Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecture Series

CSIRO scientist Dr Peter Cook will next month embark on one of the worlds most prestigious lectureships offered for groundwater research  the Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecture Series.

As 2009 Darcy Lecturer, Dr Cook will present more than 30 lectures at universities and research institutes across Australia, North America and Europe. Sponsored by the United Stated-based National Ground Water Association, the lecture series fosters academic interest and excellence in groundwater science and technology.

Dr Cook, from CSIRO Land and Waters Waite Laboratories in Adelaide, will focus his Darcy lectureship on the use of environmental tracers to reduce uncertainty in groundwater flow estimation.

The Lecture Series visits Flinders Universy, Adelaide in March and returns to Australia and the other captial cities in July.
