In 1986 a one year program to investigate the biota of Coongie Lakes was initiated. The aims were to: identify and document the seasonal changes to the flora and fauna of the Coongie Lakes District, to assess the impacts of human activities and other agencies upon the biota and to make recomendations for the areas effective conservation management. The report by Reid & Gillen 1988 summarises the findings. The biological research of Coongie Lakes continued until 1997 as more funding was received. In 1990 a project to assess the impact of flooding on the districts terrestrial biota was also conducted. Photopoint Site Sheets and a 31/2 inch floppy disc are field with the BioDataStore hardcopy files containing details of photopoint seqences from 1986-1988. It is unknown if these photos or information has been captured electronically. REFERENCE: Reid, J., Gillen, J.S.,1988,The Coongie Lakes Study,Department of Environment and Planning.

This survey examined the Goyder Lagoon in the far North East of South Australia in order to increase knowledge of the Lagoon and hopefully contribute to its conservation and future management. The Goyder Lagoon Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

This survey documents the range of habitats and associated fauna in the Cooper Creek Environmental Association 8.4.4, North Eastern SA. Sites selected to cover habitat and environment subassociations.

This survey was held in the Kanowana Block between 1990 and 1992. The Kanowana Block contains a vast network of channels, lakes, waterholes irrigated by floodwaters from the south west branch of the Cooper Creek and the northern overflow from Coongie Lakes. The survey was based on the current survey methodology for flora and vertebrate surveys which were adapted to suit the wetland system. Several objectives of the project were to adopt a site-based survey to assess, classify and map vegetation of the area, to create a baseline data for future monitoring and contributing to an understanding of the wetland system. The project was also a pilot study to test approaches and techniques for vegetation survey and mapping in other desert wetland systems of the Lake Eyre basin.

The Marqualpie Land System, in the Innamincka Regional Reserve, was surveyed between 1989 and 1992. This survey was established to produce a baseline of flora and fauna and to look at the habitats in the area. It was surveyed before the development of the area by the Petroleum Industry. The Marqualpie Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

A survey carried out between 1983 and 1992 to examine the possible effects of production gas wells on the flora and fauna in the Strzelecki Dunefields. The Strzelecki Dunefields Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

Kinchega National Park Vegetation Survey (also part of DARLING survey). The KINCHEGA(Kinchega National Park Vegetation Survey (also part of DARLING survey)) Survey is part of the Vegetation Information System Survey Program of New South Wales which is a series of systematic vegetation surveys conducted across the state between 1970 and the present.

Part of the ongoing Biological Survey of South Australia. To sample the range of vegetation communities and landform types occurring in the region (Outback). The survey conducted in 2008/2009 surveyed the variety of habitats present in the Marqualpie Land System, and the fauna within them. Marqualpie Land System. Jumbled sand dunes and sand plains. Jumbled dunes, sandplains, channels and swampy flats abutting tableland country on Cordillo Downs and Innamincka Regional Reserve. Red dunes with sandhill wattle, sandhill spider flower and rattlepods over dense spinifex; a variety of flats with lignum, canegrass, Queensland bluebush, neverfail, Mitchell grass and coolibah on the channels and deeper depressions; sandplains with mulga, dead finish and bloodwood over woolybutt, spinifex and annual grasses. The MARQUALPIE LAND SYSTEM Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

A survey conducted to determine the distribution and status of Kowaris (an endangered species) in relation to historical records: determine habitat preferences and causes of decline. The study area expanded around Lake Eyre and the Simpson-Tirari Deserts, extending south from Boulia to Marree then north to Witjira - Charlotte Waters on the SA/NT border. Survey extends into Northern Territory and Queensland. The Kowari Project Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

Distributional data for target and off-target species of small mammals collected as part of the Rare Rodent Project. The Rare Rodent project involves the ongoing monitoring of two species of threatened rodent, the Plains Rat (Pseudomys australis) and the Dusky Hopping Mouse (Notomys fuscus). The project aims to look at distribution, status and ecology of the species (in Outback South Australia). Currently there are two monitoring sites for each species, which are visited twice a year. The project began in 1992 and hopes to continue in the long term subject to funding. An additional species, the Kultarr (Antechinomys laniger), is now being targeted as part of the project due to its unknown status. The Rare Rodents Project Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.
