Welcome to the 2022 edition of Research for the Riverine Plains.
It’s fair to say that 2021 was another rollercoaster year. This was in-part due to ongoing COVID lockdowns and border restrictions, as well as the on-again, off-again, on-again La Nina, which in conjunction with an Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) negative event, saw some significant weather events and rainfall records set across the region.
COVID also played havoc with many of our planned projects and events during 2021, however it was terrific to see so many Riverine Plains events go ahead, whether in person or online, and this speaks to the resilience and persistence of our members and staff who do what they can to learn, adapt and grow despite the challenges.
Research for the Riverine Plains, 2022 reports on our activities, events and project trials for the 2021 season.
