RISER: resilient information systems for emergency response. This project will help to provide emergency managers, responders, and the general public in Australia with access to more timely and relevant information during an emergency. The project will improve the resilience of emergency information systems to the unplanned component failures and uncertain data sources that arise during a disaster.
Integrating satellite observations into environmental accounts. Accounting for biomass, water and ecosystem helps to manage and protect Australia's natural capital. Existing data provide only limited information, but this project will build on recent advances in satellite observation and model-data fusion technology to produce national accounts with unprecedented detail, for each year since 1990.
From environmental monitoring to management: extracting knowledge about environmental events from sensor data. New, high-detail sources of environmental sensor data are useless without new methods for identifying patterns and extracting knowledge from that data. This project will develop improved techniques for interacting with environmental sensor data to assist environmental scientists and manager in understand the important events that are occurring.
