Water, water everywhere! Join the Tasmanian Division of EIANZ as they present the first of the water Wednesday webinars, which comes just after International Water Day on Saturday 22 March 2025.

Associate Professor Vernon-Kidd will walk us through how past records of hydroclimate variability recorded in tree-rings of watershed trees can help inform models of future water availability for water managers and users alike. Associate Professor Verdon-Kidd has expertise in integrating information from the palaeoclimate records, the instrumental records and Global Climate Models to better assess climate driven risks, with focus on hydrological extremes and how these may change in the future. In addition to traditional academic research, she also consults with water managers and users to assess their vulnerability to climate variability/change and their ability to adapt to climate driven risks. We hope you'll join us for this excellent talk that brings far-reaching research into narrow focus on Australian waters.

Associate Professor Danielle Verdon-Kidd | The University of Newcastle

Dr Danielle Verdon-Kidd is an Associate Professor in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences at the University of Newcastle. Her primary research focuses on identifying the drivers of climate variability and change in Australia and the Pacific and assessing how to use these insights to improve natural resource management.

Danielle has expertise in integrating information from the palaeoclimate records, the instrumental records and Global Climate Models to better assess climate driven risks, with focus on hydrological extremes and how these may change in the future. Danielle has published in the fields of drought research, hydrology, tropical cyclones/storms, stochastic climate generation, climate impact assessment and adaptation planning. In addition to traditional academic research, Danielle has carried out several projects, within the consulting environment, aimed at helping clients to assess their vulnerability to climate variability/change and their ability to adapt to climate driven risks.

This event will run off Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) and will run for 1 hour. The webinar will be recorded therefore attendees and a link to the webinar will be sent to all registered attendees in the days after the webinar.
