Funded Activity Summary

Innovations in Bayesian inference with applications to climate extremes. Climate extremes have immense impacts on Australia and society, affecting agriculture, water supply and management, bushfire control, utilities, power, insurance, the economy and many other sectors. This project will examine possible changes in the frequency and intensity of Australian extreme rainfall, droughts, flooding and tropical cyclones using innovative Bayesian statistical methods. The project will provide valuable training to Australian graduates in Bayesian computation and the statistical modelling of climate extremes. It will enhance Australia's reputation as a strong contributor to the development of Bayesian methodologies and climate research, and help foster collaborations between climate and mathematical scientists.
