Personal profile
Research interests
I have a broad range of interests relating to groundwater. These include groundwater and its availability, groundwater-fed springs and rivers, the use of isotopes, coastal hydrogeology, numerical modelling and heat as groundwater tracers. I have produced a number of computer software packages to help apply a range of new techniques and approaches.
