I am a hydrogeologist with expertise in numerical groundwater modelling and contaminant transport. Currently, lecturing hydrogeology at Stellenbosch University at the Department of Earth Sciences. I am currently part of an international deep drilling project in the Bushveld Complex funded by the International Continental Drilling Programme (ICDP). While the main focus of the Bushveld Drilling Project (BVDP) is to a produce a continuous vertical stratigraphic sequence of the Bushveld Complex (BC), there is a sub-component to collect geohydrological information along with microbiological and gas components. The new borehole, 2 500 m deep, will provide an opportunity to collect information from the deeper systems within the Bushveld Complex, which will inform on the connection between shallow and deeper groundwater. Current research to be conducted is based on geothermal energy and methane gas potential in the BC.
