Six members of the Connected Waters Initiative Research Centre team presented CWI groundwater isotope research at the 13th AEIC in Sydney on 8-10th July 2015.
Charlotte Iverach won the prize for best student presentation, entitled Detecting hydraulic connection between fresh water aquifers and coal seam gas production using the isotopes of carbon in methane.
Andy Baker delivered a plenary address on Caves: Observatories of Australia’s Groundwater Isotope History.
The other presentations were given by:
The presentations were co-authored by eight other members of the CWI team, as well as collaborators from ANSTO and the Universities of Lausanne, Royal Holloway University of London,Waikato, andFlindersUniversity.
