Associate Professor John Argue, BE (NSW), MSc (Iowa)

John Argue, University of South Australia, has a long history of involvement in urban hydraulics and hydrology to his credit. His book Storm Drainage Design in Small Urban Catchments: An Australian Handbook is widely used by practitioners. Since 1987, his main research has been in the field of on-site retention of stormwater leading to diversion of stormwater into underground aquifers and subsequent retrieval for open space watering.

Associate Professor Graeme C Dandy, BE (Civil), MEngSc (Melb), PhD (MIT)

Graeme Dandy teaches in the areas of water resources planning and management at The University of Adelaide. His research interests include optimisation and artificial intelligence techniques applied to water resources problems. He has over 100 research publications and has acted as a consultant on a number of projects including the optimum design of urban and irrigation pipe network systems.

Dr Craig T Simmons, BE (Hons), BSc (Adel), PhD (Flinders)

Craig Simmons is a lecturer in hydrology in Earth Sciences at Flinders University. His research interests include groundwater hydrogeology, groundwater flow and solute transport modelling, numerical methods, saline disposal basins and salt lakes, density-induced fluid mechanics, stochastic subsurface hydrology and heterogeneity characterisation.

Dr John L Hutson, BSc, MSc (Agric), PhD (Natal)

A Senior Lecturer in hydrology in Earth Sciences at Flinders University, John Hutson is a soil scientist with worldwide experience in the transport and fate of chemicals in soils, soil physical characterisation, plant-water relationships, salinity issues, and the impact of land-use on water quality at field and catchment scales. He is co-author of LEACHM, a widely-used model for predicting the water regime and chemical fate and transport in unsaturated soils.

Dr Corinne Le Gal La Salle, Engineer (INSA, France), National DEA of Hydrology, PhD (Paris-Sud)

Corinne Le Gal La Salle is a Lecturer in Earth Sciences at Flinders University. Her main research interests encompass the use of environmental tracers, hydrochemistry and isotopes, to infer past and present hydrogeological processes, such as groundwater flow paths, mixing, evaporation, groundwater residence time and renewal rate. Current projects include investigations of natural salt lakes occurring in a regional groundwater discharge area in a semi arid environment, and evolution of salinity in an artificial fresh water wetland.

Staff members with students

Dr Martin Lambert, BE, PhD (Newcastle)

Martin Lambert of The University of Adelaide has expertise in the fields of hydraulics engineering and hydrology. He has extensive experience in both physical and numerical models of natural river systems, particularly in relation to the momentum interaction between floodplains and main river channels. He has also been working with hydrologic simulation models of rainfall and run-off for investigating joint probability problems in river and coastal engineering.

Associate Professor Dennis Mulcahy, BSc (Hons), PhD (Adel)

Head of the School of Chemical Technology at the University of South Australia, Dennis Mulcahy is also Education and Training Program Coordinator for the CRC for Water Quality and Treatment. In addition, he is Convenor of the South Australian Stormwater Quantity/Quality Monitoring (Q/Q) Group. Dennis Mulcahy is responsible for the subjects Water Quality Fundamentals and Processes, and Advanced Water Quality.

Dr Angus Simpson, BE(Hons) (Monash), MSc (Colorado), PhD (Michigan)

Angus Simpson's main teaching interest at The University of Adelaide is hydraulics and pipe flow. His main research area is the application of advanced numerical modelling and optimisation techniques to hydraulic engineering problems. Research areas include water distribution system simulation, water hammer modelling, genetic algorithm optimisation, hydro-electric transient modelling, and column separation. Angus Simpson has also conducted research into optimising the scheduling of irrigation deliveries in piped systems.

Trevor Daniell, BE (Hons), ME (Adel), MAS (ANU), MIEAust, CPEng

Trevor Daniell is a senior lecturer at the University of Adelaide. He has undertaken flood forecasting, yield studies for water supply, rainfall run-off modelling for urban and stormwater developments and environmental engineering projects. His research interests are in environmental hydrology including sustainable development issues in water, urban wetlands, water quality and sediment transport, extreme flood estimation, rainfall run-off modelling, stormwater issues and developing the use of neural networks and genetic algorithms in hydrology.
