This thesis examines the application of paleolimnological techniques, pioneered and developed predominately in northern hemisphere freshwater environments, to sub-tropical east Australian estuaries. The aim of this research was to determine how successfully these techniques - in particular those related to coring, dating, diatom analysis and stable isotope analysis – can be either applied or adapted to the estuarine environment to reconstruct nutrient levels in the absence of monitoring data. This will allow pre-impact environmental conditions of estuaries to be determined, which in turn will aid future management decisions. Fifty-two estuaries from a spatially large geographic area were initially sampled, to create a dataset that consisted...
