Stable water isotopic simulation and analysis to improve Earth System models and deliver better predictions of Australian water resource vulnerability

由于澳大利亚在环境可持续性方面面临的挑战可与地球上任何地方的挑战相媲美，我们必须聪明地诊断敏感性，并在提出补救措施时具有洞察力。气候变化和多变性对人和社会都有影响，无论其原因是什么，都必须加以有效管理。对澳大利亚来说，重要的是饮用水和农业用水的可获得性。新的地球系统科学跨学科ARC网络为新的和协同的研究提供了模型，例如作为提高预测技能和信心的工具的天然水同位素。我们利用这些资源，并利用国际项目来改善澳大利亚对区域水文气候和水资源的了解。

As Australia's challenges in environmental sustainability rival those anywhere on Earth, we must be clever in our diagnosis of susceptibility and insightful in proposed remedies. Climate change and variability have impacts on people and society that must be managed effectively whatever their causes. Of importance to Australia is the availability of water for drinking and agriculture. The new, interdisciplinary ARC network for Earth System Science provides models for novel and synergistic research such as naturally occurring water isotopes as a tool for improving predictive skill and confidence. We exploit these and leverage international programs to improve regional hydro-climate and water resource understanding in Australia.
