Correction: Environmental Systems Research (2023) 12:23 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40068-023-00309-4

In this article (Thomas 2023), there has been an omission in the acknowledgements of an Elder (Joan Slade) of the communities and a word space was missing for the following two terms (occupied Country and active Country).

The revised acknowledgement is given below:

The Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) within this project was developed through ongoing consultation with the Aboriginal Advisory Group (AAG) of the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area (WLRWHA). ICIP protocols from the AAG governed the project development, approvals, and delivery of any published material. A deep gratitude to owed to the Paakantji (Barkindji), Mutthi Mutthi, and Ngyiampaa communities for sharing oral testimonies, enabling research on their homelands, and supporting our work. Further acknowledgements are to NSW Parks staff and individual community members (past and present): Jo McDonald, Harvey Johnson, Dan Rosendahl, Daryl Pappin, Leanne Mitchell, Tanya Charles, Ernie Mitchell, Ernest Mitchell, Ivan Johnson, Roy Kennedy, Rob Kelly, Kenny Clark, Maureen Taylor, Dawn Smith, Jean Charles, Mary Pappin, Bernadette Pappin, Patsy Winch, Coral Ellis, Joan Slade, and Lottie Williams. Specific acknowledgements also are given to Jeannette Hope, Rudy Frank, Wakefield family, Elizabeth Foley, Brian Armstrong, Lana Tranter-Edwards, Caroline Bandurski, David Crotty, Caroline Spry, Rebekah Kurpiel, Jacqui Tumney, Nathan Jankowski, John Miller, and Nicola Barnes for their help with the development of this project, either through fieldwork or discussions. The research within this article was supported by the La Trobe Internal Research Grant Scheme (IRGS), La Trobe Transforming Human Societies’ PhD scholarship, APA PhD scholarship, and funding from the overarching Mungo Archaeology Project (MAP), headed by Chief Investigator Associate Professor Nicola Stern (ARC-Linkage Project (LP0775058), Environmental Evolution of the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area, 2007–2009; ARC Discovery Project (DP1092966), Human Responses to Long Term Landscape and Climate Change, 2010–2014). Substantive discussions were also had with my supervisors and acknowledgements must go to my primary supervisors—Assoc. Prof Nicola Stern and Dr Mal Ridges—and secondary supervisor: Dr Matt Meredith-Williams.
