the impact of predicted 2020 extent of salinity3. Total cost ($)
the general infrastructure component (buildings etc., derived from population)
as the abesta estimate of the impact of the current (2000) extent of
salinity.4. Total cost ($) the general infrastructure component (buildings

On the Visibility of Indigenous Australian systems of Marine Tenure: TECHNICAL REPORT

Between 1921 and 1977 twelve anthropologists worked in coastal communities of Arnhem Land in Australia's Northern Territory, researching and writing about land tenure, among other things, yet not one of them mentioned the existence of a system of customary marine tenure (for the resulting publications see: Tindale 1925-6; Warner 1937; Worsley 1954; Berndt 1964,1970,1976; Rose 1960; Hiatt 1965; Shapiro 1969; Turner 1974; Meehan 1982; Morphy 1991; Keen 1994;Williams 1986). Some of them such as Ronald Berndt (1976) actually mapped sites in the sea. Today there is a well developed and dynamic system of indigenous marine tenure along the Arnhem Land Coast. This lack of visibility raises a number of questions including how old these systems are and why if they have any antiquity they have not been more visible.

Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon with increasing depth in core GC11, located in the Capricorn Channel

A gravity core (GC11) was collected from a depth of 502 mbsl within the Capricorn Channel, southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The data from stable isotopes of Globigerinoides ruber were analysed to allow a preliminary understanding of the hemipelagic sedimentary environment over the last glacial / interglacial cycle. The results suggest that the core reaches the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at ~30cm depth. From matching the 18O G. ruber curve with Martinson et al. (1987), 4 glacial cycles can be determined, incorporating Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 1 through to MIS 11. Isotopically heavier 18O values at ~460cm, ~345cm, 150cm, and 30cm correspond respectively to MIS 10, MIS 8, MIS 6 and the LGM. The d13C shows a trough lagging behind the 18O high during the glacial, although there are considerable fluctuations between MIS 8 and 6.

Ocean temperatures over time estimated from planktonic foraminifera assemblages in core MD032607 located off South Australia. Estimates are provided for the sea-surface, 50m, 100m, and 150m

In recent years the term 'enhanced greenhouse effect' has become well known in modern society and yet aspects of this possible 'future climate' are poorly understood. The characteristics of the geological record provide a basis to understand this possible future climate through the examination of alternating glacial (cold) and interglacial (warm) stages. Understanding the variability of sea-surface temperature and biological processes in the water column provides insight into general circulation of present and paleo-ocean currents. From core MD032607 the annual mean SST (Tmean) indicates a temperature range of 9oC±0.84oC between Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6 to MIS 5, representing the largest sea surface temperature (SST) transition from a glacial to interglacial. The results also suggest that there is more stratification in the water column during interglacial periods as opposed to glacials. Conversely, temperatures gradients are reduced during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and MIS 6 suggesting a well mixed homogenised mixed layer.

Ocean temperatures over time estimated from planktonic foraminifera assemblages in core MD002361 located on the shelf edge off Western Australia. Estimates are provided for the sea-surface, 50m, 100m, and 150m

In recent years the term 'enhanced greenhouse effect' has become well known in modern society and yet aspects of this possible 'future climate' are poorly understood. The characteristics of the geological record provide a basis to understand this possible future climate through the examination of alternating glacial (cold) and interglacial (warm) stages. Understanding the variability of sea-surface temperature and biological processes in the water column provides insight into general circulation of present and paleo-ocean currents. At a core site off Western Australia (MD002361, 113.477166 E, 22.082 S) the highest annual SST estimate (Tmean) of 29.1oC ± 0.84oC was recorded during MIS 5, 1.6oC warmer than the modern recorded Tmean. Most interglacial periods were equivalent or warmer than present apart from Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 7. The most extreme glacial to interglacial transition was from the penultimate glacial period (MIS 6) to the last interglacial (MIS 5) with a temperature range of 8.7oC ± 0.84oC. The mixed layer is also thinner during interglacial periods compared to the glacial periods.

Understanding the variability of sea-surface temperature and biological processes in the water column provides insight into general circulation of present and paleo-ocean currents. The core obtained offshore from Sumatra (BAR9043, 104.0316E, 5.82S) highlights an upwelling signal at 14,000 yrs BP that disrupts the warm stratified water column, which was a feature between Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 to present. This upwelling is timed to a regional pattern of an intensified Australasian Monsoon.

This resource contains geochemistry data for the Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve (CMR) in the Timor Sea collected by Geoscience Australia during September and October 2012 on RV Solander (survey GA0339/SOL5650). This dataset comprises carbonate concentrations and specific surface area measurments on the upper 2 cm of seabed sediments. The Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve survey was undertaken as an activity within the Australian Government's National Environmental Research Program Marine Biodiversity Hub and was the key component of Research Theme 4 - Regional Biodiversity Discovery to Support Marine Bioregional Plans. Hub partners involved in the survey included the Australian Institute of Marine Science, Geoscience Australia, the University of Western Australia, Museum Victoria and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. Data acquired during the survey included: multibeam sonar bathymetry and acoustic backscatter; sub-bottom acoustic profiles; physical samples of seabed sediments, infauna and epibenthic biota; towed underwater video and still camera observations of seabed habitats; baited video observations of demersal and pelagic fish, and; oceanographic measurements of the water column from CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) casts and from deployment of sea surface drifters.

Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon with increasing depth in core GC12, located in the Capricorn Channel

A gravity core (GC12) was collected from a depth of 990.5 mbsl within the Capricorn Channel, southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The data from stable isotopes of Globigerinoides ruber were analysed to allow a preliminary understanding of the hemipelagic sedimentary environment over the last glacial / interglacial cycle. The results suggest that the core reaches the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at ~170cm depth and MIS 4 at ~450cm corresponding to heavier 18-O values and other measured parameters.
