Scientists and Indigenous rangers teamed up for a 24-day expedition off Central Queensland to uncover the ancient landscapes buried beneath the Great Barrier Reef, using sediment cores as time capsules to map lost rivers, lakes, and beaches. By analyzing grain size, chemistry, and microscopic fossils, they’re piecing together a detailed environmental history — while blending cutting-edge science with ancestral knowledge from Darumbal and Woppaburra traditional owners. This collaboration not only reveals how the land evolved before it was drowned but also deepens cultural connections to the sea country. Though full analysis will take a year, the findings promise transformative insights into both past ecosystems and future reef conservation.
