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...
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...
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...
The annual DARE Symposium is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our impactful research addressing environmental challenges using sophisticated data science methodologies. This year's program covered a diverse range of topics from deep-sea biota identification and ecological forecasting, to symbolic data analysis, causal discovery, and spatial-temporal quantile...
The announced agreement between the government and the Greens to increase water buy backs and provide specific funding for access of First Nations to the water market is an important step to achieve further equitable outcomes of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. However, achieving equitable water sharing...
In November, CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology released the State of the Climate 2022 Report, outlining changes to weather and climate extremes across Australia. As the magnitude and frequency of climate extremes increases our future becomes more uncertain. Our very existence is dependent on...
