Dr Ulrich Ofterdinger

School of Natural and Built Environment

The overarching theme of my research activities is the characterisation of complex geohydrological and environmental systems across multiple scales to better understand the underlying governing processes and the potential impacts to the environment and human health, including: 

  • Fractured Bedrock Hydrogeology
  • Catchment Hydrology/Hydrogeology
  • Isotope Hydrology/Geochemistry
  • Hydrogeophysics
  • Risk Assessment of Unconventional Oil & Gas Extraction
  • Environment and Human Health / Medical Geology
  • Contaminant Fate and Transport / Numerical Modeling
  • Hydrogeological Aspects of Geothermal Energy Systems
  • Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation / Disaster Risk Reduction
