The 2011 Victorian Waterways Archive

Alison specializes in scientific and environmental photography with a particular focus on water-related subjects. She worked previously as a freshwater research scientist with various authorities including Melbourne, La Trobe and Northern Territory Universities, Department of Sustainability & Environment, Victorian Environment Protection Authority and Water Ecoscience.

The 2011 archive will soon be available and contains over 1200 images from over 220 Victorian waterways and catchments.

The images portray both technical and aesthetic aspects of Victorian waterways. Environmental processes such as salinity, erosion, eutrophication and landuse impacts are illustrated in some images while others are more aesthetic with an abstract or textural nature. Drought-related images are also featured in the archive. The images capture both broad scale catchment perspectives through to macro details. All images are embedded with location descriptors metadata.

The Archive is available for viewing online via password or a DVD thumbnail archive can be forwarded for viewing on request. Individual high resolution images or the entire archive are available for purchase.
