The latest from the Science & Monitoring team

There have been some fresh starts and windy days out at the Farm recently.

Some of the recent highlights from the team include:

  • We’re currently in the process of doing the quarterly Download and Maintenance run for the Instrument Array and conducting a site mapping exercise.

  • We’ve established the new Sandhills stream gauging station after the one that was there was washed away during a flood event on Boxing Day.

  • We were visited by a flock of Straw-necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis) in August.

  • We’ve been monitoring the structures (like the one Max is pictured checking) using our Structure Health Assessment system.
