Turbulent transport of algae in stably stratified rivers: a computational fluid dynamics study

In stably stratified shear flows, turbulent mixing is suppressed by the background stratification. In rivers, these conditions allow buoyant cyanobacteria to float to the surface an more...

Turbulent mixing in stably stratified flow: a laboratory and field based study

In stably stratified shear flows, turbulent mixing is suppressed by the background stratification. This project will examine this dynamic using laboratory experiments and field meas more...

Scaling hydrological models from continent to catchment

A major question in hydrology revolves around scaling, that is, how we translate model results from for example a continental scale to a finer catchment or local scale. This is part more...

Portfolios of crop choices and water licences

Under increased climate variability and increased pressure on water resources, agricultural producers face difficult choices in terms of what corps to grow and which water to buy or more...

Exploring the complexity of complex (mega) projects

Owing to unexpected emerging behaviour, interdependencies among participating stakeholders and wider scope, today's projects are becoming more complex. Understanding the complex nat more...
