A Basic Study of Mixing and Dispersion in Riverine and Estuarine Systems in South-East Queensland

物质在天然河流系统中的扩散具有相当重要的意义，特别是与雨水径流和废水排放导致的营养物质、沉积物和毒物向生态系统的输送有关。该项目旨在提高我们对热带和亚热带河流和河口混合和扩散过程的基本了解，并开发改进的预测模型，以帮助管理自然生态系统。这将通过一个结合基础水工程和环境科学的博士研究项目来实现。

Dispersion of matter in natural river systems is of considerable importance, particularly in relation to the transport of nutrients, sediment and toxicants into ecosystems as a result of stormwater runoff and wastewater discharges. The project aims to improve our basic understanding of mixing and dispersion processes in tropical and subtropical rivers and estuaries, and to develop improved predictive models to assist with the management of natural ecosystems. This will be achieved through a Ph.D. research project integrating basic water engineering and environmental sciences.
