Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge

Research to support river and estuary management in northern Australia

At a time of increasing awareness of the value of water across Australia, it is vital that public debate, policy and management decisions about our tropical rivers and estuaries are informed by sound science.

We are providing the science and knowledge that governments, communities and industries need for the sustainable use and management of Australia's tropical rivers and estuaries.

 

Our research catchments

TRaCK researchers are working in different locations across the tropical north. Some projects are looking at the region as a whole while others are focusing on particular locations or catchments. Field activity is concentrated in the 4 focus catchments but is not confined to those locations. For example there is also field work in Darwin Harbour, the Norman River estuary (Qld) and the Archer River catchment (Qld).
