Albert and Logan River, South East Queensland Peri-Urban SuperSite, 2010

TERN Supersites Water Quality Data 2010. Albert River and Logan River. Continuously logged every 10 minutes. This data is continually being updated. In the SEQ Peri-urban Supersites located on the Logan and Albert Rivers, high-frequency biogeochemical and ecological studies are under way to help scientists understand why they contribute such high loads of nitrogen and sediment into Moreton Bay. Permanent measurement stations have been established at both nodes to provide continuous water quality and flow data. The stations consist of physico-chemical sensors to measure temperature, pH (degree of acidity or alkalinity), Eh (the redox, or reduction-oxidation, character of the water), conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll, blue green algae, CDOM and nitrate; and a velocity Doppler to measure river flow and height. These measurements will help researchers to quantify land-use change.
