Salinity processes in Lake Eyre Basin rivers

艾尔湖流域(LEB)的不受管制的河流为研究自然盐碱化过程提供了一个独特的机会，这些河流在多个尺度上与墨累达令盆地(MDB)和其他地方的旱地河流具有水文和生物相似之处。尽管盐度水平可以随着水流条件的变化而变化两个数量级以上，但LEB的河流仍保持着高质量的生态健康。该项目将研究LEB未受管制的河流中的盐度过程，并利用新的示踪剂和水文测量和模拟相结合的方法确定溪流盐度的动态。

The unregulated rivers of the Lake Eyre Basin (LEB) provide a unique opportunity to study natural salinisation processes at multiple scales, in systems that have hydrological and biological similarities with dryland rivers in the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) and elsewhere. The rivers of the LEB maintain a high quality of ecological health despite salinity levels that can vary over two orders of magnitude with changing flow conditions. This project will study salinity processes in the unregulated rivers of LEB and identify the dynamics of stream salinity using a combination of novel tracer and hydrological measurements and modelling.
