Dr. Ian Cartwright

Supervisor/s: Ian Cartwright
Field of study:Hydrogeology
Support Offered: NGCRT Scholarship of $5,000; Field and analytical costs
Collaborating Organisation: National Centre for Groundwater Research & Training
Preferred Program: Honours or MSc (2 projects possible)

These projects will examine groundwater-surface water interaction in Gippsland using a combination of physical and geochemical data. Sites may include either river or lake systems. The projects will involve integration of geochemistry (including major ions, stable isotopes, and/or radiogenic isotopes) with physical data to estimate water balances and the origins of export of solutes. The outcomes of the projects will be a better understanding of groundwater-surface water interaction in the region and prediction of changes to groundwater-surface water interaction with changes to climate and /or land use. Projects will involve fieldwork with seasonal sampling and will require students to help each other with field sampling on adjacent sites. Students must be able to drive University Vehicles.

These projects will examine river-surface water interaction in Victoria using a combination of newly acquired and existing geochemical data. The projects will involve integration of geochemistry (including major ions, stable isotopes, and/or radiogenic isotopes) with physical data to estimate recharge of groundwater to rivers and/or leakage of river systems to groundwater. The outcomes of the projects will be a better understanding of groundwater-river interaction and prediction of the impact of changes to climate and /or land use. Projects may be field based, in which case students must be able to drive University Vehicles. Non-field based projects are also possible.
