This project asses the utility and performance of the National Carbon Accounting Toolbox (NCAT), particulary its Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM), for estimating carbon stocks and fluxes throughout the Northern Territory. The NCAT has been developed by the Australian Greenhouse Office as an integral component of the National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS). The report is presaged by caveats because the NCAT has not been fully parameterised for troical savannas in Australia.

Tidal estuary width convergence: Theory and form in North Australian estuaries

Gareth Davies, Colin D. Woodroffe, 2010.
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms v.35

In order to better understand the relations between tidal estuary shape and geomorphic processes, the width profiles of 79 tidal channels from within 30 estuaries in northern Australia have been extracted from LANDSAT 5 imagery using GIS. Statistics describing the shape and width convergence of individual channels and entire estuaries (which can contain several channels) are analysed along with proxies for the tidal range and fluvial inputs of the estuaries in question. ...
