Modelling Overview

Environmental Modelling

The following environmental modelling inputs are common across all ecological models, providing the foundation for environmental forcings that inform ecological responses on the Great Barrier Reef.

  • eReefs suite: Modelling environmental drivers and pressures on Tthe Great Barrier Reef.

  • RECOM: Modelling environmental drivers and pressures on the Great Barrier Reef at higher resolutions.

  • OceanParcels: Modelling particle movement at reef cluster scale to calculate coral larval connectivity.

  • SWAN: Modelling wave dynamics to inform coral wave stress estimates.

  • Global Climate Models: Sea Surface Temperature Projections from the sixth phase of climate models (CMIP6) to forecast possible trajectories of the Great Barrier Reef under different climate scenarios.

Ecological Modelling

The following models make up the ecological component of the M&DS modelling suite. Our models provide reef cluster and regional spatial scale dynamic representations of the Great Barrier Reef to help inform decision support processes and systems.

  • ADRIAmod: Modelling of coral dynamics at regional and reef cluster spatial scale for scenario exploration.

  • CoCoNet: Modelling of coral metapopulations at a regional spatial scale.

  • C~scape: Modelling of coral dynamics at a reef-cluster and reef site spatial scale​.

  • ReefMod: Modelling of coral metapopulations at a regional spatial scale.
