Dr Robert Argent
AWRIS Project
Bureau of Meteorology, Australia

Dr Argent has over twenty years international experience in water and natural resources research, teaching, design, consulting and project management. Over the period from 1990 to 2007 he worked at The University of Melbourne, focussing on environmental model development and integration. His research interpreted and delivered environmental research findings into forms that met the needs of managers and decision makers.  In early 2008 Robert moved to the Bureau of Meteorology to lead development of the Australian Water Resources Information System (AWRIS).  This world-first system will offer end-to-end coverage of Australia's key water data. It will span from ingestion of data from across the country, through data checking and augmentation, extensive analysis and reporting, and delivery of data and information to end users.
