Description
Currently, Mel is pursuing doctoral research through the Australian National University which examines Rock Art conservation and management across Northern Australia at sites in Kakadu National Park, Western Arnhem Land on Mirarr Country and the West Kimberley Region. Over the past five years, Mel has investigated current trends and the importance of monitoring sites of cultural importance. She has also addressed the significance of conservation and management; in response to pressing issues impacting on this practice which include the pressures of global population growth, associated development and resource demands, the lack of government legislative support to protect heritage sites and increased environmental pressures relative to Climate Change. Mel will provide an overview of these issues and present the outcomes of her research findings to date.
