Australian Transect Network (Ecological Monitoring) Logo

This is what Australian Transect Network was looking for in their logo design

We need a logo design for a group of ecological scientists known as the "Australian Transect Network". The Australian Transect Network uses transects to help understand the Australian environment (plants, animals and soils) and see how it is changing.

A transect is a series of monitoring sites that are stretched out in a line covering several hundred kilometres of land or sea. These transects are stretched across gradients in rainfall (dry to wet), temperature (hot to cold), salinity (salty to fresh water) and/or altitude (mountains to lowlands).

By measuring the plants, animals and soils at each of these sites on a transect then seeing how species and the environment changes over all of the sites across a gradient (rainfall, temperature etc), we can predict how the ecology of these areas might change in the future. For example, if a climate change scientist predicts that a particular site might become 20% dryer and 1 degree warmer over the next 50 years, we can use … Read more
