Environmental Modelling

HGEC has extensive skills in environmental modelling. Those skills include;

Landscape modelling. The team have GIS mapping skills to present landscape information. We prefer to use ArcGIS & QGIS.

Groundwater modelling. We use MODFLOW2005 & MODFLOWUSG to simulate spatial groundwater processes.

Land use modelling. To simulate the impact differing land uses  have on run-off and groundwater recharge specialised land use modelling methods have been developed.

Climate change modelling. The team have developed climate change modeling methods which use IPCC predictions to assess the impacts climate change may have on vegetation growth, runoff and groundwater recharge. This information has been used to inform catchment managers, industries and farmer groups across south eastern Australia.
