The DYMEX and CLIMEX software suite is a unique model-building tool developed to assist biologists to carry out risk assessments and management of invasive species in agricultural and natural systems.
CSIRO Entomology plays a major role in protecting Australia’s agriculture and natural environments, and the development of DYMEX-CLIMEX risk assessment software will further assist in biosecurity, insect pest, disease and weed management, and protection of natural systems from invasive species.
“This software was a very complex research tool developed by scientists for scientists. The partnership between Hearne and CSIRO has turned it into a much more user-friendly and well-supported application that is getting much wider use. It's great to see it recognised by the iAwards and APICTA schemes”. - Dr Mark Lonsdale, Deputy Chief of CSIRO Entomology.
The software has been received with much enthusiasm by universities, government agencies and contractors and has attracted sales all over the world including the US, South Africa, India, Germany, Malaysia, France, Uruguay, Turkey, China, Spain, Japan, Ireland, Holland, New Zealand, Canada, UK and others.
“DYMEX helps us in preparing our pest models and deciding control actions. The GIS component helps us even more for decision making”. - Yusof Othman, Malaysian Department of Agriculture.
Hearne Scientific Software is currently developing CLIMEX and DYMEX version 3 and these editions are expected to be released in Q3 2006. Hearne has contracted scientists from the CSIRO to further develop the software's scientific functionality and usability.
