The Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in December was well attended by CWI staff.
The team included Prof Andy Baker, A/Prof Bryce Kelly, Dr Martin Andersen, Dr Mark Cuthbert, Dr Hamid Roshan, Dr Hoori Ajami, Dr Alessandro Comunian, Dr Sanjeev Jha, Dr Cath Jex, Dr Helen Rutlidge, Mr Landon Halloran, and Mr Kashif Muhmud. The CWI team presented results from their research, funded by the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training, the European Union Mare Curie Actions, the Groundwater Education Investment Fund and Australian Research Council Discovery Projects.
Fifteen presentations featuring CWI staff are listed below. AGU members can view ‘EPOSTERS’, and abstracts are available as open access. Both can be downloaded from the AGU Fall Meeting website.

Professor Andy Baker features in American Water Resources Association ‘Water Resources Impact’, September 2020 edition.
The Connected Waters Initiative (CWI) is pleased to welcome Taylor Coyne to its network as a postgraduate researcher. If you’re engaged in research at a postgraduate level, and you’re interested in joining the CWI network, get in touch! The CWI network includes multidisciplinary researchers across the Schools of Engineering, Sciences, Humanities and Languages and Law.
The Grand Challenge on Rapid Urbanisation will establish Think Deep Australia, led by Dr Marilu Melo Zurita, to explore how we can use our urban underground spaces for community benefit.
On the 21 August 2020, CWI researchers made a submission to the National Water Reform Inquiry, identifying priority areas and making a number of recommendations as to how to achieve a sustainable groundwater future for Australia.
Results published from a research project between the Land Development Department (LDD) Thailand and UNSW has demonstrated how 2-dimensional mapping can be used to understand soil salinity adjacent to a earthen canal in north east Thailand (Khongnawang et al. 2020).
