Dr Gabriela Raducan

Gabriela’s project is investigating the impacts of land use types on river water quality during base flow and storm flow conditions for areas subjected to bushfires in Victoria. Her project is considering the analysis of the cumulative impacts of land use influence on the chemical, physical and biological properties of water and how these are affected by bushfire. It is also evaluating how the use of refined digital elevation models (based on LiDAR) affect water quality modelling and how land managers can model both point source and diffuse inputs using GIS.
