Three new CRC Technical Seminars on video
August 16, 2000
Three new videos are now available from the CRC. The presentations were delivered as part of our Technical Seminar Series in Canberra earlier this year.
New CRC Technical Seminar Videos
CRC Video 00/2
Water Balance and Growth Performance of a Break of Slope Agroforestry System
Dr David McJannet
CRC for Catchment Hydrology
Monash University
March 2000
This seminar focuses on the results of hydrologic research carried out in a break-of-slope plantation in north-east Victoria. New plantation establishment, design, and management principles based on field measurements and modelling exercises are proposed.
CRC Video 00/3
How to get Perennial Vegetation Back into Agricultural Landscapes
Dr Richard Stirzaker
Project Leader
CSIRO Land and Water
April 2000
This seminar describes how to introduce woody perennial vegetation into agricultural landscapes to manage waterlogging and salinity. The framework involves understanding the catchment type, estimating the discharge capacity of the catchment, estimating the current recharge and setting a new recharge target.
CRC Video 00/4
An Introduction to the Tarsier Modelling Framework or Do Landscape Models Dream Of Virtual Cows?
Dr Fred Watson
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
California State University Monterey Bay
May 2000
The demand for integrated computer models of environmental systems has pushed traditional scientific software development practices into near obsolescence. A number of new approaches to the development of models have arisen, which aim to make life easier and better for both developers and users. Tarsier is one such approach and is considered as one example of how the CRC for Catchment Hydrology's new "Modelling Toolkit" may emerge.
