Simon A. MathiasSimon Mathias holds a Lectureship in the Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University. Prior to this position he was active in the field of groundwater engineering as a researcher and lecturer within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engneering at Imperial College, London. His principal expertise lies in the development of mathematical models to describe flow and transport of reactive contaminants in porous and fractured porous media. Dr Mathias has worked on a broad range of applications including vadose zone transport of nutrients in fracture rock systems, plant uptake of radionuclides, aquifer characterisation studies, buoyancy driven flow problems, CO2 geo-sequestration and hydraulic fracture propagation. He has published widely in international peer-reviewed journals. Dr Mathias is an elected committee member of the British Hydrological Society. Read More Read Less
