Following an intensive audit, Hydrobiology is pleased to announce that we have been awarded the Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) from the Flight Safety Foundation. This covers our Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems operations (RPAS/drones). BARS is an International Aviation Safety Program, based on a suite of risk-based aviation standards that are measured during annual audits.…
Biodiversity in or on the seabed can be characterised by ecologically important benthic communities and habitats (BCH). BCH can consist of superficial taxa such as photosynthetic seagrasses, algae and corals as well as subsurface critters like worms and molluscs that generate their energy from consuming organic matter and other organisms. Through an extensive portfolio of…
Hydrobiology recently expanded its capabilities to conduct ground water dating in the remote eastern Pilbara by sampling numerous artesian and deep bores. This was conducted in partnership with Australian Nuclear Science & Technology Organisation (ANSTO) who will use various isotope dating techniques to identify the age of the water in the regional aquifers. The 14…
