I just published Version 1.6. The main update is that the source data for CAMELS-AUS was upgraded to CAMELS-AUS v2. This means more basins (561 vs 222) and more recent streamflow data (2022 vs 2014).

All relevant links in thread 🧵

Many congratulations to Bailey Anderson on a successful PhD defence! Sincere thanks to external examiner Ross Woods, internal Linda Speight, & co-supervisor @simondadson.bsky.social. Bailey's thesis focused on large-sample approaches to assess streamflow sensitivity to climate and land cover change.

How many independent climate models are there? (How) can we reliably estimate uncertainty in future predictions and projections of climate? Which models to select for downscaling or impact studies?
