Alice is a research scientist in the Environmental Research Team based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, as well as a PhD candidate at the University of Canterbury.
Alice’s current research focuses on surface water/groundwater interaction in braided rivers, investigating how river loss varies seasonally at a high spatial resolution. Her research uses heat as a tracer using novel Active-Distributed Temperature Sensing (A-DTS) methods. This study is part of an MBIE Endeavour Fund research programme on braided river research.
She is also interested in exploring new uses of fibre optic technologies for environmental sensing.
