This is the data and models repository for the Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project LP150100451, Balancing estuarine and societal health in a changing environment.
The aim of this study was to produce an integrated decision support framework for helping optimise trade-offs between regional catchment development drivers (‘economic resilience’) and the heath of the receiving estuarine waterways (‘environmental and ecological resilience’), both now and under 2050 development and climate scenarios.
This study was undertaken within the Peel-Harvey catchment-estuary system in south-western Australia from 2016-2019.
Contained within this repository are the data and model files that supported the Linkage Project, catalogued as follows:
- Data: Contains or describes data collected during the Project or provided by third parties in order to facilitate the Project.
- Models: Contains configuration and forcing files for the catchment and estuary models developed during the Project.
