Abstract:

Palaeobotany illuminates past environments by relating the fossilised species to the existing geological conditions. This has previously been done with fossilised leaves and spores but not with fossilised wood. The recovery of a significant quantity of wood from an area of Tertiary sediments in New South Wales, enabled the used of fossilised wood as a palaeoenvironmental tool. Tertiary sedimentary deposits of south eastern Australia are diverse lithologically, occupy distinct areas and are limited in vertical and horizontal extent. However, samples in museum collections together with samples from field work and descriptions of fossil wood from previous researchers enabled an analysis of the fossil wood. The geological and palaeontological aspects of the fossil wood were considered for each specimen. Only specimens with precise information concerning location and description of the sedimentary deposits in which the specimens were found were investigated. Lithology, sedimentary structures and the relationship with surrounding geological units were also considered. The samples were then classified and identified. It was possible to identify fossil wood to Family level by comparison with existing taxa. In the majority of cases, identification to species level was not possible due to the lack of detail in the specimen and because features such as colour cannot be used with fossilised specimens. With Australian fossilised wood, a systematic nomenclature based on structure observed within the palaeotaxa, would be more relevant. Comparisons of cell structures with previous work on palaeoenvironmental indicators was found to be possible. Fossil wood has two uses. Firstly, as a local environmental indicator, usually in conjunction with sedimentological data, assessing the rate and direction of water flow, types of depositional environments and localised floral assemblages. Secondly, as an indicator of regional climate. Within any one particular time period, comparisons between the cellular structures of wood found in different parts of south eastern Australia show gross changes in cell size, mean growth ring size and vessel size, which enabled generalisations about climate for each epoch in the Tertiary. Palaeoclimatic indicators from the wood concurred with previous climatic interpretations based on palynology and sedimentology. Cool conditions during the Palaeocene were clearly indicated by small cells and small growth rings which gradually increased throughout the remainder of the Tertiary. Several areas e.g., Dargo High Plains, where cold conditions existed in isolation could be clearly distinguished. This corresponds with the gradual northward movement of the Australian plate with consequent increasing temperatures on the mainland.

Abstract:

South-western Australia is a globally significant hotspot of plant species diversity, with high endemism and many rare plant species. Proteaceae is a major component of the south-western flora, though little is known about how its diversity developed. This prompted the present study to investigate changes in the abundance and diversity of Proteaceae, in south-western Australia, by concurrently studying three sediment sequences of different ages over the Cainozoic and a modern pollen rain study. Modern pollen-vegetation relationships in the two Proteaceae species rich nodes of the northern and southern sandplains were quantified. It was found that Proteaceous genera can contribute up to 50% of the total pollen rain. Banksia/Dryandra pollen was the most abundant with Isopogon, Petrophile and Lambertia also commonly noted. The vegetation and environmental setting during three pivotal periods of the Cainozoic: Holocene, Pliocene and Eocene, were investigated. Eocene sediment from Lake Lefroy confirmed the presence of a Nothofagus dominated rainforest in the Middle to Late Eocene. At this time Proteaceae species were at least as diverse as today, if not more so, contributing up to a maximum of 42% of the total pollen rain. Taxa recorded included: Banksieaeidites arcuatus, Propylipollis biporus, Proteacidites confragosus, Proteacidites crassus, Proteacidites nasus and Proteacidites pachypolus. Several taxa remain undescribed and unnamed. This study also identified that Proteaceae pollen representation varies across small lateral distances. Thus as samples varied spatially and temporally, single core samples are not sufficient to identify spatial patterns in Proteaceae or other low pollen producing taxa. Some 7.91 cm of laminated Pliocene sediment from Yallalie, south-western Australia, was also examined. It covers 84 years of record and confirmed other regional reports that south-western Australia was covered by a rich vegetation mosaic consisting of heathy and wet rainforest elements. Although Proteaceae species were a consistent component of the pollen counts, diversity and abundance (maximum of 5%) was low throughout the studied section. Banksia/Dryandra types were most commonly noted. A 2 m core was retrieved from Two Mile Lake, near the Stirling Ranges and provided an early Holocene vegetation history. Geochemical and palynological evidence recorded little change, suggesting the environment of deposition was relatively uniform. Proteaceae species were noted throughout the core, though in low numbers, at a maximum of 3.5 % of the total pollen rain. Banksia/Dryandra was the most abundant while Isopogon, Lambertia, Petrophile and Franklandia were also noted. A regression model was developed through the modern pollen rain study to predict the number of Proteaceae in the vegetation. This was also applied to the fossil pollen records. The estimated number of Proteaceae species in the Eocene suggests a maximum of 20 and a minimum of 10 taxa. For the Pliocene record, an estimated 7 - 9 species was found and for the Holocene pollen, between 7 - 8 were present. Thus the Eocene was similar in Proteaceae diversity to today. The results from the Pliocene and Holocene suggest that Proteaceae diversity was lower than today. Findings of this research indicate that Proteaceae species are an important and consistent component of vegetation in south-western Australia over the Cainozoic. It is likely that both changing pollination mechanisms and changes in associated vegetation are important in the determining the dispersal of Proteaceaous pollen. By understanding how the vegetation has changed and developed in south-western Australia, present vegetation can be managed to include intra-specific variation and ensure the majority of species are conserved for present and future generations to enjoy.

Abstract:

The hydrodynamics of Gulf St. Vincent (GSV) are investigated through the use of several numerical models based on the Regional Ocean Modeling Suite (ROMS). Idealised models which investigate tides, wind forcing and thermohaline forcing are undertaken, as well as a fully forced qausi-realistic hindcast model. The model domain encompasses Investigator Strait, GSV and Backstairs Passage, as well as some of the shelf to the south-east. The tidal model incorporates a new method for estimating the quadratic coefficient of drag which accounts for depth and benthic type. Results of the tidal model indicate that the presence of seagrass meadows are significant for bottom friction and the estimation of tidal elevations and currents. This is a particularly important result for GSV, as the health and distribution of seagrass meadows is a key environmental factor. The idealised wind-forced and geostrophically adjusted models indicate that the wind-stress direction and magnitude is critical in determining the connectivity of the gulf with the shelf, where thermohaline circulation is less important. Results of the idealised models indicate that during summer, when winds are dominated by south-easterlies, gulf waters are largely recirculated and salinity increases as a result. During winter the winds become dominated by south-westerlies, which induce a gulf wide clockwise circulation which draws in fresher shelf waters via Investigator Strait and expels salty gulf water via Backstairs Passage. A volume averaged salt balance for the quasi-realistic model supports this finding, indicating that salinity increases whilst under summer wind conditions and decreases for winter wind patterns. This is due to the excess of evaporation over precipitation year round. Flushing time scales for summer and winter conditions are also explored based on the results of the quasi-realistic model, and indicate that the interior of the gulf is flushed more slowly during summer than winter. Investigator Strait and Backstairs Passage exhibit little seasonal variability. Passive Lagrangian float tracer studies are also conducted, and further support the finding that summer conditions show reduced connectivity between the shelf and gulf when compared to winter. In the weather band, periods of enhanced exchange between the shelf and gulf are shown to coincide with wind-stresses from the west, while periods of reduced exchange coincide with wind-stresses from the east.

Title page, table of contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University of Adelaide Library.
The middle eocene to early oligocene Bowmans and Lochiel coal deposits of the northern St. Vincent Basin, South Australia have been studied to elucidate their depositional environments. These coals occur within predominantly fluvio-lacustrine transgressive system tract sequences that formed during the initial phase of basin infill. The aforementioned facies are unevenly distributed and their stratigraphic succession highlights evolutionary changes in local palaeoenvironments. Within individual seams the transition from subaquatic to topogenous forest swamps and ultimately ombrogenous conditions is most common. However, over the coal sequence as a whole, conditions evolved from exclusively terrestrial through mixed terrestrial and subaquatic to open water. Also detected were multiple rapid reversals of the water table, especially higher in the sequence, and cyclic patterns reflecting a brief basal subaquatic phase prior to the onset of sustained terrestrial conditions. These patterns suggest a fluctuating, although progressively rising, water table and a balance between accommodation and accumulation.

Abstract:

In this thesis, there is an investigation into the factors that contributed to the ascendancy of printmaking in South Australia in the 1960s and the development of political printmaking in the 1970s. An analysis of key individuals is contextualised within the institutional and political frameworks operating in Adelaide at this time. An important aspect of this thesis is the examination of the transition from teaching craft and trade-based print subjects to fine art printmaking courses at the South Australian School of Art (SASA), one of the oldest art schools in Australia. Some of the research was based on the SASA archival material at the University of South Australia, which included the prospectus booklets, presentation of diplomas and prizes leaflets, SASA principal’s reports, and The Advertiser newspaper listings of students’ results. Paul Beadle and Charles Bannon were responsible for key developments in printmaking in South Australia. Beadle was a dynamic and far-sighted principal of the SASA from 1958-60. Bannon taught at St Peter’s College, where he instituted a ‘Bauhaus-style’ education methodology in the preparatory school. When Bannon was placed in charge of high school classes, he chose German printmaker Udo Sellbach to carry on his educational methods in the preparatory school. Beadle invited Sellbach to set up a graphics studio at the SASA and Sellbach and his then wife, Karin Schepers, became leading figures in the revitalisation of fine art printmaking in South Australia. Case studies of Charles Bannon, Barbara Hanrahan, Ann Newmarch and Olga Sankey are employed to extend the thesis narrative of printmaking education and professionalism in South Australia. In each case study, the formative years, studies, overseas travel and printmaking careers are considered in relation to their contribution to printmaking in South Australia. Despite the outstanding achievements of printmaking in Adelaide in the 1960s and 1970s, this has been a neglected area of research. In this thesis, important new research is presented and a number of reasons are canvassed as to why there was a subsequent contraction in printmaking in South Australia, especially in relation to the national context.

Abstract:

Australia’s education system is undergoing major reform with the staged introduction of the Australian Curriculum starting in 2010. One of the learning areas designated for development in the Australian Curriculum is Health and Physical Education (HPE). The aim of this study is to examine the understandings, attitudes and intentions of regional HPE teachers in relation to the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education (AC:HPE). A qualitative research method based on narrative inquiry has been used to gather data to provide a depiction of regional secondary school HPE teachers during the initial implementation phase of the AC:HPE. This study is significant in that it occurs at a unique time in Australia’s education system with the realisation of the nation’s first national curriculum. Furthermore, this study will contribute knowledge to an area of HPE research that has received little scholarly attention in the past, using a research methodology that is not usually associated with the discipline.
