Ross Brodie

Senior Hydrogeologist, Geoscience Australia

A hydrogeologist in Australian Government scientific agencies for nearly 20 years, Dr Ross Brodie has provided high-level technical advice on numerous groundwater issues.

His work includes scientific investigations of Murray-Darling Basin salinity, groundwater dynamics under irrigation areas, seawater intrusion, fractured rock systems, catchment water balances, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, coastal acid sulfate soils and integrated water management.

Recent research has focused on testing and advancing various methods of evaluating groundwater discharge to streams and wetlands and he is also interested in combining different approaches to the geological characterisation of aquifers for conceptual and numerical models.

Dr Brodie will be a partner investigator for NCGRT, focusing on activities in the Innovative Characterisation of Aquifers and Aquitards program.

This aligns with Geoscience Australia’s interest in developing geological understandings of groundwater systems, and involves advances in 3D geological modelling, geophysical and remote sensing approaches and evaluation of hydraulic properties.
