+Modelling the effects on the built environment of natural hazards such
+as riverine flooding, storm surges and tsunami is critical for
+understanding their economic and social impact on our urban
+communities.  Geoscience Australia and the Australian National
+University are developing a hydrodynamic inundation modelling tool
+called ANUGA to help simulate the impact of these hazards.
 
 
-The title of the paper, author names and affiliations should be
-put in as indicated in the sample abstract. Affiliations should be
-brief and consist of `Institution, City, Country'. The author who
-is to present the paper should be indicated by an asterisk. The
-superscripts that relate the author to the affiliation should be
-omitted in the case of a single author or multiple authors with
-the same affiliation. (Delete the dollar signs and included caret
-and number in the author list, and delete the number, but leave
-the braces, in the affiliation command.)
+The core of ANUGA is a Python implementation of a finite-volume method
+for solving the Shallow Water Wave equation.  This method allows the
+study area to be represented by an unstructured mesh with variable
+resolution to suit the particular problem.  Another important
+capability of ANUGA is that it can robustly model the process of wetting and
+drying as water enters and leaves an area. This means that it is
+suitable for simulating water flow onto a beach or dry land and around
+structures such as buildings.

+The talk outlines the model implementation, provides validation
+results, identifies remaining challenges and describes its role within
+the Australian Tsunami Warning System.
