Forests and Water
|
|
The Department of Forest and Ecosystem Science Forests and Water group currently comprises 11 scientists and research assistants and 10 post graduate students. Research in this area encompasses four themes:
- Forest water use and streamflow dynamics
- Post-fire hydrology in a changing environment
- Geomorphic processes in forest environments
- Forest disturbance, erosion processes and water quality
The research program is aimed at answering some of the key questions concerning the hydrologic and geomorphic response of native and planted forests to growth, disturbance by fire and forest operations, and climate drivers.
