About
Dr Caroline Rosello is an interdisciplinary researcher specialising in integrated water management, climate adaptation, drought preparedness and environmental decision-making under uncertainty. She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the One Basin Cooperative Research Centre and an academic affiliate of the Fenner School of Environment & Society at the Australian National University.
Her research brings together future thinking, adaptive planning, participatory approaches and environmental modelling to support more robust and practical decision-making. She works collaboratively with research, government, industry, community and regional partners, with a particular focus on water and drought challenges across the Murray–Darling Basin.

Research interests
My research interests centre on how people and institutions can better anticipate, prepare for and make decisions under environmental change and uncertainty, particularly in water-resource planning and management.
I am interested in adaptive and anticipatory planning, drought preparedness and resilience, environmental governance, participatory and co-design approaches, and the capabilities needed to translate knowledge into decision-making and action. My research draws on scenario and pathway approaches, qualitative and quantitative methods, environmental modelling, spatial analysis, and collaborative research with decision-makers and communities.
I am particularly interested in connecting future thinking with practical decision processes: understanding how different forms of evidence and knowledge can be brought together, how options can be explored and tested under uncertainty, and how research can support learning and adaptation over time.
