What are the effects of fire on water underground? Let’s think about what happens on the surface, and translate that to what is likely to happen to the subsurface.
The effects of tidal forces on groundwater might be less apparent to us than their effects on the ocean, but they’re just as important.
Dr Oliver Knox has brought together information from some of the industry’s researchers conducting work oncotton-producing soils.
Groundwater research at ANSTO has provided crucial information to support the management of finite groundwater resources appropriately and sustainably—answering questions about groundwater recharge, groundwater age and dynamics, the interaction between surface water and groundwater and salinisation.
Astonishing footage of a river in Queensland on fire has once again stoked the coal seam gas (CSG) debate.
Groundwater is the largest active freshwater resource on the planet.
As cave deposits grow, they lock into their minerals the chemical signatures of the environmental and climatic conditions of the time the rainwater fell at the surface.
Before we conducted our research, we simply didn’t know much about the deep groundwater system in Sydney Basin. With our new record, this means that if some future mining project impacts the groundwater, we can now use this pore water isotope records as a novel baseline to help determine the extent of the impact.
Recent research published in Scientific Reports has shown how cave formations preserve a history of past climate.
The National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) funded network of remote measurement devices and cameras has provided documentation of the January 2015 extreme rainfall event in unprecedented detail.
Groundwater levels and aquifer storage
There are two common mistakes often made when calculating how much groundwater storage levels have changed.
Quantifying vertical water flow using natural heat as tracer
What are the effects of fire on water underground? Let’s think about what happens on the surface, and translate that to what is likely to happen to the subsurface.
Squeezed by gravity: how tides affect the groundwater under our feet
Low cost way to explore groundwater resources could be game changer
UNSW Sydney water engineers have revealed that investigating and managing groundwater resources more sustainably can be achieved at lower cost by using existing Earth and atmospheric tidal data.
CWI Director addressed National Ground Water Monitoring issues in ABC News
