Developing a consistent sequence stratigraphy for the Wilkes Land and Great Australian Bight margins
The conjugate margins of Wilkes Land, Antarctica, and the Great Australian Bight (GAB) are amongst the least understood continental margins. Breakup along the GAB–Wilkes Land part of the Australian–Antarctic margin commenced at approximately 83 Ma. Using recent stratigraphic interpretations develope...

The conjugate margins of Wilkes Land, Antarctica, and the Great Australian Bight (GAB) are amongst the least understood continental margins.
