I am a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering at the University of
Melbourne. I am presently the
Director of the CRC for Catchment
Hydrology, a cooperative centre bringing together key research and industry
organisations involved in
My research interests are in hydrological and
environmental modelling, spatial organisation and scale and broader issues of
environmental management including integration and adoption of R & D. As a
member of the Centre for
Environmental Applied Hydrology (CEAH) I have also been involved in a number of consulting and
contract research projects. Current projects include:
o
Integration
and scale issues related to environmental models with Dr Robert Argent and the CRC for Catchment Hydrology.
o
Spatial
organisation of soil moisture in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Western and Dr Ross Woods (National Insititute
for Water and Atmospheric Research, New Zealand), Guenter
Bloeschl (Technical University of Vienna), Peter Troch (University of Gent) and David Goodrich (USDA-ARS).
Information on the project can be found in: here.
o
Testing
of remote sensing platforms and data assimilation, focussing on soil moisture
with Dr. Jeffrey Walker.
o
Modelling
of water levels and hydrodynamics in estuarine environments with Kim Seong
Tan. This work is focussed on
establishing methods for determining the average recurrance
interval of flood levels due the combined effects of wind, ocean level, and
discharge in inflowing streams.
o
Use
of spatial patterns in hydrology and environmental modelling with Günter Blöschl
and two PhD students – Steve
Wealands and Matthew
Turner and Drs. David Wilson, Jeffrey Walker and Andrew Western.
o
Arid
zone hydrology with Justin
Costelloe, where we are making a series of
hydrological measurements, and undertaking modelling to provide input to a
multidisciplinary study of ecological response.
o
I'm
also working with the following graduate students in the Department, Adam Smith
(PhD – use of gravity changes as a measure of soil moisture change), Kevin
Ellett (PhD - use of gravity changes as a measure
of soil moisture change ), Subhadra Jha (PhD – stream
bank erosion modelling), Greg Summerell (PhD – dryland salinity processes and modelling ), Melanie McMaster (M.Eng. Sci. – hydrodynamic modelling), Kirsten Barlow (PhD – role
of agricultural drains in phosphorous transformations and storage), Elisa Howes (PhD. – scale issues in river habitat assessments), Myriam Ghali (Ph.D. –
decision making in NRM), DD Kandel (PhD – methods for temporal scaling in erosion
modelling)
