科学家研究澳大利亚河流的污染问题,以对抗藻类开花并指导恢复工作。 Scientists study pollution in Australian rivers to fight algal blooms and guide restoration efforts.

由格里菲斯大学教授Michele Burford领导的澳大利亚河流研究所的科学家正在研究洛根河和霍克斯伯里-内佩斯河的营养污染问题,以查明与藻类开花和生态系统损害有关的氮和磷的来源。 Scientists at the Australian Rivers Institute, led by Griffith University’s Professor Michele Burford, are studying nutrient pollution in the Logan and Hawkesbury-Nepean rivers to identify sources of nitrogen and phosphorus linked to algal blooms and ecosystem harm. 该项目为期三年,利用水取样、实验室分析和预测模型,旨在确定污染来源——例如农业、城市径流和废水——并评估未来气候条件下的恢复战略。 Using water sampling, lab analysis, and predictive models, the three-year project aims to pinpoint pollution origins—such as agriculture, urban runoff, and wastewater—and evaluate restoration strategies under future climate conditions. 调查结果可以指导有针对性的恢复、支持营养抵消方案、向碳和生物多样性贸易等新兴环境市场提供信息,帮助政府和投资者根据数据作出决定,改善河流健康。 Findings could guide targeted rehabilitation, support nutrient offset programs, and inform emerging environmental markets like carbon and biodiversity trading, helping governments and investors make data-driven decisions to improve river health.
