Tracing ancient groundwater to discover copper
An update on the 'Go with the flow' project — an ARC Industry Research Fellowship with BHP that combines continent-scale groundwater modelling with copper exploration to find new …
Continent-scale groundwater models
“We present a continent-scale groundwater flow model for eastern Australia that eliminates the need for prescribed side boundary conditions by simulating the entire basin system. …
Unravelling the origins of volcanism along Eastern Australia and the Tasman Sea
Mantle plumes are buoyant upwellings rising from the Earth’s core-mantle boundary to its surface, generating hotspot chains that track the direction of plate motion. Eastern …
Continent-scale groundwater models: constraining flow pathways across eastern Australia
Numerical models of groundwater flow play a critical role for water management scenarios under climate extremes. Large‑scale models play a key role in determining long range flow …
GA showcase
“We present a numerical model of groundwater flow within the Great Artesian Basin, developed in collaboration with Geoscience Australia using the Underworld parallel computing …
Constraining the response of continental-scale groundwater flow to climate change
A scalable numerical framework for continental groundwater flow modelling, constrained by hydraulic head, recharge, and borehole temperature data using Bayesian inversion.
Constraining the response of continental-scale groundwater flow to climate extremes
Numerical models of groundwater flow play a critical role for water management scenarios under climate extremes. Large-scale models play a key role in determining long range flow …
Bayesian inversion of 3D groundwater flow within the Sydney-Gunnedah-Bowen Basin (keynote)
In the driest inhabited continent on Earth, aquifers of the Sydney-Gunnedah-Bowen Basin are essential for Australian agriculture production, yet they experience progressively …
