Genetic Algorithms for Calibrating a Catchment Modelling System with Spatially Variable Parameters

Fang Tina; Ball James (Research Publishing Services, 2007)
Groundwater simulation using the minimum dissipation principle

Merrick Noel (A. A. Balkema Publishers, 2001)
Heavy metal distribution in estuarine sediments: a comparison of a seagrass bed and adjacent bare sediment

Dowsett Noni; Rayburg Scott (Engineers Australia, 2011)

Seagrasses are highly productive and dynamic ecosystems, which supply a range of ecosystem services. Despite this, seagrass communities are globally in decline, largely due to anthropogenic influences. Urban and agricultural ...
How best to handle competition for a scarce resource

Merrick Noel (A. A. Balkema Publishers, 2001)
Hydraulic geometry in river channel networks as method for the assessmnet of river condition

Thornton Elizabeth; Neave Melissa; Rayburg Scott (Charles Sturt University, 2007)

Aspects of channel morphology were examined across the stream network in the Kangaroo River catchment, NSW. Downstream hydraulic geometry relationships were analysed as appropriate methods of predicting alterations in ...
Hydrogeology, Hydrogeochemistry and Isotope Hydrology of Al Kufrali and Sirt Basins, Eastern Libya

Milne-Home William; Salloum Fathi; Safili Naser (Gutenberg Press Ltd, 2008)

Large volumes of good quality groundwater occur in aquifers withinAl Kufrah and Sirt sedimentary basins. The main aquifer in Al Kufrah Basin is the Cretaceous Nubian Sandstone which consists of cross-bedded sandstones, ...
Hydrogeology of the Blue Mountains, NSW: Simulating impacts of bore abstraction and sewer tunnel inflows on stream base-flow

Kelly Bryce; Brown Stuart; Merrick Noel (New Zealand Hydrological Society, IAH Australian Chapter New Zealand Society of Soil Science, 2005)

The Blue Mountains sandstone aquifer is an important water resource for domestic, rural and industrial use, and also hosts numerous ecosystems that are highly or entirely dependent on groundwater. In this study, conceptual ...
Identifying relationships between flood history, flood frequency and the provenance of surface sediments in a semi-arid terminal wetland

Rayburg Scott; Thoms Martin (IAHS Publications, 2008)

In semi-arid environments, dryland wetlands serve as key loci for biological diversity and productivity. This stems from their relative abundance of water and the comparative richness of their soils which are reinvigorated ...
The infilling of a terminal floodplain-wetland complex

Cossart Rob; Thoms Martin; Rayburg Scott (International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2006)

t Flood plain wetland complexes are mosaics of physical units and the sediments contained within these various units often display spatial and temporal complexity. This paper reconstructs the environmental history of a ...
The influence of physical factors on channel morphology and geomorphic diversity

White A.; Rayburg Scott; Neave M. (Engineers Australia, 2011)

This study investigates the influence of three external factors (channel confinement, riparian vegetation and the presence of in-channel islands and bars) on the downstream morphology and variability of a 600-m reach of ...
Integrating hydrology and ecology models into flexible and adaptive decision support tools: the IBIS DSS

Merritt W; Pollino C; Powell S; Rayburg Scott (Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand, 2009)

Terminal wetlands in the semi-arid regions of northern NSW are important ecological refuges for native fauna, especially during dry times. Many of these systems have become increasingly stressed by human induced changes ...
Investigating the effectiveness of a new soil drainage and irrigation technology (Capiphon Drainage Belt), Part 1, Installation

Merrick Noel; Bedrossian Sevag; Yates Derek; Leslie Doug; Fenn Geoffrey (New Zealand Hydrological Society, IAH, Australian Chapter New Zealand Society of Soil Science, 2005)

A new technology (Capiphon Drainage Belt, or COB) is applicable to drainage and irrigation tasks. When compared with existing drainage technologies such as slotted pipe, the technology is expected to provide: • simpler ...
Mars express high resolution stereo camera: results of observations of north Tyrrhena terra Mars

Caprarelli Graziella; Pondrelli Monica; Di Lorenzo Stefano; Marinangeli Lucia; Ori Gian; Neukum Gerhard (National Space Society of Australia Ltd, 2007)
Modelling Street Surface Runoff

Ball James; Alexander Mark (Research Publishing Services, 2007)
MODET - A modular model for estimating spatially distributed evapotranspiration, crop surface temperature and energy balance

Punthakey Jf; Milne-Home William; Yunusa Isa; Theiveyanathan T; Prathapar Sa (IAH NSW Branch, 2011)

This paper describes a conceptnal framework for estimating spatially distributed evapotranspiration using a quasi two-layered resistance-energy balance model, which combines an energy balance equation for a crop surface ...
Performance Based Assessment of Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction Effects on Seismic Response of Building Frames

Fatahi Behzad; Tabatabaiefar Seyed Hamid Reza; Samali Bijan (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011)

Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) has progressed rapidly in the second half of 20th century stimulated mainly by requirements of the nuclear power and offshore industries to improve the seismic safety. In this study, a ...
Planetary science in Australia

Noman Marc; Bennett Vickie; Caprarelli Graziella; Carter Brad; Clarke Jon; Nelson David; Stegman David; Taylor S; Vladimirov Sergey; Walter Malcolm (National Space Society of Australia Ltd, 2008)

Planetary science studies the origin of the solar system and whether life exists on other planets. It has the potential to change the way we vie the world and our selves. Planetary science offers a cost effective means for ...
Potential impacts of water resource development on soil character in a semi-arid floodplain-wetland complex

Carroll-Macdonald T.; Rayburg Scott; Neave M. (Engineers Australia, 2011)

Altered flow regimes are widely acknowledged as a major driver of deteriorating conditions in Australian floodplain ecosystems. These ecosystems have historically been sites of high biodiversity and productivity with much ...
Salinity and erosion: a preliminary investigation of soil erosion on a salinised hillslope

Neave Melissa; Rayburg Scott (International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2006)

This study aims to determine whether increasing soil salinity levels promote higher rates of mnoff induced erosion. Rainfall simulation experiments, with an average intensity of 75 mm h- I , were conducted on eight 1-m2 ...
The Service Science of Climate Change Policy Analysis: applying the Spatial Climate Economic Policy Tool for Regional Equilibria

Nettleton Stuart (University of Sydney, 2010)

The use of Computable General Equilibrium modelling in evidence-based policy requires an advanced policy making frame of reference, advanced understanding of neoclassical economics and advanced operations research capabilities. ...
