DustWatch Volunteers - Greg and Lorraine Ayson. Contributing to vital dust storm and wind erosion research in Australia for over 10 years.
Dr John Leys, leader of the DustWatch program at the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) who manage and partly fund the program, said DustWatch is the first citizen science wind erosion project of its kind.
“The program relies heavily on the ongoing support of its 44 volunteers. Most of the 39 monitoring stations across the state are set up in extremely remote locations and we could not operate without the dedicated volunteers who collect data during dust events and maintain instruments on a monthly basis,” Mr Leys said.
