  • Functioning and Changes in the Streamflow Generation of Catchments
    Ecohydrology in space and time: functioning and changes in the streamflow generation of catchments Ralph Trancoso Bachelor Forest Engineering Masters Tropical Forests Sciences Masters Applied Geosciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Trancoso, R. (2016) PhD Thesis, The University of Queensland Abstract Surface freshwater yield is a service provided by catchments, which cycle water intake by partitioning precipitation into evapotranspiration and streamflow. Streamflow generation is experiencing changes globally due to climate- and human-induced changes currently taking place in catchments. However, the direct attribution of streamflow changes to specific catchment modification processes is challenging because catchment functioning results from multiple interactions among distinct drivers (i.e., climate, soils, topography and vegetation). These drivers have coevolved until ecohydrological equilibrium is achieved between the water and energy fluxes. Therefore, the coevolution of catchment drivers and their spatial heterogeneity makes their functioning and response to changes unique and poses a challenge to expanding our ecohydrological knowledge. Addressing these problems is crucial to enabling sustainable water resource management and water supply for society and ecosystems. This thesis explores an extensive dataset of catchments situated along a climatic gradient in eastern Australia to understand the spatial and temporal variation

  • 313 Brief History of the Coal Mining Industry
    313 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COAL MINING INDUSTRY IN QUEENSLAND [By E. F. DUNNE, Chairman, the Queensland Coal Board] (Read at a meeting of The Historical Society of Queensland, Inc., on 23rd November 1950). Ladies and Gentlemen— When I undertook to prepare a paper on the his­ tory of the Coal Mining Industry in Queensland I did so hoping that I would be able to find many accessible early records that would afford me an opportunity of presenting to you a co-ordinated chronological history of the discovery and development of the various fields throughout the State that have been responsible for the production of the main tonnages which appear in the records. I regret to say, however, that my re­ searches which have been mainly confined to the records of the Mines Department and the Public Lib­ rary have not yielded very much detailed information regarding the interesting factors which might form an historical narrative for such a paper. Geology and Geography Before presenting the story of the development of the coal resources of the various districts in the State it is, I think, essential to refer to the coal deposits in relation to the geology governing them, their location and their extent. Coal-bearing formations occur in Queensland, belonging to the Tertiary, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Trias- sic and Permian ages. Of these, the Mesozoic measures of the Southern and Central districts have, because of their geographical advantage, supplied the bulk of the output in the past, but it is in the Permian formations of the Central district that Queensland's potential wealth in coal mainly lies.
