All the projects we are working on are listed below.
iCASP projects address a pressing catchment management need by using existing environmental science. They are developed to:
- Translate existing data, models, knowledge and/or expertise into tools, solutions and approaches;
- Embed new knowledge in catchment management organisations through people exchange;
- Advance academic outputs into commercially viable products or services.
