The Hub has developed a Research and Monitoring Database (RaMonD) that aims to share knowledge of current and recent research and monitoring activities within the Hub's themes with those working in aquatic ecology. Sharing of this knowledge can avoid duplication of research effort and can provide effective research links to people and resources within topics of interest.
RaMonD is maintained by the Hub with inputs from the Victorian Catchment Management Authorities, the Arthur Rylah Institute, DELWP and the Victorian Environmental Water Holder (VEWH).
Please note that initial content within RaMonD covers only one theme - water for the environment. It is intended that following feedback from users, this content will be expanded to include all themes.
Sediment DNA and diatom analysis in the Koondrook- Perricoota Forest
| Habitat type | wetland |
| Program | The Living Murray |
| Theme | Environmental Water |
| Objective | To explore the potential to use palaeoecological techniques to provide long term context to the understanding of the wetlands of the Koondrook-Perricoota Forest. In May 2017 cores were taken from, amongst others, Dead River Lagoon in the Perricoota Forest of NSW. The core extracted from Dead River Lagoon proved the most promising for the reconstruction of long term change and so the analyses of fossil diatom and DNA remains focussed on the record from this site. |
