Chris Turnadge
Chris has been employed as a hydrogeologist at the CSIRO in Adelaide since 2011. During this time he has contributed to a number of regional scale groundwater resource assessments, including flow system conceptualisation, analytical and numerical modelling, and the interpretation of environmental tracers. Much of Chris’s research is aimed at translating existing methods from academic literature to common practice. This includes the estimation of hydraulic properties from groundwater responses to barometric loading, and to Earth, atmospheric and ocean tides. Chris's contribution to the Deep Earth Imaging Future Science Platform has involved developing sinusoidal methods of groundwater well testing for improved estimation of aquifer hydraulic properties. Chris is also currently undertaking a doctoral degree in partnership with the University of Colorado and Flinders University, focused on developing and promoting the use of adjoint state methods for more effective calculation of numerical model sensitivities.
