Hydrological understanding is commonly synthesised into more or less complex mechanistic models, some of which have become “as inscrutable as nature itself” (Harte, 2002). Most of these models contain a number of unknown parameters, which have to be calibrated on past observations. This (...)

Guest speakers, including an ERA panel (...)

The Research Development Office will be presenting a seminar regarding the rules and how to write a winning application for an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.

Although more than 95% of relevant domain experts agree that human CO2 emissions are altering the world’s climate, a notable segment of the public rejects the scientific evidence.

Further to use the model to forecast future behaviour, one must accurately estimate the full state of the system when predictions begin and measurements (...)
