Infrastructure & Decision Tools
AED: Aquatic EcoDynamics
The AED research group studies the functional interrelations between hydrology, biogeochemistry, and biota to predict the response of inland and coastal waters to local and global pressures.
The General Lake Model (GLM) is developed as a freely available open-access tool to improve our knowledge of how changes in land-use, climate and management actions will affect our freshwater resources and lake ecosystems.
WaterSmart Dams
The WET-tool simulates how dams will perform under different farm management, geographic, and climatic scenarios providing dam water intelligence to boost farm resilience under dry and changing climates.
ICoAST: Integrated Coastal Analyses and Sensing Technology
ICoAST will develop and apply a suite of tools and methods to improve monitoring and current understanding of ecological and physical processes in north-west WA including Gutharraguda, and the Gascoyne and Perth regions.
LEAP: Land and Ecosystem Atmosphere Program
The Boyagin flux station is located approximately 12km west of Pingelly, near Perth, Western Australia. It was established in September 2017 and is managed by The University of Western Australia.
Remotely Piloted Aerial Sensing Platform
UWA's Remote Aerial Sensing Platform provides operational infrastructure, expertise, support and advice for drone and environmental sensing. The facility provides the capacity for research collaboration, brings expertise and licencing to a UWA research group, and makes drones, sensors and other equipment available for other external projects.
OzCZO: The Australian CZO network
Australian Government funding is enabling research into Australia’s critical zone—Earth’s outer skin, from treetop to bedrock, where water, atmosphere, ecosystems, soil and rock interact—to better understand and manage the availability of its life-sustaining resources.
