Modelling at Avalon Coastal Reserve

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 30 April, 2020 | 1

Development of a Restoration Action Plan is underway! Researchers from UNSW Water Research Lab are creating a hydrodynamic model to test restoration scenarios at Avalon Coastal Reserve. In August 2019, A/Prof. Will Glamore and Dr. Valentin Heimhuber from the UNSW Water Research Laboratory conducted topographic (RTK GPS) and bathymetric (Echosounder) surveys around the Avalon CoastalRead more

Changing the Tide!

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, Labwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 15 April, 2020 | 0

Master’s students from the Blue Carbon Lab are investigating the impacts of tidal restriction and tidal reinstatement on saltmarsh sediments. Saltmarshes are unique intertidal systems that serve as important habitat for native biodiversity, while also sequestering significant amounts of carbon. Due to their carbon sequestration ability, saltmarshes are vital nature-based assets in the fight againstRead more

Measuring methane ebullition from freshwater ponds

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 31 March, 2020 | 9

Scientists from the Blue Carbon Lab have begun measuring ebullition from retired sewage treatment freshwater ponds #EbullitionMission In 2019 we sampled a freshwater pond at one of our Victorian Coastal Wetland Restoration sites and found large amounts of methane being released. We wanted to know more about how the gas was being released, so weRead more

Summer surveys in saltmarsh restoration sites

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 3 February, 2020 | 0

On January 2020, the #VicWetlandRehab team was back on our Western Port site to continue monitoring work! Due to the devastating bushfires that were burning in south eastern Victoria, field work conditions were very smoky. The site was very dry compared to when we were there in October 2019. The team was out in theRead more

Blue Carbon: what is it and why do we care?

By Blue Carbon Lab | News, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 12 December, 2019 | 0

Continue reading … Dr. Mel Wartman from the Blue Carbon Lab wrote a community engagement piece about Blue Carbon and the #VicWetlandRehab Program for Connected to Port Phillip. The Connected to Port Phillip initiative, from Remember The Wild, aims to inspire new and stronger connections with the extraordinary ecosystem of Port Phillip Bay and support those whoRead more

How do carbon stocks and fluxes vary for different vegetated coastal ecosystems?

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 12 December, 2019 | 2

The Blue Carbon Lab headed back down to Avalon in mid-November 2019 to continue to monitor gas fluxes from the 6 different types of vegetated coastal ecosystems. The ecosystems monitored included tussock, shrubland, hypersaline, herbland, coastal dry and salt ponds. The team is monitoring a total of 54 plots, taking soil greenhouse gas measurements everyRead more

On Country visit at Point Lillias to discuss management options

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 8 December, 2019 | 0

In early November 2019, Wadawurrung Aboriginal Corporation (WAC) hosted an On Country meeting at Point Lillias to discuss management options with project partners. The team took this opportunity to walk around the site to identify areas that are an issue, and discuss different management options to protect important cultural heritage sites and improve native biodiversity.Read more

Spring Sampling for BRP Victorian Coastal Wetland Restoration Program

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 7 October, 2019 | 0

Spring Sampling for BRP Victorian Coastal Wetland Restoration Program Last week, Sept 30 to Oct 03 the #VicWetlandRehab team headed to our Gippsland Lakes and Western Port rehabilitation sites to continue pre-restoration surveys. The team collected greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide and methane) flux measurements, soil cores for carbon stock analysis, and vegetation surveys. In Gippsland,Read more

3CA funding for Wetland Restoration Citizen Science program

By Blue Carbon Lab | Citizen Science, Grant, News, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 3 October, 2019 | 0

In partnership with Greening Australia and the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation, the Blue Carbon Lab is one of the recipients of DELWP’s Community Climate Change Adaptation grants (3CA) to develop a 1-year ‘Wetland Restoration Citizen Science Program’ in the Gippsland region.   The program will engage, educate, and empower Gippsland communities on climateRead more

VIC Restoration year 1 completed!

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 13 September, 2019 | 0

The Coastal Victorian Wetland Restoration Program has officially wrapped up the first year of work! In June 2019, members from the Blue Carbon Lab (BCL) traveled to Gippsland Lakes and Bass River for the first fieldwork trip for the project. BCL is working with Greening Australia down in Gippsland on private land next to LakeRead more
