Barry Croke

Senior Lecturer, Department of Mathematics and the Fenner School for Environment and Society, Australian National University

An international leader in the prediction of flow at ungauged sites, Dr Barry Croke is leading an NCGRT sub-program to test the integrated management of groundwater.

The aim is to reduce uncertainty at all stages of groundwater decision-making by examining key issues such as vulnerability, risk, sensitivity and uncertainty.

With a broad background in modelling environmental systems, Dr Croke is highly qualified for the task. His research interests are mainly focused on developing models for prediction of streamflow and water quality and applying them to manage water resources.

His expertise includes estimation of surface energy budgets and evaporation rates, modelling water quantity and quality, and examining surface water and groundwater interactions.

Dr Croke is the co-founder of the Top-Down Modelling Working Group, an international group of hydrologists actively engaged in the Prediction in Ungauged Basins.
