Symposium report: Aeolian dust--implications for Australian mineral exploration and environmental management.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
There is an increasing awareness that fine-grained aeolian sediments are important in many issues related to mineral exploration and environmental management and that a more detailed understanding of aeolian dust and its...
Fingerprinting windblown dust in south-eastern Australian soils by uranium-lead dating of detrital zircon.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
Windblown dust contributes significantly to soil formation in many regions worldwide (Simonson 1995). In south-eastern Australia, dust is carried from the arid and semi-arid interior and deposited in the more humid eastern...
An aeolian component in Pleistocene and Holocene valley aggradation: evidence from Dicks Creek catchment, Yass, New South Wales.(Statistical Data Included)
January 1, 2001... Introduction
The study of Quaternary processes within the Southern Highlands of New South Wales has evoked considerable interest during the past 40 years. More recently, the occurrence of extensive dryland salinity in the area has led to...
Salt source for dryland salinity--evidence from an upland catchment on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
A conceptual model for the occurrence of dryland salinity that has received widespread support (PMSEIC 1999; Salama et al. 1999) is that European farming practices have caused a hydrological imbalance in catchments. Increased...
The red clay mantle in the Wagga Wagga region, New South Wales: evaluation of an aeolian dust deposit (Yarabee Parna) using methods of soil landscape mapping.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
Aeolian dust deposits are widely distributed in south-eastern Australia. Butler (1956) first used the word parna (Aboriginal word for dust) to refer to the aeolian clay deposits in the Riverine Plain. Since Butler (1956), and...
The influence of aeolian dust deposits on alpine soils in south-eastern Australia.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
The presence of aeolian dust in alpine soils has been debated for several years around the world (Dahms 1993). Studies looking at aeolian fallout rates and their influence on soil development in alpine areas in mountain...
Mid Pleistocene arid shift in southern Australia, dated by magnetostratigraphy.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
The chronology of climatic changes across the Australian continent during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene is reasonably well established by radiocarbon dating back to about 40 ka. Beyond that, recent advances in luminescence...
Pedogenic destruction of ferrimagnetics in Alaskan loess deposits.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
In the last 2 decades the magnetic susceptibility (X) record from the Chinese loess and palaeosol sequence has been recognised and widely used as a proxy palaeoclimatic indicator (Heller and Liu 1982, 1984; Liu et al. 1987,...
Rapid assessment of soil compaction damage I. The SOILpak score, a semi-quantitative measure of soil structural form.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
Soil structure examination is an integral part of land evaluation in rural areas. Soil surveyors in Australia are guided by recommendations in the series of `Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbooks' (Gunn et al. 1988;...
Rapid assessment of soil compaction damage II. Relationships between the SOILpak score, strength and aeration measurements, clod shrinkage parameters, and image analysis data on a Vertisol.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
The SOILpak score (Daniells and Larsen 1991; McKenzie 2001) is a widely used, semiquantitative measure of compaction damage in Vertisols used to grow cotton. There is a need to compare this morphological approach with other...
Field shrinkage curves of a swelling clay soil: analysis of multiple structural swelling and shrinkage phases in the prisms of a Vertisol.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
The understanding and prediction of water flow in swelling clay soils requires the assessment of the relation between volume and water content variations. Since Tempany (1917) and Haines (1923), the volume variation of...
Pig effluent-P application can increase the risk of P transport: two case studies.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
Agricultural industries are being closely scrutinised worldwide as sources of water and soil resource contamination (Sharpley 1995; Abbozzo et al. 1996; Burkholder et al. 1997). Researchers have focussed considerable attention...
The effect of mineralisation rates of atrazine in surface and subsurface soils on its groundwater contamination potential.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
Pesticide leaching and groundwater contamination is a major concern in many countries around the globe (Cohen et al. 1986; Beitz et al. 1994; Close 1996; Kookana et al. 1998). Health or environmental regulatory authorities...
A response-surface calibration model for rapid and versatile site-specific lime-requirement predictions in south-eastern Australia.
January 1, 2001... Introduction
Increasing rates of soil acidification and the threat of extensive soil acidity is a significant problem curtailing agricultural production, and may :intensify if effective management strategies for amelioration are not...
