\section*{Overview}

The ANUGA inundation modelling project is a collaborative effort between
 Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian National University
 (ANU). GA is largely responsible for the software development,
 applications to scenario and risk modelling projects as well as
 contributions to the Australian National Research Priorities.  
 ANU is mainly responsible for the mathematical and numerical modelling approach and the continued development of the model. 
 
 
 This
 document outlines the agreed priorities for the inundation modelling
 project predominantly seen from the GA perspective, but including the ANU where appropriate. Priorities are organised into three separate prioritised lists

\begin{enumerate}  
  \item Deliverables of specific case studies. These are typically tasks that are requested by GA's clients.
  \item Research topics that have emerged and would advance the understanding of the science of hydrodynamic inundation 
  \item Development and maintenance issues that are necessary for the continued health of the software itself. 
\end{enumerate} 

where the first is primarily resourced by Jane Sexton, Nick Bartzis, Trevor Dhu; the second by Stephen Roberts and the third primarily by Ole Nielsen and Duncan Gray. Significant overlaps are expected.

\section*{specific case studies}

The list in order of importance but subject to availability of data and URS or MOST input is

\begin{enumerate} 
  \item Onslow, WA. This study (to be completed FY 0506) mainly supports the FESA funded WA study, but has synergies with 
    projecs in other lists as well (Jane, Ole, Nick)
  \item Port Hedland. Also part of the WA project (completion FY 0506). (Jane, Nick)
  \item Wrap up Sydney (Benfield) project including refinements and damage modelling (preferably
completed FY 0506). 
    This project has synergies with the ANUGA Demo initiative (Everyone)
  \item SE Qld study
  \item Hobart 
  \item Other study areas may be identified when the national hazard map has been completed (expected
within the next 12 months) and consultation has occurred with stakeholders.
\end{enumerate}



\section*{Research topics.}

The list is

\begin{enumerate} 
  \item Sensitivity study using Onslow project (Jane, Ole)
  \item Probabilistic integration with URS model (Ole, Trevor)  
  \item Validation (Ole et al with David Burbidge \& Tom Baldock UQ)  
  \item Momentum sink study (Duncan)
  \item Effect of debris (?) 
  \item Automatic definition of mesh-resolution based on data values (Duncan) 
  \item Write ANUGA in term of latitudes and longitudes
  \item Coriolis effect
  \item Revive storm surge model
  \item Riverine flooding
  \item Solution uncertainty (interaction with Hugh Durrant-Whyte and Kumar from USyd)
  \item Scenario database (future); this could compliment the ATWS operational centre. (how often 
 would it need to be updated, i.e how long will the results remain valid? 
eg, effect of sediment transport affecting local bathymetry, change
in water depth due to climate change)
\end{enumerate}



\section*{Development and maintenance issues.}

The list is

\begin{enumerate} 
  \item Bug fixing (see tickets in TRAC) - ongoing (Duncan \& Ole)
  \item Integrated damage modelling (Nick?)
  \item Streamlined end-to-end process (Ole, Neil, Nick)
  \item Map2PDF (Neil)
  \item Easy interface to building regions of variable resolution (Duncan)
  \item Sydney demo (Jane, Duncan, Ole)
  \item Deploy parallel version (Ole, Nick)
  \item Userguide, technical documentation and installation process (Everyone)
  \item OSS License (Ole)
  \item Visualisation (Nick?)
\end{enumerate}


\section*{Other stuff.}

The list is

\begin{enumerate} 
  \item Coordinate FESA project (Jane)
  \item Coordinate ANUGA project (Ole)
  \item IM (Duncan)
  \item Coordinate something (Trevor)
\end{enumerate}
