Students: TBC

Supervisor: Sophie Leterme (Flinders University)

Project overview

This project builds on previous work conducted by Sophie's research team on the plankton communities of the Coorong.

​

It will identify phytoplankton indicator communities of drought and flood events along the length of the Coorong, from the Murray Mouth to Salt Creek. Samples collected during the drought and flooding periods have been analysed and data is readily available for analysis. This project will be desk based.
