Founded at Edith Cowan University in 2008, the Mine Water and Environment Research (MiWER) Centre is headed by Associate Professor Mark Lund. The research group has a focus on mine waters; particularly pit lakes formed from open-cut mining. The group’s research also extends to the ecology and rehabilitation of all inland water bodies, natural and constructed. MiWER’s aim is to further understanding of freshwater science using creative, cutting-edge technologies and innovative approaches for practically improving resource sustainability and environmental condition. MiWER is also a member of the Centre for Ecosystem Management at Edith Cowan University.
