National Science Week aims to celebrate talents and achievements across science, innovation, mathematics, engineering and technology, as well as demonstrate the relevance of these fields to our daily lives, the wellbeing of society and the environmentally sustainable growth of our economy. We embraced this opportunity to...
The DARE team had a busy week at the 25th International Congress on Modelling and Simulation (MODSIM2023) with 11 presentations, two posters and of course, networking with other modelling experts! Three DARE PhD candidates presented their work, the team delivered a session on the opportunities and...
Our team were delighted to be a part of the Statistical Society of Australia's (SSA) NSW Branch event in June: Quantifying the known unknowns! DARE Deputy Director, Professor Lucy Marshall, and PhD candidate, Yiyi Ma, discussed the interaction between statistics and machine learning, aiming to address...
The DARE team are excited to begin a new project in collaboration with WaterNSW, which aims to help more accurately calculate the surface water losses experienced in mining impacted catchments in the Metropolitan Special Areas. Sophisticated data science capability guided by industry and domain experts...
To celebrate Data Science Week we asked the DARE team what they like about Data Science and how they are using it! We also hosted a Deluxe Data Challenge, where our PhD candidates and Postdocs were challenged by our Research Engineers to predict soil moisture time...
Australia’s Department of Industry, Science and Resources have been seeking input in order to refresh the National Science and Research priorities to reflect the country’s ambitions and challenges. DARE Director, Willem Vervoort, along with several DARE CIs provided a detailed response outlining challenges which can be...
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...
DARE Director Associate Professor Willem Vervoort is helping to coordinate new research initiatives to monitor complex river systems to better understand how water is used in NSW. University of Sydney researchers are part of an $850,000 joint initiative between the Department of Planning Industry and Environment...
Thursday, 27th May 2021 A recent paper by Dr Rohitash Chandra and colleagues has helped to close large gaps in the knowledge of environmental change over time, by harnessing the power of machine learning. This cutting-edge research utilises machine learning to reconstruct precipitation for the last 250 million years based on coal deposits - contributing...
