点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Australia's natural resource management requires integrating information from many sources, including survey data and community and expert opinion. We aim to develop statistical methods to formally combine this information and apply them to better management of our crucial resource, water. The project contributes significantly to Australia's international obligations, and government agency and regional group science-based decision-making. Outcomes include increased fundamental knowledge in statistics, technology transfer and improved decision-making capacity for natural resource management. The project builds on strong existing collaborations between academic and industry partners and provides foundation for future funded projects.
