The DARE team recently submitted a response to the ARC's Review of the National Competitive Grants Program. Despite some encouraging aspects to the proposed restructure, we are particularly concerned about the proposed discontinuation of industry-linked programs. At a time when industry investment in R&D is...
DARE recently submitted a response to the Department of Industry, Science and Resources' Strategic Examination of Research and Development (R&D) consultation. Our recommendations focus on strengthening industry-university collaboration through co-designed research, innovation hubs, expanded industry placements and dedicated funding for research translation roles. ...
This World Water Day, DARE Director Willem Vervoort reflects on the importance of uncertainty quantification in water management. By embracing uncertainty quantification, we can improve data quality, refine sampling and monitoring approaches, and make more informed water management decisions - ensuring greater resilience in the face...
The annual DARE Symposium showcased the innovative research of our PhD candidates, who are harnessing Data Science to tackle pressing environmental challenges. The variety of presentations demonstrated the impact of applying sophisticated data science methods for mineral resource estimation, optimising hydrological modelling, species occurrence prediction, e-waste...
You're invited to the final DARE Symposium – Showcasing Multidisciplinary Data Science for the Future! This special event highlights five years of innovation, collaboration and impact. DARE has trained a new generation of data scientists equipped to tackle critical challenges in the environment and resource...
After considerable reflection and careful evaluation, we have made the difficult decision to delay the DARE Research Hub application and not to proceed with the proposal for the 2025 round. The DARE Training Centre is committed to working with all our partners (and potential new...
In a recent radio interview and article with ABC South East NSW, DARE Director and leading hydrologist, Willem Vervoort discussed the Snowy 2.0 and its resilience to climate change. Future projections for the alpine climate indicate extended droughts leading to water shortages, interspersed with periods of...
The National Water Agreement is an important step and will be one of the great achievements in Australian water management in the last decade. Among other suggestions, DARE Director Willem Vervoort highlights the need for uncertainty quantification to aid in understanding the limitations of simulation models...
Continuing the DARE Centre’s legacy, the DARE Research Hub will develop novel Data Science to support industry in solving complex environmental challenges. We aim to empower industry partners to understand, quantify and contextualise uncertainty using data science, driving evidence-based decisions to safeguard Australia’s natural resources....
On World Water Day, DARE Director Prof Willem Vervoort highlights that it continues to be a priority to improve how we measure water resources and to improve model predictions across our large catchments, otherwise we will continue in failing to deliver equitable water management. “Having a...
