Macrolichens of Mount Wellington, Tasmania

The Cryoplanation of Mount Wellington

Present morphology of the Mt. Wellington summit area can be interpreted in terms of a system of cryoplanation, which operated during the Pleistocene, but bas now ceased. This involved the rapid frost shattering of exposed dolerite and the removal of this and previously weathered material by mass movement over slopes as low as 30 • Periglacial processes of land reduction were probably widespread...

On a Remnant of a Stripped Peneplain of Palaeozoic Age at Mount Sedgwick in VVestern Tasmania

It is well e~tablished (Nye and Blake, 1938, pp. 22, 42) that a peneplain existed over much of Tasmania at the beginning of the Permo-Carboniferous sedimentation. Beds of Permo-Carboniferous and Trias-Jura sediments were laid down on this surface, and, apart from tilting, retain their original horizontal relation8. At, or near, the close of the Trias--.Jura sedimentation, the intrusion of a dol...

Between 1986/87 and 1998/99, Tasmania’s share of national output declined from approximately 2.3 per cent to 1.9 per cent. At least two forecasters have projected that Tasmania’s share of national activity will continue to decline over the period 1999/00 to 2003/04, falling to 1.7 per cent of national activity by the end of this period. This paper investigates whether it is within the power of ...
