Modelling

ARROWSMITH, Colin - Associate Professor — by Jodi-Anne M Smith — last modified 07-May-2008 19:56

Colin specialises in the use of GIS mapping techniques for behaviour modelling of the climate change impacts on various issues. He is working with the Committee for Melbourne investigating the impacts of climate change on Melbourne. He has also looked at the impact of climate change on tourism for different areas. He has p/grad students doing risk modelling from sea level change. His group aims to apply their expertise in smart and sophisticated ways to conserve the environment, support the sustainable use of key natural resources, build capacity and resilience in society, and identify credible policy options for future development.

Numerical methods in prediction modelling advanced structural modelling and analysis, computational mechanics. Decision support in sustainable civil infrastructure development and management. Saman is also involved in the Eco Home Project about sustainable housing.

HANDMER, John - Professor — by Jodi-Anne M Smith — last modified 07-May-2008 19:56

John is involved with the Centre for Risk & Community Safety which looks at emergency management planning, preparation, communication, and response. He is also involved with the Land Centre which includes a team of specialists in land administration, natural resource management, sustainable development, risk and community safety, cadastral surveying, land use planning, land valuation, natural resource modelling, remote sensing and geospatial science.

SCHREIDER, Sergei - Dr. — by Jodi-Anne M Smith — last modified 07-May-2008 19:56

Sergei specialises in "Catchment scale biophysical modelling for climate change impact assessment". He completed his PhD in climate change impact assessment and has supervised PhD students on climate change related topics. His research focuses on water allocation modelling in irrigated regions and water quality management. The models can be used to assess impacts to the areas modelled under different climate change scenarios.
