Jane Coram

Senior Hydrogeologist, Geospatial and Earth Monitoring Division, Geoscience Australia

Jane Coram has provided high-level technical advice on groundwater issues, including dryland salinity, groundwater sustainability and wetlands management, to Federal and State government agencies and regional catchment managers.

Her work has involved the integrated use of hydrologic, hydrochemical and remotely sensed information to understand groundwater dynamics in relation to near-surface, ecological systems and deeper aquifer dynamics.

She has also been actively involved in the development of multidisciplinary, regional assessments of the role of groundwater processes in wetlands dynamics, dryland salinity and groundwater sustainability.

As a Partner Investigator with NCGRT Ms Coram will focus on three sub-programs under the Innovative Characterisation of Aquifers and Aquitards program – linking geological and hydrogeological processes, characterising aquitards and heat as a groundwater tracer.

This research is aligned with her work for Geoscience Australia in developing geological understandings of groundwater systems using advances in 3D modelling, geophysical and remote sensing, and evaluation of hydraulic properties.
