Palaeozoic Palaeomagnetism of South-Eastern Australia
… Devonian loop in their APW path passing through southern South America (on a reconstruction of Gondwana), whereas others draw a path directly through Africa during this period. The main controversy stems essentially from whether or not palaeomagnetic data from eastern Australia are incorporated …

Country town growth in South-eastern Australia : three regional studies, 1861-1891
Australia’s galloping urbanization was the major feature of settlement in the second half of the nineteenth century, and - then as now - its outstanding characteristic was the dominant role of metropolization in this process. The fifties were a time of formative upsets to the pattern of settlement …

Natural recruitment of native forbs in the grassy ecosystems of south-eastern Australia
As for many lowland grassy ecosystem forbs in South-eastern Australia, the recruitment dynamics of the grassland forbs Podolepis sp. 1 sensu Jeanes 1999 (Basalt Podolepis) and Bulbine semibarbata perennial form (Leek Lily)are unknown. Podolepis sp. 1 and B. semibarbata were used as models of …

Quantifying stand structural complexity in woodland and dry sclerophyll forest, South-Eastern Australia
In this thesis I present and test a methodology for developing a stand scale index of structural complexity. If properly designed such an index can act as a summary variable for a larger set of stand structural attributes, providing a means of ranking stands in terms of their structural complexity, …

Intra and inter-specific variation in the reproductive strategies of two Bolboschoenus species from south-eastern Australia
This study has several objectives. Firstly, to investigate the sexual reproductive ecology and germination requirements of Bolboschoenus caldwellii and Bolboschoenus medianus. Secondly, to examine the asexual growth mechanisms and responses of Bolboschoenus caldwellii and Bolboschoenus medianus to …

Methods for assessment and techniques for management of striped legless lizard Delma impar populations in South-Eastern Australia
… the largest documented population of D. impar in Australia. Pit-fall trapping with drift-fences was found to be a useful tool for conducting habitat manipulation experiments on the species. However, the use of artificial shelters, roof tiles in this case, is cheaper, less labour intensive and less …

A combination of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He thermochronometers to constrain the escarpment evolution in south eastern Australia: a case study of high elevation passive margins
… the cooling history of rocks from the coastal (south eastern New South Wales) and the interior (Bathurst area) regions of the eastern Australia high elevation passive margin. Two traverses across the coastal lowlands, escarpment and plateau top are used to determine the tempo and styles of …

Burrowing and feeding ecology of the ghost shrimp Biffarius arenosus (Decapoda: Callianassidae)
… coastal soft sediment communities in temperate south-eastern Australia. This thesis investigated the burrowing and feeding ecology of a population of shrimps inhabiting an intertidal sandflat in Western Port, Victoria.

Managing kangaroo grazing for the conservation of grassland and grassy woodland fauna
… regimes for conservation of biodiversity are. In south-eastern Australia, high intensity grazing by the native eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) has been linked to the decline of multiple taxa. While efforts to manage the impact of kangaroo grazing on other taxa have been undertaken, the …

A transnational environmental idea: reception, interpretation and employment of US Dust Bowl imagery in World War Two and post-war Australia
… new meanings as they were woven through Australian narratives of the World War Two and early post-war period. The study recovers and analyzes the sound, textual and visual aspects of print, broadcast and film media imagery of the period to ask what cultural myths and political forces …

Reconstructing Australia’s late Quaternary climate from the geochemistry of lake sediments and snail shells
Australia’s climate is influenced by ocean-atmosphere interactions in the adjacent Indian, Pacific, and Southern oceans, as well as major atmospheric circulation patterns. Australian climates exhibit high inter-annual variability, arising in part from complex interactions between these drivers. …
