Sediments will remain at rest on the sea-floor provided forces of shear resistance exceed the
downslope shear stress imposed by gravity. The shear resistance of granular water …

We report on the existence and nature of Holocene solar and climatic variations on
centennial to millennial timescales. We introduce a new solar activity proxy, based on nitrate …

The modern Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is part of the world's largest and best known mixed
terrigenous-carbonate continental margin. The GBR shelf contains three shore-parallel …

Several studies of representative populations have reported prevalence rates of DSM‐III and
DSM‐III‐R generalized anxiety disorder (GAD); however, no community study has examined …

Using a nationally representative sample, this study examines the disease-specific
impairments of DSM-IV generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) by comparing them to the …

Precipitation in low latitudes is primarily controlled by the position of the intertropical
convergence zone, which migrates from south to north seasonally. The Little Ice Age …

We present an extensive database of 364 radiocarbon dates from coastal and marine
sediments of the central Great Barrier Reef (GBR) shelf, of which 110 are previously …

We report picosecond laser welding of similar and dissimilar materials based on plasma
formation induced by a tightly focused beam from a 1030 nm, 10 ps, 400 kHz laser system …

Sea-floor spreading data from the Southwest Pacific have recently been used to predict the
Cainozoic geological history along the Indo-Australian/Pacific plate boundary. Geologic and …

The fabrication, characterization and encapsulation of a fiber optic temperature sensor
based upon a micro Fabry–Perot (FP) cavity is presented. The FP cavity is formed between a …
