  • This report provides background information about the Ginninderra controlled release Experiment 2 including a description of the environmental and weather conditions during the experiment, the groundwater levels and a brief description of all the monitoring techniques that were trialled during the experiment. Release of CO2 began 26 October 2012 at 2:25 PM and stopped 21 December 2012 at 1:30 PM. The total CO2 release rate during Experiment 2 was 218 kg/d CO2. The aim of the second Ginninderra controlled release was to artificially simulate the leakage of CO2 along a line source, to represent leakage along a fault. Multiple methods and techniques were then trialled in order to assess their abilities to: - detect that a leak was present - pinpoint the location of the leak - identify the strength of the leak - monitor how the CO2 behaves in the sub-surface - assess the effects it may have on plant health Several monitoring and assessment techniques were trialled for their effectiveness to quantify and qualify the CO2 that was release. This experiment had a focus on plant health indicators to assess the aims listed above, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of monitoring plant health and the use of geophysical methods to identify that a CO2 leak may be present. The methods are described in this report and include: - soil gas - airborne hyperspectral surveys - plant health (PhenoMobile) - soil CO2 flux - electromagnetic (EM-31) - electromagnetic (EM-38) - ground penetrating radar (GPR) This report is a reference guide to describe the Ginninderra Experiment 2 details. Only methods are described in this report with the results of the study published in conference papers and future journal articles.

  • Hydrogeological assessment of the Maryborough Basin, submitted as an abstract for the 2013 IAH Congress.

  • This document describes the implementation of a case study on the influence of climate effects on the performance of a substandard urban stormwater system. It has involved the collaborative engagement of the City of Sydney which is presently undertaking flood risk assessments using best-practice modelling of stormwater system behaviour. It has further entailed development of building exposure information and additional improved flood vulnerability models for a range of structure types found in the study catchment area. Finally, it has brought together these three risk elements in an impact assessment framework to quantify the loss for a single future hazard scenario. While its initial focus has been on the impact assessment process, it has afforded the opportunity to explore the sensitivity of the flood loss predictions to floor height resolution and vulnerability attribution. It has further provided insights on the benefits of the progressive raising of ground floor heights for new building development and limiting the construction of some building types as a planning strategy for reducing future flood risk.
