Active heat pulse sensing of 3-D-flow fields in streambeds
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2018-03-20)Profiles of temperature time series are commonly used to determine hyporheic flow patterns and hydraulic dynamics in the streambed sediments. Although hyporheic flows are 3-D, past research has focused on determining the ... -
Age and quality stratification of groundwater in the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone aquifer of South Yorkshire and the East Midlands, UK
(Elsevier, 2018-08-09)Groundwater from the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone aquifer of the English East Midlands shows a well-documented evolution in chemistry and residence time as it flows downgradient from shallow unconfined conditions to greater ... -
Agricultural Land Fragmentation at Urban Fringes: An Application of Urban-To-Rural Gradient Analysis in Adelaide
(MDPI, 2017-04-16)One of the major consequences of expansive urban growth is the degradation and loss of productive agricultural land and agroecosystem functions. Four landscape metrics—Percentage of Land (PLAND), Mean Parcel Size (MPS), ... -
Analysis of ASR Clogging Investigations at Three Australian ASR Sites in a Bayesian Context
(MDPI, 2016-10-11)When evaluating uncertainties in developing an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) system, under normal budgetary constraints, a systematic approach is needed to prioritise investigations. Three case studies where field ... -
Assessing the controls and uncertainties on mean transit times in contrasting headwater catchments
(Elsevier, 2017-12-06)Estimating the time required for water to travel through headwater catchments from where it recharges to where it discharges into streams (the transit time) is important for understanding catchment behaviour. This study ... -
Assessment of conceptual model uncertainty for the regional aquifer Pampa del Tamarugal – North Chile
(Copernicus Publications / European Geosciences Union, 2010)In this work we assess the uncertainty in modelling the groundwater flow for the Pampa del Tamarugal Aquifer (PTA) – North Chile using a novel and fully integrated multi-model approach aimed at explicitly accounting for ... -
Australian Food Safety Policy Changes from a “Command and Control” to an “Outcomes-Based” Approach: Reflection on the Effectiveness of Its Implementation
(MDPI, 2016-12-08)Foodborne illness is a global public health burden. Over the past decade in Australia, despite advances in microbiological detection and control methods, there has been an increase in the incidence of foodborne illness. ... -
Barriers to Effective Municipal Solid Waste Management in a Rapidly Urbanizing Area in Thailand
(MDPI, 2017-09-04)Housing is an important social determinant of health; however, little is known about the impact of housing experiences on health and wellbeing for people from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds. In this paper, we outline ... -
Barriers to Effective Municipal Solid Waste Management in a Rapidly Urbanizing Area in Thailand
(MDPI, 2017-09-04)This study focused on determining the barriers to effective municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in a rapidly urbanizing area in Thailand. The Tha Khon Yang Subdistrict Municipality is a representative example of many ... -
Bayesian data fusion for watertable interpolation: incorporating a hydrogeological conceptual model in kriging
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)The creation of a contour map of the water table in an unconfined aquifer based on head measurements is often the first step in any hydrogeological study. Geostatistical interpolation methods (e.g., kriging) may provide ... -
Carbon uptake and water use in woodlands and forests in southern Australia during an extreme heat wave event in the “Angry Summer” of 2012/2013
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union., 2016-11-01)As a result of climate change warmer temperatures are projected through the 21st century and are already increasing above modelled predictions. Apart from increases in the mean, warm/hot temperature extremes are expected ... -
Characterisation, interpretation and implications of the Adelaide Urban Heat Island
(Flinders University, 2013-06)This project focusses on examining the existence and repercussions of an urban heat island and warming generally, for Adelaide city. Adelaide is unique in having a CBD that is surrounded entirely by a band of parks of the ... -
Characterising the invertebrate megafaunal assemblages of a deep-sea (200–3000 m) frontier region for oil and gas exploration: the Great Australian Bight, Australia
(Elsevier, 2018-08-08)The first systematic benthic survey in the deep sea (200–3000 m) of Australia’s Great Australian Bight (GAB) was undertaken in 2015 to characterise the invertebrate megafauna, and to inform the selection of indicators and ... -
Characteristics and causal factors of hysteresis in the hydrodynamics of a large floodplain system: Poyang Lake (China)
(Elsevier, 2017-08-26)A previous modeling study of the lake-floodplain system of Poyang Lake (China) revealed complex hysteretic relationships between stage, storage volume and surface area. However, only hypothetical causal factors were ... -
Characteristics of active seawater intrusion
(Elsevier, 2017-08)The inland migration of seawater in coastal aquifers, known as seawater intrusion (SWI), can be categorised as passive or active, depending on whether the hydraulic gradient slopes downwards towards the sea or the land, ... -
Climatic and environmental controls on stable isotopes in atmospheric water vapor near the surface observed in Changsha, China
(Elsevier, 2018)Continuous measurements were made of isotopic compositions in atmospheric water vapor (δv) and in atmospheric precipitation (δp) near the surface in the subtropical monsoon region (Changsha, China) from October 2014 to ... -

Community Perspective on Consultation on Urban Stormwater Management: Lessons from Brownhill Creek, South Australia
(MDPI, 2016)There are salutary lessons from contrasting community consultation efforts in 2011 and 2015 to develop and gain support for an urban stormwater management plan for the Brownhill Creek catchment in Adelaide, South Australia. ... -
Comparison of MODIS and SWAT evapotranspiration over a complex terrain at different spatial scales
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union., 2018)In most hydrological systems, evapotranspiration (ET) and precipitation are the largest components of the water balance, which are difficult to estimate, particularly over complex terrain. In recent decades, the advent ... -
Contrasting responses of water use efficiency to drought across global terrestrial ecosystems
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-03-17)Drought is an intermittent disturbance of the water cycle that profoundly affects the terrestrial carbon cycle. However, the response of the coupled water and carbon cycles to drought and the underlying mechanisms remain ...
