Ian Cartwright

Head, School of Geosciences, Monash University

A successful hard rock geologist, Professor Ian Cartwright has changed research direction in recent years to focus on hydrogeological systems and environmental change.

He has quickly made a mark with a vibrant research program that has received funding from competitive grant schemes and government agencies.

An associate editor of the international Hydrogeology Journal, Professor Cartwright oversees the running of the Environmental Stable Isotope Facility at Monash University which consistently produces high-quality data and world-class research.

Most of his current research integrates major and trace element geochemistry, stable and radiogenic isotopes, and numerical and chemical models to better understand solutes, pathways of groundwater flow and water-rock-gas interactions.

Professor Cartwright will be closely involved in several research themes for NCGRT, specifically in the integration of geochemical techniques such as stable isotopes, radiogenic isotopes and major ion geochemistry with other areas including numerical modelling and physical hydrogeology.
