My PhD thesis focused on using environmental tracer data to quantify long-term groundwater recharge in transient environments. During my doctorate I applied novel groundwater age interpretation methods to data gathered from the Pilbara region of north Western Australia. Through collaboration with various mine companies, the work will ultimately be used to inform more sustainable groundwater management practices in the Pilbara.

I am currently part of a team investigating the influence of faults as barriers and conduits to groundwater flow, and how to better incorporate complex geologies into groundwater models. The findings will be used to inform the Perth regional groundwater model, which is a tool in determining groundwater usage throughout the city of Perth.
