Biography/ Background
PhD (2012) Geophysics, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia. Thesis title: Investigations of electromagnetic methods applied to the in-river and near-river environment along the Murray River, Australia.
MSc (1991) Geosciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA. Thesis title: The Use of Global Positioning System to Measure Ground Subsidence in the Tucson Area, Southern Arizona.
BA (1983) Geosciences and Economics, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Research Interests
Fast-sampling TEM techniques as a rapid, accurate way of increasing data density in river environments, providing information on river sediment salt load. This information informs catchment managers directly about saline hotspots, and importantly, geological variation that can influence the discharge of saline ground water into the river. -
