Currently, there is little to no flash flood forecasting available in Tasmania, which leads to poor situational awareness when extreme weather occurs across the state. Kim Robinson’s research will lead to significant improvements in flash flooding forecast capability in Tasmania.
Kim has worked in the consulting industry with a focus on short-term flood forecasting for local, national and international clients. Through his work in developing flood forecasting system for clients such as Hydro Tasmania and TasWater, Kim has developed a thorough understanding of the current industry standards, areas of ongoing research and existing knowledge gaps. He is passionate about furthering flood forecasting techniques in Australia, which he aims to explore in his project.
