Abstract Expertise in research integration and implementation is an essential but often overlooked component of tackling complex societal environmental problems. We focus on expertise relevant to any problem, especially contributory expertise, divided into ‘knowing-that’ ‘knowing-how.’ also deal with interactional the fact that much tacit. explore three questions. First, examining ‘when required?,’ we review tasks (a) developing more comprehensive understandings problems, plus possible ways...
Abstract. A primary goal of Earth system modelling is to improve understanding the interactions and feedbacks between human decision making biophysical processes. The nexus land use cover change (LULCC) climate an important example. LULCC contributes global regional change, while affects functioning terrestrial ecosystems LULCC. However, at present, poorly represented in circulation models (GCMs). that are explicit about behaviour decision-making processes have been developed local scales,...
Understanding potential future influence of environmental, economic, and social drivers on land-use sustainability is critical for guiding strategic decisions that can help nations adapt to change, anticipate opportunities, cope with surprises. Using the Land-Use Trade-Offs (LUTO) model, we undertook a comprehensive, detailed, integrated, quantitative scenario analysis Australia's agricultural land from 2013–2050, under interacting global change domestic policies, considering key...
Abstract Supporting biodiversity conservation in an effective and sustainable way requires addressing loss while satisfying the dependency of people on nature. Critical to this goal is understand how benefits services delivered by ecosystems influence human values, these values can be leveraged promote equitable economic, social environmental outcomes. However, are challenging capture complex social‐ecological systems, particularly when not consistent among different groups stakeholders. We...
Abstract Coproduction is commonly used as an action‐oriented practice to collaboratively produce knowledge for different purposes, including supporting institutional change navigate uncertainty and complexity while enabling pathways sustainable futures. Futures thinking related tools are also conceive new possibilities or alternative futures increase collective understanding of processes. Yet, despite common themes change, uncertainty, transformation being strongly how we envision imagine...
In recent years there has been an increasing emphasis on including humans when modelling socio-environmental systems. However, it is crucial that we remain mindful of the impacts decisions made during model development or analysis can have people nature as not impartial process. Responsible requires us to consider broader societal implications our work, therefore, modellers should a range ethical concerns, often found beyond those prescribed through institutionally mandated approval...
Abstract Numerous methods have been developed to support the assessment of environmental flow requirements for rivers. Most are based around models hydrologic time series rather than ecological endpoints interest. Important limitations that arise from this include (1) an inability represent state dependency response future conditions (i.e. effects current ecosystem condition on condition), (2) predict states through under alternative regimes and (3) limited sensitivity compare differences...
Peepers are multichambered equilibrium dialyzers placed within sediments to collect porewater samples. We developed computer models study the equilibration dynamics of a vial peeper design. One model simulated concentration distributions and dynamic behavior solute cell itself, another peepers sediments. The first model, together with laboratory experiments, demonstrated that convection arising cells in saline would ensure rapid mixing contents cells. predictions made by second for four...
Although the Dublin principles of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) are well-established, third principle on gender is commonly missing in practice. We use mainstreaming to identify examples where gender-specific perspectives might influence water resource management modelling choices. show how considerations could lead different choices all phases, providing from three familiar components practice: (a) problem framing and conceptualisation, (b) model construction, documentation...
The relative importance of floodplain carbon inputs and in-stream metabolic processes have not been well quantified in major Australian rivers. We seasonal phytoplankton primary production net ecosystem during irrigation flow regimes at four sites each located ~100 km apart the middle Murrumbidgee River. During periods dominated by storage release, gross productivity, system respiration chlorophyll concentrations all increased downstream so that overall metabolism was strongly heterotrophic...
Although health, development, and environment challenges are interconnected, evidence remains fractured across sectors due to methodological conceptual differences in research practice. Aligned methods needed support Sustainable Development Goal advances similar agendas. The Bridge Collaborative, an emergent research-practice collaboration, presents principles recommendations that help harmonize for generation use. Recommendations were generated the context of designing evaluating impact...
In four focus group exercises involving both forecasting and backcasting approaches, we gave approximately 100 Australian citizens the opportunity to discuss likely, desirable feared futures 2050. The image they paint is coherent consistent. Education, governance, personal attitudes societal trends, rather than specific events, are drivers of a future which perceived as being largely shaped by human choices. Innovation believed be more necessary in novel social arrangements further...

Abstract. We draw on previous work examining historical trends, likely future water use and food availability in Pakistan extend the analysis to consider interactions with hydropower generation energy demand production due pumping of groundwater for irrigation. Business-as-usual scenarios suggest growing demands as population grows rapidly. However, is already unsustainable many areas, supply failing keep up demand. Quantifying material linkages between water, provides a means explore...
