Linda Robb
MA (Hons), MWRM
Linda works on groundwater and surface water interactions, applying tracer techniques to understand subsurface processes in braided rivers. She also manages the plantain potency trial at Lincoln University’s dairy farm, supporting research that helps reduce nitrogen losses and greenhouse gas emissions in the dairy sector.
With a master’s degree from the University of Canterbury, Linda specialises in using radon as a tracer to study groundwater/surface water exchange and contributes to applied research in sustainable farming practices.
Linda is currently undertaking a PhD investigating the impacts of freshwater acidification and trace metals on algal and cyanobacterial communities.
Her work provides insights into how rivers and groundwater systems interact and supports practical solutions for farmers to improve environmental outcomes while maintaining productivity.
Focus areas:
- Groundwater and surface water interactions in braided rivers
- Radon tracer methods for subsurface research
- Sustainable farming trials to reduce nitrogen leaching and emissions
