Palaeovalley and Cenozoic Hydrogeology of the West Musgrave Region

<b>Output type:</b> Exploring for the Future Extended Abstract

<b>Short abstract:</b> With remote communities in arid Australia often wholly reliant on groundwater for their community water supply, it is of vital importance that reliable, local hydrogeological information is available for water managers. To build an understanding of groundwater in an isolated, arid region of Australia, the Musgrave Palaeovalley Project, part of the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program, investigated the geological and hydrogeological characteristics of palaeovalleys and Cenozoic geology in the West Musgrave region. These findings will assist in securing remote Australia’s water resources in the face of a changing climate and increasing water demand. A conceptual groundwater model of the region was developed by employing advanced geoscientific techniques such as airborne electromagnetics and hydrogeochemical analyses. Groundwater in the region is fresh to brackish, with freshest water located in areas where preferential recharge pathways exist. Groundwater is generally young (&lt;100 years old) and recharged by episodic, high rainfall (&gt;70 mm/month) events. These rainfall events usually occur during wet seasons under La Niña conditions and/or when tropical low systems associated with cyclonic events and monsoonal rainfall travel inland from the north or northwest. High evapotranspiration pressures, water-rock interactions and nitrification processes are the most significant factors controlling groundwater hydrochemistry. Regional groundwater flow is slow and generally southerly towards the Eucla Basin with faulting and deformation leading to some groundwater compartmentalisation and alteration of flow regimes. This project presents the most comprehensive review of groundwater processes in the region. These findings contribute significantly to understanding both regional and local groundwater systems and provide a basis from which future investigations in the region can build upon.

Wombat Forest Flux Data Release 2026_v1

This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.23) as described by Isaac et al. (2017). PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).



Wombat State Forest site is a secondary re-growth forest that was last harvested in 1980. Dominant tree species are <em>Eucalyptus obliqua</em> (messmate stringybark), <em>Eucalyptus radiata</em> (narrow leaf peppermint) and <em>Eucalyptus rubida</em> (candlebark) with an average canopy height of 25&nbsp;m. The understorey consists mainly of patchy grasses and the soil is a silty-clay overlying clay. The forest is managed by the Department of Sustainability and Environment and management includes selective harvesting and prescribed burning regimes. The climate of the study area is classified as cool-temperate to Mediterranean with cold and wet winters (May-August) and warm and dry summers (December-February) with temperatures between 1 and 30&nbsp;°C and mean annual air temperature of 12.1&nbsp;°C. Annual rainfall is approximately 871&nbsp;mm (142 year long-term average). Coherent automated measurements of soil greenhouse gas fluxes (CO2, CH4 and N2O) were collected using a trailer-mounted mobile laboratory - Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectrometer from 2010 to 2016. Measurement height was originally 30&nbsp;m but increased to 33&nbsp;m in January 2017.



 The Wombat State Forest Flux tower was decommissioned 09 June 2021, and a new flux tower, Wombat State Forest 2 Flux Station was commissioned on 2024-05-08. The new tower height is approximately 44.19 m.

This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer in semi-arid Mulga woodland, using eddy covariance techniques.

 

The Alice Springs Mulga flux station is located on Pine Hill cattle station, approx. 170&nbsp;km north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The woodland is characterised by a mixed <em>Acacia aneura</em> and <em>Acacia aptaneura</em> canopy, with a total standing biomass of 32.5 t/ha and median canopy height of 4.3&nbsp;m (tallest trees reach 8.9&nbsp;m height). Elevation of the site is 602&nbsp;m above sea level, and the terrain is flat. Mean annual precipitation at the nearby (45&nbsp;km distant) Bureau of Meteorology station is 311&nbsp;mm - 140&nbsp;mm (1986-2025), but has ranged between 33&nbsp;mm in the hydrological years of 2018/2019 to 712&nbsp;mm in 2016/2017 since the tower is operational. Predominant wind directions are from the southeast and east. The extent of the woodland is 11&nbsp;km to the east of the flux station and 16&nbsp;km to the south. The soil is characterised as a red kandosol (74:11:15 sand:silt:clay) overlying an approx. 50&nbsp;m deep water table. Pine Hill Station is a functioning cattle station that has been in operation for longer than 50 years. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon are measured using the open-path eddy covariance technique at 11.6&nbsp;m. Supplementary measurements above the canopy include temperature and humidity (11.6&nbsp;m), downwelling and upwelling shortwave and longwave radiation (12.2&nbsp;m). Precipitation is monitored in a canopy gap near the tower (2&nbsp;m). Supplementary measurements below the canopy include barometric pressure (1&nbsp;m) and temperature and humidity (2&nbsp;m). Below ground soil measurements are made in bare soil, mulga, and understory habitats and include ground heat flux (0.08&nbsp;m), soil temperature (0.02&nbsp;m – 0.06&nbsp;m) and soil moisture (0 – 0.1&nbsp;m, 0.1 – 0.3&nbsp;m, 0.6 – 0.8&nbsp;m and 1.0 – 1.2&nbsp;m).

Great Western Woodlands Flux Data Release 2026_v1

This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.23) as described by Isaac et al. (2017). PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).



 Great Western Woodlands (GWW) comprise a 16 million&nbsp;ha mosaic of temperate woodland, shrubland and mallee vegetation in south-west Western Australia. The region has remained relatively intact since European settlement, owing to the variable rainfall and lack of readily accessible groundwater. The woodland component is globally unique in that nowhere else do woodlands occur at as little as 220&nbsp;mm mean annual rainfall. Further, other temperate woodlands around the world have typically become highly fragmented and degraded through agricultural use. Great Western Woodlands Site was established in 2012 in the Credo Conservation Reserve. The site is in semi-arid woodland and was operated as a pastoral lease from 1907 to 2007. The core 1&nbsp;ha plot is characterised by <em>Eucalyptus salmonophloia</em> (salmon gum), with <em>Eucalyptus salubris</em> and <em>Eucalyptus clelandii</em> dominating other research plots. The flux station is located in salmon gum woodland.

Phytoplankton Distribution and Abundance Dataset from the IN2021_V01 TEMPO Voyage

This dataset describes the distribution and abundance of phytoplankton collected during the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator research voyage IN2021_V01, titled Quantifying krill abundance for krill monitoring and management off the Australian Antarctic Territory. The voyage took place between 29 January and 24 March 2021, sailing from Hobart to Hobart as part of the 2021 TEMPO (Trends in Euphausiids off Mawson, Predators, and Oceanography) survey. The primary objective of the voyage was to estimate Antarctic krill biomass to support updates to the precautionary catch limit within CCAMLR Division 58.4.2-East and to improve understanding of krill habitat and ecosystem dynamics. As phytoplankton are a primary food source for krill, their distribution and abundance were surveyed along six north–south transects spanning 55°E to 80°E, extending from approximately 62–63°S to the sea-ice edge. Several transects overlapped with survey lines sampled during the 2006 BROKE-West voyage, enabling comparisons of ecosystem conditions over time.
