Biography

Mark Thyer is an Associate Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Adelaide. He has over 17 years research experience in developing physical-statistical models to enhance predictions for hydrological, environmental and water resource models. His research interests include flood/drought risk assessment; long-term climate variability, quantifying predictive uncertainty in hydrological models and behavourial water use modelling for integrated urban water management.

Research Interest

Climate variability and rainfall/streamflow simulation for flood/drought risk assessment Incorporating climate processes into stochastic models to enhance drought risk assessment. Bayesian approaches to assess predictive uncertainty Incorporating spatial-temporal rainfall variability to enhance flood risk assessment Streamflow simulation using hydrological models Quantifying impact of data/model uncertainty on the hydrological model predictive uncertainty using Bayesian Total Error Analysis (BATEA) Using innovate diagnostics/auxiliary data to evaluate hydrological models Behavioural water use simulation for Integrated Urban Water Management Development of approaches for modelling household water use that capture the temporal and spatial behavioural dynamics.
