Senior Research Fellow (NCGRT)
College of Science and Engineering
Eddie has worked across the private sector, state government and academia over the past 17 years as a hydrogeologist. His research interests involve investigating interactions between surface water and groundwater, intermittent rivers, ecohydrology, coastal hydrogeology and groundwater flow processes in fractured rock aquifer systems. His expertise include advanced surface water and groundwater sampling techniques, environmental tracers, heat as a tracer, hydrogeophysics and numerical modelling.
He is passionate about applying sound scientific methodologies and analytical research methods to support natural resource managers, landholders and the community to advance sustainable water resource management. As well as exploring new and novel techniques to understand and investigate the complex hydrological cycle and exchanges with the other Earth's Spheres.
