Climate and land use change act synergistically to affect scarce water resources, already under enormous pressure in Australia. This cross-disciplinary project aims to quantify the climate-driven variability and impact of climate and land use change on surface water dynamics and connectivity. This research will take a holistic approach integrating remote sensing and climate data, land use science, graph theory and spatial statistics. Findings will, for the first time, assess the impact of multiple drivers of change (climate, land use) on scarce water resources by integrating empirical observations on surface water variability with global climate model projections and land use scenarios.

气候和土地利用变化协同作用，影响稀缺的水资源，澳大利亚已经面临巨大的压力。这一跨学科项目旨在量化气候驱动的变异性以及气候和土地利用变化对地表水动态和连通性的影响。这项研究将采取综合方法，将遥感和气候数据、土地利用科学、图论和空间统计学结合起来。研究结果将首次评估多种变化驱动因素（气候、土地利用）对稀缺水资源的影响，方法是将地表水变化的经验观察与全球气候模型预测和土地利用情景相结合。
