Summary This study was part of a three-year project designed to characterize the adsorption of oxalate seed poisons (OSP) onto sodium oxalate, and the effect of such adsorption on oxalate…
Summary Because spinifex grasses were notably absent from rehabilitated areas in the Kimberley, this study of restoration ecology of endemic grasses was made. Its outcomes included confirmation that plants established…
Summary The purpose of the MERIWA M260 project was to determine the tectonic significance of the preserved Cenozoic and Mesozoic stratigraphy of the Carnarvon Basin. We used an integrated approach…
Summary In anticipation of future development of offshore facilities around Australia, this project was undertaken to meet challenges posed by deep water and the possible lack of substantial cemented near-surface…
Summary Previous studies suggested that the relationship between Mobile Metal Ions (MMI) and conventional geochemical anomalies could be explained using a simple three-stage conceptual model. This model in turn pointed…
Summary This project made accurate speed of sound measurements, both in hydrocarbon gas mixtures prepared by the Groupe Europeen de Recherches Gazieres (GERG) and in locally supplied natural gases at…
Summary The report concerns the first two phases of a project originally conceived in four phases; at the conclusion of the second phase it was decided not to pursue phases…
Summary In this study, nutrient cycling (particularly N) within young plant communities on sites previously mined for bauxite in south-west Western Australia was examined, to help mine restoration programs with…
Summary Most seismic processing techniques do not incorporate anisotropy in practise because of the difficulty in determining the degree of anisotropy of the underlying rocks and correcting for their effects.…
Summary The technology of using sandbox modelling, to imitate geological structures and thereby develop an understanding of such structures to assist exploration, was extended to link with the seismic physical…
Summary The rehabilitation of waste dumps generated by open-cut mining in Western Australia must be carried out at mine operators’ effort and expense. Their need to assess what constitutes successful…
Summary In this study, thickener technology concepts developed by CSIRO in a preceding project were evaluated at full scale, using two high rate thickeners operating in parallel at the site…
