Baihua Fu

Dr Baihua Fu is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University. Her research focuses on developing and improving environmental models for decision-making in water quality management, uncertainty assessment, ecological modeling, and integrated systems analysis. She has contributed to over 40 publications and led/co-led 9 projects between 2010–2032, including strategic partnerships like the One Basin CRC Tier 1 Agreement (2022–2032).

Her work emphasizes catchment-scale modeling, particularly in Australia, addressing challenges like groundwater management, socio-environmental systems modeling, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Projects include strategic foresight for Queensland water resources (2020–2022), uncertainty analysis in water quality models (2019–2021), and improving model constituent frameworks (2017–2020).

Research interests include uncertainty quantification, decision-relevant modeling frameworks, and scenario analysis for complex socio-environmental systems. She has explored innovative approaches like factor-fixing frameworks, bricolage-style scenario analysis, and formative evaluation methods for interdisciplinary teams.

Key contributions span model validation, stakeholder engagement strategies, and bridging gaps between technical modeling and policy implementation. Her work bridges environmental science with practical management solutions, emphasizing usability, reliability, and feasibility in model design.
