Researchers from the US based Virginia Tech Center for Ecosystem Forecasting in collaboration with the University of Adelaide, University of Western Australia, and Griffith University along with water managers from the Department for Environment and Water and Murray-Darling Basin Authority, visited the CLLMM Research Centre drawing an audience of 80 attendees, including businesses, students and Ngarrindjeri Rangers.
Discussions focused on forecasting water temperature, water salinity, algal blooms and depth and how this information could be readily accessed to aid decision making around Lake Alexandrina. The Virginia research team have now returned home to further develop the modelling based on feedback they received.
