16.01.2022 The Precision Erosion and Sediment Management Research Group (PrESM) has been awarded two Great Barrier Reef Foundation Innovation projects. The "Extracting River Bank and Gully Erosion Data from the Qld Power Grid" project targets a major missing data component needed for reducing the fine sediment erosion currently degrading Queensland rivers and the Reef. The "Understanding nutrient export from remediated gully systems" project will investigate if large scale gully remediation projects that reduce significant amounts of sediment run-off are also reducing nutrient pollution, therefore enabling the greatest cuts to reef pollution from any investment. Congratulations to the PrESM team!
