South Australia’s only World Heritage site, the Naracoorte caves, will be the focus of a $2 million research project to study megafauna extinctions.
The study will be led by Lee Arnold and Liz Reed from the University of Adelaide, and will also involve researchers from the University of Melbourne and the University of Queensland in Brisbane.
The project has received a $669,000 grant through the Australian Research Council Linkage programme, and around $1.3m in funding and support from the state government, local councils and SA wine producers.
