Science & monitoring update

Research Coordinator Luke Peel has been busy with our Science Advisory Council members and HydroTerra  finalising drafts for the ‘TMI SAC Framework paper’ and the ‘Monitoring Plan and System Specifications’ document. These will form the basis of the research being undertaken and detail the monitoring design and implementation that will establish TMI’s long-term monitoring plan.

Negotiations and the procurement of hydrological and climate instrumentation has now begun with the first major purchase of climate stations completed thanks to Matt Probets at Environdata in Qld. Progress with hydrological monitoring components such as automated and manual water quantity and quality instruments, soil moisture and ground water sensors have been ordered.

TMI are proud to be supporting Australian businesses with these purchases.

The Mulloon Rehydration Initiative is jointly funded through the Mulloon Institute and the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program and is supported by various affiliates.
