Sébastein Lamontage

Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO Land and Water

Over the past decade Dr Sébastien Lamontagne has been involved in several large collaborative research projects involving groundwater and surface water interactions.

He was the leader for the groundwater component of the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study and was one of the leaders of a national initiative to investigate the impacts of climate change and environmental flows on the Murray-Darling Estuary.

His recent research achievements include the development of a new method using radon to measure hyporheic exchange in streams. He was also involved in understanding the links between wetland salinisation and the development of inland acid sulfate soils in the Murray-Darling Basin.

The current focus of Dr Lamontagne’s work is on the use of environmental tracers to study groundwater and surface water interactions and the impact that these processes have on wetlands and other surface water ecosystems.

He is a project leader within NCGRT’s program on Surface Water-Groundwater Interactions and will use his expertise to examine processes in streams, rivers, lakes and coastal zones.
