The Centre for Water and Landscape Dynamics (WALD) sits within the Fenner School of Environment & Society, and combines satellite observations, field data and prediction models to measure, monitor and forecast natural hazards, natural resources and the environment. WALD's 20-odd members develop world-leading observation technology and real-time environmental information systems to manage bushfire risk, extreme weather, water resources, agriculture, forestry and natural ecosystems.

Current projects include the following -

• Improving spatial water information through data assimilation
• Australia’s Environment: routine, comprehensive national reporting
• The Australian Flammability Monitoring System
• Extreme rainfall warning through satellite remote sensing
• Automated burn mapping with Digital Earth Australia
• Remotely sensing flood dynamics in the northern Murray-Darling Basin
• Water license compliance monitoring from space
• Environmental modelling software: W3 and OzWALD
• Soil moisture forecasting at property level
• Satellite-based river gauging
• The Forest Spectroscope
• Phenomic and Environmental Sensor Array
