Dr Juliette Woods holds a joint position as the Principal Groundwater Modeller at the SA Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) and as a Research Fellow at the School of the Environment. She has worked in groundwater modelling in academia, government and industry since 1996. She was awarded a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Adelaide in 2004 on the simulation of variable-density flow and solute transport, examining the numerical accuracy of different solution methods and simulating saline lakes. She was a research fellow at the Institute of Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas, Austin from 2001 to 2003, and later became Principal Groundwater Modeller at SA consulting company Australian Water Environments. She specialises in the salinity in the lower River Murray, but also works on regional-scale water resource models, surface-groundwater interaction and climate change impact studies.
