Science + Monitoring Update

This is an abundance of bird life and frogs around at this time of the year. Herons, rosellas and finches are just a small sample the team have seen during their field work recently, alongside the odd cheeky wombat.

The team continues the regular maintenance and download runs in which each individual instrument site is visited and regular maintenance, repair and download works completed. We have also been rolling out some replacement sensors we have recently received.  

These instruments included:  

  • Hydrological & groundwater monitoring stations  

  • Stream gauges  

  • Climate stations or Automated Weather Stations (AWS) 

The team has also been in recent discussions with Sydney University regarding a couple of honours projects where we are more closely interrogating and analysing Mulloon’s RARC (Rapid Assessment Riparian Condition) and fish data undertaking biodiversity and land function studies.
