In her role as an affiliate, Meredith is undertaking a multidisciplinary project to translate Murray River data on water quality and quantity into sound. This technique will be used to create a sonic fingerprint for this iconic river system.  The research will combine the data soundscape, plus actual sounds and images from the river to create a science communication piece on the health of this system. The project is a collaboration between Fenner and the School of Music and was listed as an International Year of Sound project in 2020.
