- Thesis title
- Modelling and Assessment of Water Erosion from Catchments at Post-mining sites in Queensland
- Thesis description
-
The main aim of this thesis is to develop a user friendly catchment based erosion model that can be used to
- predict and manage the impact of on-site and off-site discharges from storm events on the receiving environment
- identify the high-risk areas on the landscape
- design improved post-mining landscapes that minimize these discharges
