Project 3.7.7 Year 1 - Conceptual and statistical framework for the water quality component of the Integrated Report Card

Project Leader:  Dr Andy Steven, CSIRO Land and Water 

Project 3.7.7 objectives in year 1 where to:

  • Summarise current approaches to condition reporting and implications for the Integrated Report Card framework;

  • Outline appropriate regionalisation approaches and implementation for a trial catchment;

  • Test inclusion of mature indicators of ecosystem health and thresholds of concern and recommend a process for trialling developmental indicators;

  • Synthesis report summarising a recommended framework for Integrated Report Card development;

  • In 2007-2010, develop techniques required for data fusion and ontologies in the context of an Integrated Report Card with diverse data types and scales; and

  • In 2007-2010 develop prototype report cards notionally on Water Quality, health of the Great Barrier Reef, Rainforest and Torres Strait.  The number and timing of prototypes is to be determined following delivery of 2006-2007 milestones.

Project 3.7.7 CSIRO Browne, M. et al (2007) Review of existing approaches used to develop integrated report card frameworks (IRCF) and their relevance to catchments draining to the Great Barrier Reef
Report by Matthew Browne et al., CSIRO. A key deliverable of the MTSRF program is the development of an integrated report card framework for reporting on condition and trends in catchment and marine health of the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait regions. This report provides a review of relevant report card approaches; raises awareness as to some of the issues and requirements for developing a report card for the Great Barrier Reef region; provides some principles and an approach on how to proceed with developing a report card for the GBR region; and outlines CSIRO's research plan for the completion of the first year (2006/2007) contract for Project 3.7.7.
