Dmitri Kavetski

Dmitri is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Adelaide. His research work focuses on hydrological modelling, where he has contributed a range of new techniques for model development, calibration and prediction. A particular emphasis has been on understanding, quantifying, and where possible reducing, the sources of uncertainty in streamflow predictions at the catchment scale. The methods developed by Dmitri and colleagues have been operationalised by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for seasonal streamflow forecasting. Dmitri's broader research interests include probabilistic methods, numerical modelling and optimization. Dmitri also delivers regular short courses and workshops on hydrological modelling to Australian and international audiences.

Weierbach catchment in Luxembourg

Scientific studies and mathematical models are increasingly used to guide the management and development of society. But while science and modelling can indeed provide a robust basis for decision making, we must be mindful of two related considerations. First, science is based not on trust but on skepticism, meticulous technique and careful verification. Second, science is not made of absolute tru ...[Read More]
