Biography

Andrea has 7 years geochemistry research experience which she gained during her PhD and subsequent postdoctoral research fellowship in the Earth Sciences Department at Stellenbosch University. Her research focused on marine/terrestrial water and soil stable isotope and elemental analysis, geochemical PHREEQC modelling, hydrocarbon characterisation, peatland dynamics, groundwater and soil redox chemistry. Since recently joining SLR, she has been involved in a complex pit water quality and mass balance modelling project after mine closure and geochemical source terms for waste rock/tailings for hydrogeological modelling in support of mine water use licence applications.
