Does anyone know of any sediment data (grain size, carbonate content, composition etc) that exists for the Fraser Island Shelf (southeast) ?
I am aware of the papers by Harris et al. 1996 and Marshall et al. 1998 but was wondering if other data exists? I am particularly interested in the shelf from Moreton to Fraser Islands.
Yes thanks Peter - have contacted GA about the Marshall et al data and also contacted Peter Harris. If you can think of any other sample data sets from the region let me know. i hope all is good with you. jody
see Boyd et al. 2004 PESA Spec Pub pp 511-521
it's all there
also Boyd et al 2008 Geology 36, pp 15=18
I suppose the sands of the turtle rookeries near Bundaberg are too far north, right??
For our Great Sandy - Wide Bay Burnett benthic habitat map, we asked Chris Jenkins (dbSEABED) to model sediment texture from his database. Chris sent us a list of 30 different datasets. We sent him back 5-6 local ones to fill in the gaps.
Contact Chris Jenkins for the entire series of data.
Happy to talk outside of this conversation, regards Maria Z
