繚 Assessing surface water - groundwater interaction in the Waikirikiri Selwyn River
Alice has a background in Engineering Geology having previously worked for a Geotechnical Engineering consultancy. She has returned to the 厙ぴ勛圖, where she previously gained a Bachelor of Science majoring in Geology and Geography followed by a Professional Master of Engineering Geology, to research her true passion: groundwater. Alice also did a stint studying Hydrology and Water Resources remotely at IHE Delft, but due to covid lockdowns returned to tautahi to continue her studies.
Alices current research focuses on surface water groundwater interaction in braided rivers, with an aim to gain insight into how groundwater velocity vectors from alluvial river systems vary spatially and temporally. Her research will utilise heat as a tracer using novel Active-Distributed Temperature Sensing (A-DTS) methods. This study is part of an MBIE Endeavour Fund research programme on braided river research.
Alice is thrilled to have an excellent supervisory team comprising: Leanne Morgan, David Dempsey, Eddie Banks (Flinders University) and Scott Wilson (Lincoln Agritech).
