Abstract:
AbstractSamples of Lutjanus carponotatus(Lutjanidae) from reef flat (shallow) and reef slope (deep) sites around Heron and Wistari reefs on the southern Great Barrier Reef were examined for Pomphorhynchus heronensis(Acanthocephala). Individual fish from the reef slope had 0–9 (2.6) worms as compared with 1–122 (39.6) worms for individuals from the reef flat (P < 0.0001). Other variables (year, season, size of fish) made little contribution to the variation. Reef flat and reef slope sites were separated by as little as 300 m. These results imply both that the fish have very limited local movement and that transmission of the parasite is concentrated locally.

Abstract:
Settlement and recruitment of the apogonids Apogon doederleini (Jordan & Snyder) and Cheilodipterus quinquelineatus (Cuvier) to continuous reef were examined at One Tree Island, southern Great Barrier Reef. Many settled to patch reefs in sand habitat. Moreover, peaks in settlement (over five to six days) corresponded to peak catches of potential settlers in ichthyoplankton nets at the reef crest. Few newly settled (<20 mm standard length) apogonids were found on continuous reef where juveniles and adults were abundant. A similar pattern was found on the reef slope outside the lagoon, but total abundance of both species was low in this environment. Results of tagging with tetracycline, diel censuses of patch reefs, and examination of gut contents indicated that fish of all size classes moved from daytime sites and foraged at night. Recruitment to continuous reef appears, particularly in A. doederleini, to take place in two phases: potential settlers enter the lagoon at night and settle into sand rubble habitats; fish feed at night and their night-time excursions increase with the size of the fish until they move to continuous reef as Phase 2. The monitoring of continuous reef would not have detected patterns of settlement to One Tree Island.

Abstract:
Abstract. Atmospheric dimethylsulfide (DMSa), continually derived from the world's oceans, is a feed gas for the tropospheric production of new sulfate particles, leading to cloud condensation nuclei that influence the formation and properties of marine clouds and ultimately the Earth's radiation budget. Previous studies on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia, have indicated coral reefs are significant sessile sources of DMSa capable of enhancing the tropospheric DMSa burden mainly derived from phytoplankton in the surface ocean; however, specific environmental evidence of coral reef DMS emissions and their characteristics is lacking. By using on-site automated continuous analysis of DMSa and meteorological parameters at Heron Island in the southern GBR, we show that the coral reef was the source of occasional spikes of DMSa identified above the oceanic DMSa background signal. In most instances, these DMSa spikes were detected at low tide under low wind speeds, indicating they originated from the lagoonal platform reef surrounding the island, although evidence of longer-range transport of DMSa from a 70 km stretch of coral reefs in the southern GBR was also observed. The most intense DMSa spike occurred in the winter dry season at low tide when convective precipitation fell onto the aerially exposed platform reef. This co-occurrence of events appeared to biologically shock the coral resulting in a seasonally aberrant extreme DMSa spike concentration of 45.9 nmol m−3 (1122 ppt). Seasonal DMS emission fluxes for the 2012 wet season and 2013 dry season campaigns at Heron Island were 5.0 and 1.4 µmol m−2 day−1, respectively, of which the coral reef was estimated to contribute 4 % during the wet season and 14 % during the dry season to the dominant oceanic flux.

Abstract:
Understanding the dynamics of habitat-forming organisms is fundamental to managing natural ecosystems. Most studies of coral reef dynamics have focused on clear-water systems though corals inhabit many turbid regions. Here, we illustrate the key drivers of an inshore coral reef ecosystem using 10 years of biological, environmental, and disturbance data. Tropical cyclones, crown-of-thorns starfish, and coral bleaching are recognized as the major drivers of coral loss at mid- and offshore reefs along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). In comparison, little is known about what drives temporal trends at inshore reefs closer to major anthropogenic stress. We assessed coral cover dynamics using state-space models within six major inshore GBR catchments. An overall decline was detected in nearly half (46%) of the 15 reefs at two depths (30 sites), while the rest exhibited fluctuating (23%), static (17%), or positive (13%) trends. Inshore reefs responded similarly to their offshore counterparts, where contemporary trends were predominantly influenced by acute disturbance events. Storms emerged as the major driver affecting the inshore GBR, with the effects of other drivers such as disease, juvenile coral density, and macroalgal and turf per cent cover varying from one catchment to another. Flooding was also associated with negative trends in live coral cover in two southern catchments, but the mechanism remains unclear as it is not reflected in available metrics of water quality and may act through indirect pathways.

Abstract:
Effective reef management and monitoring has become increasingly important as anthropogenic processes impact upon natural ecosystems. One locality that is under direct threat due to human activities is the Australian Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Marine foraminifera represent an abundant and readily applicable tool that can be used in reef studies to investigate a variety of ecological parameters and assist in understanding reef dynamics and influence management protocols. The first step is to establish a baseline knowledge of taxonomic composition within the region to facilitate comparative studies and monitor how assemblages change in order to maximise effective management. A detailed taxonomic assessment is provided of 133 species of benthic foraminifera in 76 genera from Heron Island, One Tree Island, Wistari and Sykes Reefs, which form the core of the Capricorn Group (CG) at the southern end of the GBR. Of these 133 species, 46% belong to the order Miliolida, 34% to Rotaliida, 7% to Textulariida, 5% to Lagenida, 3% to Lituolida, 3% to Spirillinida, 1% to Loftusiida and 1% to Robertinida. Samples were collected from a variety of shallow shelf reef environments including reef flat, lagoonal and channel environments. Seventy species, representing the most abundant forms, are formally described with detailed distribution data for the remaining 63 species supplied.

Abstract:
Environmental Context. Coral reefs have now been highlighted as significant sources of dimethylsulfide and other organic sulfur compounds, which may be important for the formation of clouds over the ocean and climate regulation. However, no studies have reported the seasonal and diurnal cycles of these organic sulfur substances in reef waters. This study describes the cycling of dimethylsulfide and related organic substances at One Tree Reef, in the southern part of the Great Barrier Reef, as well as their production from staghorn coral in chamber experiments. The results suggest that coral reefs are significant sources of dimethylsulfide to reef waters and possibly the reef atmosphere, but the effect of this substance on the radiative climate over the Great Barrier Reef is unknown. Abstract. Seasonal and diurnal studies conducted at One Tree Reef lagoon in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) highlight increased production of dissolved dimethylsulfide, atmospheric dimethylsulfide, dissolved and particulate dimethylsulfoniopropionate, and dimethylsulfoxide during the summer months, and when the lagoon is moated with inter-reefal water. This production is due to both the growth of phytoplankton populations within the lagoon, and benthic corals and algae in or on sediments and attached to solid substrates. The relative importance of these two processes was not determined in this study, although benthic production from corals was shown to be significant in chamber experiments. The diurnal cycles of the organic sulfur substances measured at One Tree Reef provide unequivocal evidence that coral reefs produce significant quantities of these organic sulfur substances during the day and suggest that coral reefs could be significant sources of atmospheric dimethylsulfide.

Abstract:
The relatively understudied intermediate waters of the world have been implicated as an important part of the global ocean circulation. This thesis discusses the intermediate waters of the Pacific over space and time. Initially, by using geochemical tracers to look at the present distribution, sources and mixing of the water masses. Secondly, by using oxygen and carbon isotopes from sediment cores to study changes in Antarctic Intermediate Waters (AAIW) over the late Quaternary in the north Tasman Sea. The sediment cores also provide sedimentological data on the hemipelagic sedimentation in the Capricorn Channel in the southern Great Barrier Reef as well information on changes in the East Australian surface current (EAC) over the last glacial-interglacial transition.

Full text
Abstract:
Scleractinian corals increasingly are studied as geochemical archives of modern- and palaeoclimate, but microsampling for geochemical data is complicated by: 1) the microstructural complexity and spatial variability in skeletal growth in different coral genera; and 2) the rapidity and scale of diagenetic alteration that occurs in living coralla. Geochemical sampling techniques now have spatial resolution into the sub-micrometer to tens of micrometers range, and it is hoped that the spatial resolution can be translated to temporal resolution. This study investigated the effects on geochemical analyses imposed by microstructure and diagenesis in different live-collected coral genera representing somewhat different depositional environments. Suites of samples of four reef-building genera (Acropora, Pocillopora, Goniastrea and Porites) were collected from three adjacent environments in intertidal and subtidal positions near the reef edge at Heron Reef, Great Barrier Reef and studied by means of optical and scanning electron microscopy, combined with vibrational and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The first section of this study compares and documents the microstructure of the four coral genera. Each genus was found to have very different three-dimensional arrangements of microstructural elements, and a new general growth model was proposed for Acropora, to take into account differences in the timing of precipitation of trabeculae and thickening deposits. The results highlight the complexity and spatial variability of skeletal growth in different coral genera. Because microstructural patterns vary in different genera, direct observation of microstructural elements and growth lines are necessary to allow geochemical microsamples to be placed into series that represent temporal sequences with known degrees of time averaging. Coral growth rates (i.e., rates of extension) are discussed to determine the range of temporal relationships that exist between closely spaced skeletal microstructural elements. Such data are necessary in order for coral skeletogenesis to be understood and are critical for constraining microsampling strategies aimed at developing true time series geochemical data at very fine spatial and temporal scales. The second part of the study focused on early diagenetic alteration of the corals, which is an equally important concern for geochemical analysis. Early marine diagenesis was documented in the same live-collected samples of the four common reef-building coral genera. Samples show extensive early marine diagenesis where parts of the coralla less than three years old contain abundant macro- and microborings (sponges, algae, cyanobacteria and fungi) and significant amounts of aragonite, high-Mg calcite, low-Mg calcite and brucite [Mg(OH)2] cements. Many of the cements are associated with microendoliths and endobionts that inhabit recently abandoned parts of the skeleton. The cements are problematic for palaeoclimate reconstruction because geochemical proxies used for paleoclimate studies are meant to reflect ambient seawater chemistry and conditions, but the occurrence of brucite and low-Mg calcite demonstrates how far fluid chemistry in microenvironments within the corals has evolved from ambient seawater. Some Porites lobata specimens have had as much as 60% of the most recently deposited skeletal aragonite (i.e., the part of the skeleton that projects into the layer of living polyps) bored and replaced by low-Mg calcite cement. The low-Mg calcite cement has significantly different trace element ratios (Sr/Ca(mmol/mol) = 6.3 ± 1.4; Mg/Ca(mmol/mol) = 12.0 ± 5.1) than the host coral skeletal aragonite (Sr/Ca(mmol/mol) = 9.9 ± 1.3; Mg/Ca(mmol/mol) = 4.5 ± 2.3), thus providing a serious challenge for Sr/Ca or Mg/Ca based sea surface temperature calculations. This study illustrates that many diagenetic changes that can radically alter important geochemical characteristics of coral skeleton occur very early on the sea floor (i.e., while corals are still alive). Documented cements altered trace element inventories (e.g., Sr and Mg), thus, interfering with the use of those elements in palaeotemperature calculations. Hence, significant diagenetic changes that jeopardise palaeoclimate data do not require long-term diagenesis or meteoric exposure. Some of the diagenetic changes (e.g., calcite filled borings) occur at scales that are very difficult to detect short of visual inspection using SEM. Hence, vetting of coral samples with SEM is required before any sample is subjected to geochemical analysis.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the chemical investigations of several ascidian species collected from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. The thesis is divided into two separate components, Part A focuses on the isolation and structure elucidation of 11 previously undescribed ascidian metabolites. All structures were assigned using a combination of spectroscopic and/or chemical methods. Part B relates to the isolation and chemical conversion of a natural product to a combinatorial template. The natural product template was subsequently used in the generation of a solution-phase combinatorial chemistry library. A further two combinatorial libraries were generated from a synthesised model compound that was related to the natural product template. Part A. Investigation of Aplidium longithorax collected from the Swains Reefs resulted in the isolation of two new para-substituted cyclofarnesylated quinone derived compounds, longithorones J (30) and K (31). The former compound had its absolute stereochemistry determined by the advanced Mosher method. From an Aplidium longithorax collected from Heron Island, two new cyclofarnesylated hydroquinone compounds, longithorols C (46) and D (47) and a novel macrocyclic chromenol, longithorol E (48) were isolated. Longithorol C (46) had its absolute stereochemistry determined by the advanced Mosher method. Chemical investigation of the deep-purple colonial ascidian, Didemnum chartaceum collected from Swains Reefs led to the isolation of five new lamellarin alkaloids, which included the 20-sulfated derivatives of lamellarins B (94), C (95) and L (96), the 8-sulfated derivative of lamellarin G (97) and the non-sulfated compound, lamellarin Z (98). The known lamellarins A (63), B (80), C (64), E (65), G (67), and L (71) plus the triacetate derivatives of lamellarin D (82) and N (83) were also isolated. An aberration in the integration of signals in the 1H NMR spectra of the 20-sulfated derivatives (94-96) led to NMR relaxation studies. T1 values were calculated for all protons in the sulfated lamellarins (94-97) and their corresponding non-sulfated derivatives (80, 64, 71, 67). The protons ortho to the sulfate group in compounds (94-97) had T1 values up to five times larger than the corresponding protons in their non-sulfated derivatives (80, 64, 71, 67). A specimen of Eudistoma anaematum collected from Heron Island was shown to contain a new b-carboline alkaloid, eudistomin V (130), in addition to the two known metabolites, eudistomin H (105) and I (106). Part B. The known natural products, 1,3-diphenethylurea (29), 1,3-dimethylxanthine (30), 1,3-dimethylisoguanine (31) and the salts of tambjamine C (16), E (18) and F (19) were isolated from the ascidian, Sigillina signifera collected in Blue Lagoon, Lizard Island. Base hydrolysis on mixtures of the salts of tambjamine C (16), E (18) and F (19) resulted in the production of 4-methoxy-2,2-bipyrrole-5-carbaldehyde (26). This natural product template (26) was used in the generation of an enamine combinatorial chemistry library (98, 103-111) using solution-phase parallel synthesis. The biaryl compound, 4-(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (59) was successfully synthesised using Suzuki-Miyaura coupling conditions and subsequently used as a template in the generation of an amine (67, 77, 80-87) and imine (78, 92-95) combinatorial library using solution-phase parallel synthesis.

Abstract:
The objective of the research reported in this thesis was to develop a technique to monitor the dynamics of sediments and nutrients entering the coastal ocean with river plumes associated with high intensity low frequency events (e.g. floods), using ocean colour remote sensing. To achieve this objective, an inverse bio-optical model was developed, based on analytical and empirical relationships between concentrations of optically significant substances and remote sensing of water-leaving radiance. The model determines concentrations of water-colouring substances such as chlorophyll, suspended sediments, and coloured dissolved organic matter, as well as the values of optical parameters using water-leaving radiances derived from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). To solve atmospheric correction in coastal waters, the aerosol type over clear waters is transferred to adjacent turbid water pixels. The vicinity of the Herbert River, central Great Barrier Reef zone, Australia, was used as a case study for the application of the algorithm developed. The satellite ocean colour technique was successfully validated using sea-truth measurements of water-colouring constituents acquired in the area during various seasons throughout 2002-2004. A high correlation between chlorophyll and dissolved organic matter was found in the coastal waters of the region, and when the bio-optical model was constrained to make chlorophyll a function of dissolved organic matter, the relationship between in situ and satellite-derived data was substantially improved. With reliable retrieval of the major water-colouring constituents, the technique was subsequently applied to study fluxes of particulate and dissolved organic and inorganic matter following a flood event in the Herbert River during the austral summer of 1999. Extensive field observations covering a seasonal flood in the Herbert River in February 2004 revealed high sediment and nutrient exports from the river to the adjacent coastal waters during the flood event. Due to rapid settling, the bulk of the sediment-rich influx was deposited close inshore, while the majority of nutrients exported from the river were consumed by phytoplankton in a relatively small area of the coastal ocean. With the help of ocean colour remote sensing, it was demonstrated that river-borne sediments and nutrients discharged by a typical flood in the Herbert River are mostly precipitated or consumed within the first 20 km from the coast and therefore are unlikely to reach and possibly affect the midshelf coral reefs of this section of the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.
