Research Biography
Adrian Werner is a Professor of Hydrogeology at Flinders University. After completing a Civil Engineering Degree at Central Queensland University in 1992, he worked for the Queensland State Government until 2006 on water resources projects, specialising in surface and subsurface hydrology. Adrian completed a Ph.D. at the University of Queensland in 2004 on the topic of coastal aquifer hydrodynamics, and holds an Associate Editor positions with ARC Geophysical Research. Adrian is an active member of the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training.
Adrian held an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (2016-2020) on the topic of Coastal Hydrogeology. His research continues to advance this and other groundwater-related topics, such as surface water-groundwater interaction and water resources management.
