BGA ECG Academic Talk: The Effects of Weathering on the Chalk Unsaturated Zone

The Chalk aquifer is a strategic resource for the water supply across ~21,500 km2 of the UK and is increasingly under pressure from changes in demand due to climate change.

Tony will discuss how his work in the field and lab aim to further understanding and characterisation of development of weathering in the chalk unsaturated zone (CUZ). Evaluating permeability and porosity in respect to flow regime, and geomechanical changes.
Tony is currently a PhD researcher at Imperial College London within the Geotechnics Cluster.
