Hydrology and Climate Impacts

Improve rainfall-runoff-recharge-water quality relationships and better understanding the interactions between climate variability, landscape characteristics and streamflow.

Example Projects:

• Development of Bayesian Total Error Analysis (BATEA) - a comprehensive framework for parameter estimation and probabilistic prediction accounting for data and model uncertainties applied in hydrological modelling
• Understanding and modelling the compounding nature of risks to extreme events
• Use of palaeo-data to improve hydrological modelling
• Rainfall prediction [Leonard M., Metcalfe A.V. and Lambert M.F. (2008). "Frequency analysis of rainfall and streamflow extremes accounting for seasonal and climatic partitions." Journal of Hydrology, 348(1-2), pp. 135-147]
