Tidal inundation is a principal driver in intertidal wetland functioning. A combination of surface elevation and its relation to tidal range creates inundation regimes that influence a range of abiotic factors that affect wetland species distribution. Hydroperiod is a term frequently used to describe inundation regimes; however, the term has been vaguely defined in the past and typically quantified using tide gauge data rather than empirical field observations. This study explores relationships between various characteristics, such as frequency, total duration, average duration, average depth, non-tidal exposure, and mangrove/saltmarsh distribution in micro-tidal estuarine settings of southeast Australia. Inundation was measured directly …

During the Paleozoic, sedimentary basins developed within Gondwana without evolving to diverging plate boundaries. Such intracontinental basins present long subsidence histories with multiple phases of accelerated subsidence that are not always easily explained by far-field tectonic forces, and may be driven by processes other than rifting and thermal subsidence. Here we investigate the subsidence of Paleozoic Australian intracontinental basins by comparing one-dimensional backstripped tectonic subsidence histories from the western Australian Canning and Southern Carnarvon Basins and the central Australian Cooper Basin to forward subsidence models for pure shear lithospheric thinning. We make the hypothesis that differences between observed and model …

Background: The development of cultural competence is central to the therapeutic alliance with clients from diverse backgrounds. Given that the majority of Australia’s population growth is due to migration, mental health practitioner construing of non-White and White people has a significant role and impact on client engagement. Method: To examine the impact of mental health practitioner construing on their strategies for cultural competence and the therapeutic alliance, 20 White and non-White mental health practitioners and trainees providing mental health services were purposively sampled and interviewed face-to-face or via videoconferencing. Data was analysed thematically and the impact of construing on practitioner …
