We propose to study heavy metal pollution (e.g., zinc, arsenic, iron, tin) and biogeochemical processes operating in acid mine drainage at the abandoned Mt Bischoff tin mine in Western Tasmania. The drainage waters at this site have pH values as low as 2, but contain an extensive and thriving natural biological community. We will evaluate whether the natural biogeochemical processes operating at Mt Bischoff have the potential to remediate mine waters under the full gamut of climatic conditions, so as to evaluate whether the biota could be exported to other mine sites to help in ameliorating acid drainage problems.

我们建议研究重金属污染（例如，锌、砷、铁、锡）和地球化学过程在塔斯马尼亚西部废弃的Mt Bischoff锡矿的酸性矿井排水中运行。 该地点的排水沃茨的pH值低至2，但含有广泛和繁荣的自然生物群落。 我们将评估在Mt Bischoff运行的天然生物地球化学过程是否具有在所有气候条件下修复矿井沃茨的潜力，以便评估生物群是否可以出口到其他矿区，以帮助改善酸性排水问题。
