Martin Andersen

Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Engineering, University of New South Wales

Dr Martin Andersen brings high-level research experience to the NCGRT, particularly in the area of groundwater quality problems and applied hydro-geochemistry.

He has broad experience in field methods related to groundwater hydrology, connected waters, geophysics, modelling and applied hydrology investigation technologies.

Dr Andersen has worked extensively in Europe, including several EU research projects at the Technical University of Denmark involving the natural baseline quality in European aquifers and the impact of nutrient contaminated groundwater on coastal areas.

Several years teaching in groundwater geochemistry at the Technical University of Denmark has given Dr Andersen extensive knowledge of most aspects of the state of the art code for hydro-geochemical modelling.

His current research work is interdisciplinary in scope in the areas of aqueous geochemistry, modelling of reactive solute transport processes in aquifers, surface water interactions and problems related to the quantity and quality of groundwater resources.

For NCGRT he will be Chief Investigator on sub-programs involving heat as a groundwater tracer, the integration of hydrochemical and hydrogeological methods for analysing regional groundwater flow, and groundwater recharge from losing streams.
