Full description
The major accomplishments of this research are the collection and analysis of data concerning surface sediment and shelf sedimentation in South East Australia, in 1992.Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: Information collected as part of the study:
Surface sediment data (% mud, % sand, % gravel, % CaCO3, % CaCO3mud, sedimentation rate (mm/kg))
Core data (%. mud, magnetic susceptability, % CaCO3, % CACO3mud, % organic carbon).
Broken bay profile.
Sydney Heads profile.
