  • Contaminant Chemistry and Toxicity of Sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia: Spatial Extent and Chemistry–Toxicity Relationships

An initial chemical investigation throughout the entire estuary (Stage 1) indicated wide ranges and different spatial patterns in sediment chemical concentrations. Sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) were used as a preliminary estimate of possible toxicity in Stage 2 of the investigation. Assessment of chemical mixtures indicated that sediments in a small part (~2%) of the harbour had the highest probability of being toxic (~75%), whereas sediment in almost 25% of the port was estimated to have an inter- mediate (~50%) probability of being toxic. The SQG assessment in Stage 2 enabled careful stratifica- tion of the harbour into areas with different toxicity risks, reducing cost and time commitments in the final tier of assessment. The spatial survey carried out in Stage 3 involved concurrent chemical and ecotoxicological analyses. In this final stage, the degree of response in tests of amphipod survival in whole sediment samples, as well as in tests of microbial metabolism (Microtox©) and sea urchin egg fertilisation and embryo development in pore waters, generally increased with increasing chemical concentrations.

However, like many large, capital ports world-wide, this environment has been exposed to relentless stress due to a rapidly increasing population density and extensive residential, commercial and industrial expansion. In this chapter, we explain why the coastal zone is such an important environment, especially for the people of Australia, and describe changes to the Sydney estuary as an example of environmental transformation due to anthropogenic pressure. The geologic development of the Sydney estuary is briefly traced, showing how the feature was eroded into the Hawkesbury Sandstone, mainly during low sea levels of the glacial periods.

  • Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3
    Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3 Summary of key outcomes: Sydney’s ports provide a vital economic gateway for the Australian and NSW economies. In 2001/02, Sydney’s ports handled approximately $42 billion worth of international trade which represents 17% of Australia’s total international trade and 56% of NSW’s international air and sea cargo trade by value. Due to its proximity to the Sydney market, Port Botany is and will remain the primary port for the import and export of containerised cargo in NSW. Currently, over 90% of container trade passing through Sydney’s ports is handled at Port Botany. Port Botany Expansion Environmental Impact Statement – Volume 1 Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3 3 Existing Port Facilities 3.1 Role and Significance of Sydney’s Ports The port facilities of Sydney are located at Port Botany and within Sydney Harbour. These ports, along with the airport, are the economic gateways to NSW. This is reflected by the fact that in 2001/02 Sydney’s ports handled approximately $42 billion worth of international trade. This represents: $10,000 for each person in the greater Sydney region, which has a population of close to 4 million; 56% of NSW’s total international air and sea cargo trade by value; and 17% of Australia’s total international trade. Cargo throughput through Sydney’s ports (Sydney Ports Corporation owned and private berths) during 2001/02 was 24.3 million mass tonnes, with containerised cargo accounting for 43.9%. This trade comprised more than 1 million TEUs, 183,000 motor vehicles and about 13.6 million mass tonnes of bulk and general cargo.

  • Msi Research Showcase 2016
    MSI RESEARCH SHOWCASE 2016 Mission In early 2016, the University of Sydney: Institute of Marine Sciences (USIMS) was renamed to Marine Studies Institute (MSI) to differentiate from the Sydney Institute of Marine Sciences (SIMS). The institute’s mission and purpose however, remains unchanged. MSI is the public face of marine science at the University of Sydney, where past and present students and community members can extend their knowledge on courses, events and scientific exploits and breakthroughs. It is envisioned that this platform will promote innovative, cross disciplinary marine research that can be applied to national and international investigations. MSI is amongst the largest marine research and education centres in Australia. The university hosts many nationally and internationally recognised research groups, currently spanning 10 disciplines, with more than 30 academic staff and over 100 postgraduate students. The marine network within the university includes: The Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) The Australian Centre for Field Robotics The Byrne Laboratory The Centre for Wind, Waves and Water The Charles Perkin Centre The Costal and Marine Ecosystems Group (CMEG) The EarthByte Group The Geocoastal Research Group (GRG) The Georeef Laboratory The Ocean Technology Group (OTG) The Sydney Law School The Sydney Centre in Geomechanics and Mining Materials (SciGEM) The Vibrational Spectroscopy Core Facility The University of Sydney Marine Studies Institute (MSI) held a showcase at the end of 2016 to provide an overview of marine research throughout the university. The MSI showcase spotlighted high-calibre research and projects that were being undertaken by marine academics and postgraduate students. Each talk was roughly 3 minutes in duration demonstrating research snapshots with a focus on current projects.

  • 2. Summary History of the Development of the University of Sydney
    2. SUMMARY HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY A fuller history of the development of the university, upon which the analysis of significance in this report was based, is located at Appendix A. This summary provides a very brief overview of the history of the place. The maps and development charts or matrixes following (at 2.2 and 2.3) show the development sequence of the university and the major development areas within the university grounds. 2.1 SUMMARY HISTORY The University grounds are on part of a broad ridge system which forms the watershed between Port Jackson and Botany Bay. An arm of the ridge system extends north from the watershed down between Blackwattle Bay and Rozelle Bay and their respective tributaries. These broad ridge tops are capped with Wianamatta shales, underlain by Hawkesbury sandstone. However, there is no outcropping sandstone within the university campus. The geology of the University grounds is important as the absence of Hawkesbury sandstone means that Aboriginal sites that are most commonly found associated with sandstone formations would not have been present. There is potential for the presence of silcrete, one of the most commonly used rock types for making small flaked implements in the Sydney region, associated with the Wianamatta shales in the grounds, but this has not been demonstrated by finds identified in the grounds to date. The upper reaches of several creeks running into Port Jackson have their headwaters within the university grounds. Blackwattle Creek, which runs into Blackwattle Bay, began in a swampy area where Darlington School now stands, and another tributary began in Victoria Park.
