Data Trawler - Survey Details

FR 03/2001 (alternative identifier: FR200103)    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 2001-03-21 00:00 to 2001-04-10 00:00 Local

Duration: 20.00 days

From: Hobart To: Hobart

Region: Off Eastern Tasmania, in Bass Strait and on the Otway margin.

Ship: Franklin [details]

Description: The aim of the study is to increase our knowledge of what happened to the region geologically over the last 100 million years, with special emphasis on sedimentation and oceanographic changes during 1) Cretaceous rifting, and 2) Gondwanan drifting apart in the Cretaceous and Cainozoic.
The four major activities are designed to fill important gaps in the geoscience knowledge of southeastern Australia by:
a) helping to characterise the pre-breakup Late Jurassic and Cretaceous strata (160-65 million years ago) off eastern Tasmania (Exon and Hill);
b) documenting the sedimentary history of Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary continental breakup (95-45 m.y. ago) in deep water off eastern Tasmania and in the Otway Basin (Exon and Hill);
c) elucidating the changes through time in carbonate deposition in the eastern Otway Basin from Oligocene times to the present day (Gallagher); and
d) studying Late Quaternary palaeo-environments off eastern Tasmania and in the Bass Basin (last 500,000 years) (Keene, Howard, Harris).

Leader: N. Exon (AGSO)
