Oil and gas exploration and development in the Lake Eyre Basin: distribution and consequences for rivers and wetlands, including the Coongie Lakes Ramsar Site

R. T. Kingsford et al.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of oil and gas production and exploration on floodplains of the Lake Eyre Basin and found that it poses a threat to wetlands and rivers. Despite existing legislation and policy, there is insufficient environmental assessment and protection in these areas.

Geochemical and geophysical indicators of oil and gas wastewater can trace potential exposure pathways following releases to surface waters

Isabelle M. Cozzarelli et al.

Summary: Releases of oil and gas wastewaters can have complex and persistent effects on stream-water quality and downstream organisms, influencing hydrologic conditions and ecological impacts. Contaminants from spills can persist in sediments and pore water, with variable concentrations depending on hydrologic conditions. Geomorphic investigations suggest that sediment mobilization is a significant contaminant transport process.

Coal seam gas industry methane emissions in the Surat Basin, Australia: comparing airborne measurements with inventories

Bruno G. Neininger et al.

Summary: Coal seam gas (CSG) accounts for a significant portion of natural gas production in Australia, and this study in the Surat Basin reveals that CSG methane emissions per unit of gas production are higher than previously estimated, indicating a need for further review and refinement of existing emission inventories. Prioritizing TD verification surveys could enhance global characterization of methane emissions.

Evaluating Potential for Groundwater Contamination from Surface Spills Associated with Unconventional Oil and Gas Production: Methodology and Application to the South Platte Alluvial Aquifer

Cynthia Mai Kanno et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the potential impact of hypothetical spills on groundwater quality in the South Platte Aquifer during unconventional oil and gas production operations. It was found that spill size is the dominant factor in determining whether contaminants reach the water table.

Adaptive Management of Malkumba-Coongie Lakes Ramsar Site in Arid Australia-A Free Flowing River and Wetland System

Richard T. Kingsford et al.

Summary: The Malkumba-Coongie Lakes Ramsar Site in central Australia is characterized by extensive terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. By implementing a Strategic Adaptive Management (SAM) Plan, stakeholders are engaged in setting shared vision and management objectives, with a focus on protecting the ecological character of the site.

Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance-Improving Conservation Outcomes

R. T. Kingsford et al.

Summary: The Ramsar Convention, signed in 1971, aims to promote global wise use of wetlands and has three primary objectives. After nearly five decades of operation, lessons have been learned for improving wetland conservation by increasing site numbers and area, improving representativeness, and enhancing management and reporting. It is critical to set targets, analyze representativeness, and strengthen management planning and reporting for better effectiveness of the Ramsar Site Network.

Future impacts of climate change on inland Ramsar wetlands

Yi Xi et al.

Summary: The 1971 Ramsar Convention promotes wetland conservation worldwide, and this study finds that while global wetland area expanded from 1980 to 2014, there is projected net area loss by 2100 due to climate change. Different regions will experience varying degrees of wetland loss, with Mediterranean, Mexico, Central America, and South Africa being particularly vulnerable, all important for seasonal waterbird migration. Climate mitigation efforts are crucial for the future conservation of Ramsar wetlands, along with reducing human disturbance.
