Summary The purpose of this project was to use a West Australian case history to demonstrate the potential of the new hyperspectral mapping technology. The new generation of these remote…
Summary Synthetic seed technology has been developed for Australian native species that are recalcitrant and are required for land rehabilitation. Restoniaceae/Cuperaceae and Epacridaceae were the key study groups. The project…
Summary The project’s basic objectives were to address mine seismicity and rockburst risk issues in Western Australian mines, where high stress conditions combine with localized strong rockmass conditions and aggressive…
Summary Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) and conventional (total digestion) geochemical responses for nine different sites were compared for this study. The results followed previous trends with 60% of cases having…
Summary After construction, a long-skirted concrete gravity structure (CGS) must be towed along a shallow channel connecting the casting basin to the open sea. Air cushions if used to increase…
Summary In Western Australia high horizontal in situ stress fields occur in some mines at shallow depths, necessitating improved techniques for measuring stresses. A promising new technique was investigated in…
Summary This project and its extension documented the nature, timing and distribution of Neogene deformation along the North West Shelf and attempted to relate them to basement architecture. From its…
Summary Depth profiles in sediments of many organic compounds were evaluated to discover the reactions and conditions that determine composition. The study results show that these can be correlated with…
Summary The project was undertaken to characterize and document the diverse trace fossil assemblages within the deltaic, estuarine and shallow marine Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments in the Northern Carnarvon Lower…
Summary By undertaking field investigations at eight of the sponsors’ minesites, this project set out to determine the main corrosion mechanisms that affect rock reinforcement elements used underground. Objectives included…
Summary The annual weed Ruby Dock (Rumex vesicarius L.) which rapidly colonized numerous rehabilitated minesites in WA and the NT caused a seasonal erosion problem, where perennial native plants have…
Summary The objective of this study was to utilise seismic anisotropy for improved characterisation of the sealing shales and reservoir sands of the North West Shelf. The results underline the…
