Research Aims
The overarching aim of my research is to develop scientifically defensible solutions to a range of practical water resources problems. My recent research has centered on solving the following three problems:
- Quantifying the impacts of climate change and variability on Australian and international water resources, including on floods and drought;
- Developing flood estimation methods to handle complex multi-causal floods in urban, estuarine and rural catchments; and
- Improving hydrological (rainfall-runoff) models to better understand the role of data errors and non-stationarity, and quantifying prediction uncertainty
Consulting and Contract Research
During certain times of the year I am available to work on small or large consulting and contract research projects.
