Adrian Werner

Senior Lecturer in Groundwater Hydrogeology, School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences, Flinders University

With his extensive background in groundwater hydrology research, Associate Professor Adrian Werner has been appointed chief investigator for two important NCGRT sub-programs.

Drawing on his experience in coastal groundwater investigations, he will lead projects involving complex coastal systems and their modelling.

Associate Professor Werner has considerable expertise in the development of field monitoring campaigns, investigations into coastal processes and the development of complex models.

His work includes leading regional-scale groundwater models in Queensland and most recently the Southern Eyre Peninsula hydrogeology project in South Australia.

Associate Professor Werner’s background in modelling complex systems includes research into groundwater and soil hydrology, and seawater intrusion. He has a specific interest in process averaging and up-scaling, and the challenges of developing meaningful models of regional-scale systems.

An associate editor of the prestigious Journal of Hydrology, Associate Professor Werner’s research is recognised internationally. He is a member of the eWater CRC, representing the Queensland Government in the sub-program on surface water-groundwater interaction.
