DARE Chief Investigator Presentation by A/Prof Fiona Johnson
DARE Symposium February 2024

Abstract:
Climate change is expected to adversely impact human and natural water systems. In this presentation I will summarise some of our recent research that aims to improve our understanding of these changes using a mix of data-driven and process-based approaches. In our work we leverage the opportunities provided by globally available remotely sensed data as well as in situ data sources to applications such as future streamflow, waterbody health and harmful algal blooms.

A/Prof Fiona Johnson:
Associate Professor Fiona Johnson is the Director of the Water Research Centre at UNSW and is an academic in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She has over 20 years’ experience in hydrology working as a consultant, for government and in academia.

Fiona’s areas of research and teaching focus on statistical hydrology, particularly with respect to flooding and extreme events and the use of global climate models for climate change assessments of water resources systems. She has a particular interest in solutions to climate and hydrological challenges faced by communities in the Global South.
