Landfills present unique opportunities for ecological rehabilitation, serving as high-value after use options that promote habitat creation and enhance ecological connectivity. Additionally, these sites can be transformed into passive recreational spaces for communities. This Friday Richard Campbell will join Ruby Michael, Senior Lecturer at Griffith University and Founder of Green Infrastructure Research Labs (GIRLS) and Vishal Rajendraprasad Chulliparambil, PhD candidate in Ecological Rehabilitation of Landfill using Phytocapping at Green Infrastructure Research Labs (GIRLS). This Webinar will delve into current practices, opportunities, and challenges associated with the ecological rehabilitation of landfills, informed by surveys conducted in Queensland. They will introduce a GIS-based tool designed to identify, evaluate, and prioritize landfill sites for ecological rehabilitation. Some of the following practical phytocapping foundations for setting your landfill up for successful ecological rehabilitation will be explored: ·      Opportunities and barriers for the ecological rehabilitation of landfill ·      A GIS tool for prioritising ecological rehabilitation ·      Optimising soil density for plant water use and root growth ·      Plant selection for achieving resilient, multi-benefit outcomes Don't miss it!, Register Below! 👇 #environmentalmonitoring #phytocapping #landfill #ecologicalrehabilitation

Due to PFAS contamination - the recycled organics industry is facing the dilemma of diverting material to landfills rather than recycling it. A diverse range of Per- and Poly– Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) have been identified in organic feedstocks. In our recent webinar “PFAS uncovered – Innovations in mass flow monitoring and management”, we were joined by Matthew Askeland, Principal Environmental Scientist from ADE Consulting Group who explored the growing challenges industries face in managing PFAS effectively. A big THANKYOU to Matthew for squeezing us into his busy schedule and join Richard Campbell to deliver this engaging Webinar, even right before catching a flight! If you were not able to make it on the day or have missed any of our Webinars, we post all our webinars on the HydroTerra website; https://lnkd.in/gcpz7xG4 #environmentalmonitoring #webinars #leadingexperts #PFAS

A Webinar on PFAS this Friday! Join us as we talk about innovations in PFAS mass flow monitoring and management. This week we are welcoming Matthew Askeland from ADE Consulting Group. Matthew is an environmental professional engaged in the contaminated land, resource recovery, and circular economy sectors, specialising in the management of emerging contaminants. In this talk, Matthew will discuss how regulatory uncertainty and research gaps hinder innovation, leaving industries without the necessary tools to manage PFAS effectively. Matthew will be joined by our own Managing Director, Richard Campbell.

Our webinars are our way to connect with our community, share industry expertise, and provide valuable insights for personal, professional, or academic growth. We explore a wide range of topics to enrich our discussions. This week, instead of a new webinar, we’re revisiting two informative sessions on a topic that raises many questions: Microplastics! Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size, often originating from the breakdown of larger plastics or from synthetic fibers. They are everywhere—in our oceans, rivers, and even the air we breathe. The impact of microplastics on soil ecosystems and the human food chain remains largely unknown, which is alarming! In 2023, we hosted two webinars on this crucial subject: 1. Microplastics in soil need more attention! But why? Presenter: Suzie Reichman Suzie, from The University of Melbourne, shared her research on the fate and behavior of microplastics in soil and their implications for human health. As the director of the Centre for Anthropogenic Pollution Impact and Management (CAPIM), she focuses on the effects of contaminants, including microplastics and PFAS, in soil. Watch the Webinar Here: https://lnkd.in/ghKuAEHX 2. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Side of Plastics Presenter: Ricki Hersburgh Ricki discussed the pressing issue of ocean pollution, which has become a significant global challenge. With a diverse background in environmental education, from the Asia Pacific Healthy Oceans campaign to initiatives in British Columbia and Australia, Ricki inspires action across various communities.

There's always "one more thing" to learn! HydroTerra was proud to lead the Groundwater sampling component of The Australian Hydrographers Association (AHA) water monitoring skill technical workshop that was held in Darwin on 16-19 September 2024. Our Managing Director, Richard Campbell and Ture Carlson, one of our Senior Environmental Scientists conducted the training. Read more in our October Newsletter edition about the success of this training and what HydroTerra has in the pipeline for more of education services and how you can get involved. https://lnkd.in/g3uvBHe5 #environmentalmonitoring #GroundwaterSampling #OnlineLearning #InPersonTraining

HydroTerra Webinars enable a unique opportunity to hear from Leaders in the field and this week we are hosting, John Webb from La Trobe University. It's on this Friday so Register Now!

If you're in Darwin this week, Say Hi to HydroTerra Pty Ltd! Our Managing Director, Richard Campbell and Environmental Scientist, Ture Carlson are presenting the Groundwater Monitoring Course at the Australian Hydrographers Association, 2024 AHA Training Week. This course is designed for water quality practitioners in sampling, time series monitoring, and analysis roles. Over the three days, this course will include: - Groundwater 101 - Management considerations - Why collections are made - Measuring parameters to understand variable density in coastal groundwater and groundwater-surface water interactions - Design of monitoring networks - General groundwater level measurement and monitoring - Groundwater sampling - Contouring to understand groundwater flow directions - How the data is used The course will include a visit to a local groundwater monitoring station for the practical component of the training. If you're attending the course, come and visit us! For more information please visit the AHA website: https://lnkd.in/dJrq5wXf

Don’t miss this chance to gain insights from a leading expert and discover innovative approaches to one of today’s pressing environmental challenges. Register now and be part of the conversation! John Webb from La Trobe University, Melbourne is joining us as we tackle understanding and addressing acid mine drainage and how to carefully consider the environmental remediation. John is a accomplished Emeritus Professor of Environmental Geoscience. He specialises in groundwater geochemistry, including at contaminated sites, and is involved in research projects on improving treatment procedures for acid mine drainage, and on the origin of springs in central Queensland.

How do we bring together the knowledge, tools, governance models, and workforce capability to optimise investments in water catchments? This informative webinar will discuss opportunities for harnessing recent advances in #AI tools to collate diverse data and information sources for catchments. With the aim to reduce the ‘data churn’ and bring all actors to the negotiating table with increased access to technical, scientific, and socio-ecological information. Richard Campbell will be joined by David Hamilton, Director and Professor in the Australian Rivers Institute, Griffith University and Ajmal Mian, Professor of Computer Science at The University of Western Australia known for his research in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Robotics.
