part-page article on stratigraphic issues

One page article discussing aspects of Australian stratigraphy; this article discusses new unit definitions, ne regional publications and changes to the membership of the Australian Stratigraphy Commission.

Discusses requirements of a stratigraphic unit definition and why geoscientists should write more of them, where to research background information, where to get advice, and what standards apply.

Poster about the Woolshed Creek fossil site discovered by W.B. Clarke in 1844 now being rehabilitated as a geological heritage site, after Madura Parkway roadworks.

Discussion of available stratigraphic resources: the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database (ASUD); documentation of procedures for modifying existing units or establishing new ones; contact details for the Australian Stratigraphy Commission members and ASUD staff. Suggestions on ways of raising awareness through modern media such as a podcast or app, and a request for feedback on what sort of approach might appeal to a university student audience.

Palaeogrographic analysis of the Early Cretaceous South Perth Supersequence.

The Browse Basin, NW Australia, contains significant hydrocarbon reserves. It was identified as potentially suitable for offshore geological storage of CO2. A sequence stratigraphic analysis of 60 key wells was conducted to improve the understanding of sequence architecture, facies and palaeogeographic evolution of the earliest Campanian to latest Maastrichtian section for CO2 storage assessment.in the Browse Basin. This study provided new insights into sediment source and transport to the basin deep. Well log analysis and seismic interpretation identified submarine fans of the K60 interval as potential CO2 storage targets. In some areas potential lateral connection between submarine fans and the shelf via submarine canyons and channels can limit containment. More detailed investigations at a prospect scale are needed to fully assess sand-body connectivity and CO2 storage potential.
