It is intended primarily as a summary reference of key information for use by those who are preparing public information and interpretation for the world heritage area. It is not intended to be fully comprehensive and anyone requiring detailed information on any topic is encouraged to refer to the list of selected references and additional material not listed. It is also recommended that all facts quoted here are checked from primary sources. A major source for this document was the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area Nomination (see reference list), which is a very useful compendium of information but of limited availability. All other key sources used in compiling this summary are listed in the references, along with some other useful documents which were not consulted. Some items of information contained here (eg. total area of wilderness and comparisons with other east coast wilderness areas) have been derived from original research for this project.

  • A Case Study of the Kowmung River at Cedar Ford, Australia

Improving forecasts of streamflow based on erratic precipitation is a significant activity nowadays. In recent years, the techniques of data-driven have been widely Keywords: used in the hydrological parameter’s prediction especially streamflow. In the current research, streamflow prediction, artificial a deep learning model namely Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and two conventional intelligence, deep learning, machine machine learning models namely, Random Forest (RF), and Tree Boost (TB) were used to learning, LSTM, random forest, tree boost predict the streamflow of the Kowmung river at Cedar Ford in Australia. Different scenarios proposed to determine the optimal combination of input predictor variables, and the input predictor variables were selected based on the auto-correlation function (ACF). Model output was evaluated using indices of the root mean square error (RMSE), and the Nash and Sutcliffe coefficient (NSE). The findings showed that the LSTM model outperformed RF and TB in predicting the streamflow with RMSE and NSE equal to 102.411, and 0.911 respectively.

  • Holocene Records of the Indian Ocean Dipole Abram, NJ
    Holocene records of the Indian Ocean Dipole Abram, N.J.1, Gagan M.K., McCulloch M.T., Chappell J., Hantoro W.S. 1. Research School of Earth Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0220, Australia. The Indian Ocean Dipole is a recently discovered mode of inter-annual climate variability which occurs in the tropical Indian Ocean. The dipole results in anomalous winds, sea surface temperatures and rainfall throughout the Indian Ocean region, bringing drought to Indonesia and Northern Australia as well as floods to eastern Africa. During 1997 the strongest dipole in recorded history occurred in the Indian Ocean and was accompanied by massive fires in western Indonesia and the widespread death of coral reefs in the Indian Ocean. Developing a better understanding of the natural dynamics and effects of the Indian Ocean Dipole is essential for improved long-ranged forecasts of droughts and floods in the Indian Ocean region, as well as accurate predictions of future climate change world-wide. Sea surface temperature changes in the Mentawai Islands, south-west Sumatra, Indonesia play a key role in driving the Indian Ocean Dipole. In this study we present the proxy environmental signals preserved in the stable isotope and trace element chemistry of modern and Holocene Porites coral records from this region can be used to reliably reconstruct recent dipole events. Dipole events are also preserved in the fossil coral records from the Mentawai Islands and provide the first evidence that the Indian Ocean Dipole has been operational for at least the past 6000 years. These results have important implications for the relationship between the Indian Ocean Dipole and El Niño-Southern Oscillation and provide insights into the tolerances of coral reefs to both natural and anthropogenic environmental perturbations.

  • Mid Coxs River Subcatchment
    Mid Coxs River Mid Coxs Appendix 4.2 Appendix Subcatchment summaries Subcatchment Mid Coxs River Subcatchment River Mid Coxs The Mid Coxs River subcatchment is located in the far-west section of the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment. It is characterised by narrow granite valleys and contains the World Heritage listed Jenolan Caves Karst Conservation Reserve. The subcatchment has signifi cant areas in reserved land in its lower reaches in the Kanagra Boyd National Park, part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The subcatchment is highly valued for its recreational values by local and regional communities. Flows in the Mid Coxs River are impacted by impoundment at Lake Lyell. In the upper area of the subcatchment, there is signifi cant rural development, and pine plantations in the tributary headwaters both of which have altered the vegetation of this subcatchment. The impacts of these activities need to be well managed to prevent degradation of the near intact reaches downstream. There is a major Landcare association, the Lithgow Oberon Landcare Association, and numerous Landcare groups working in the subcatchment, as well as weed control and mapping programs undertaken by the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
