TL;DR: Sediment data from shallow marine cores in the western Ross Sea are presented that exhibit well dated cyclic variations, and which link the extent of the East Antarctic ice sheet directly to orbital cycles during the Oligocene/Miocene transition, suggesting that orbital influences at the frequencies of obliquity and eccentricity controlled the oscillations of the ice margin at that time.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hydrodynamic and sedimentary setting of nearshore coral reefs, central Great Barrier Reef shelf, Australia: Paluma Shoals, a case study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the hydrodynamic and sedimentation regimes at Paluma Shoals, a shore-attached ‘turbid-zone’ coral reef, and at Phillips Reef, a fringing reef located 20 km offshore, to document the mechanisms controlling turbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is a fluvial levee
TL;DR: The authors assesses the reliability of interpretations of levee deposits in numerous examples from the rock record, and their associated inferences for river style, and suggest that geomorphologists and sedimentologists need to recognise the limitations of our present knowledge of levees, and work towards a more systematic understanding of these significant fluvial landforms in the full spectrum of modern (and ancient) river settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased sediment supply to the Great Barrier Reef will not increase sediment accumulation at most coral reefs
Piers Larcombe,Ken J. Woolfe +1 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that turbidity levels and sediment accumulation rates at most coral reefs will not be increased, because these factors are not currently limited by sediment supply, and therefore, they do not need to be increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astronomical calibration of a southern hemisphere Plio-Pleistocene reference section, Wanganui Basin, New Zealand
Tim R Naish,Steven T Abbott,V Alloway,Alan G. Beu,Robert M Carter,Anthony R. Edwards,Timothy D Journeaux,Peter J.J. Kamp,Brad Pillans,G. Saul,Ken J. Woolfe +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated chronology is presented for Wanganui Basin based on radiometric ages on interbedded rhyolitic tephra, on biostatigraphic data, on paleomagnetic polarity measurements, and on cycle correlations with the oxygen isotope timescale.
