Associate Professor Bryce Frederick John Kelly is an academic at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), affiliated with the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. His research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions, hydrogeology, and groundwater management, with a specialization in methane and carbon dioxide isotopic analysis. He leads the Greenhouse Gas Measurement Laboratory, which analyzes gas isotopes to trace emissions from coal seam gas (CSG), agriculture, and urban environments.
Education: BSc (Hons) in Environmental Geology (UNSW, 1989); PhD in Environmental Geophysics (UNSW, 1995).
Research Interests:
- Measuring methane emissions from CSG, coal mining, and agriculture
- Soil carbon sequestration and groundwater sustainability
- Isotope geochemistry for source attribution of greenhouse gases
- Satellite and airborne greenhouse gas monitoring
- Impact of CSG development on aquifers and ecosystems
Key Projects: Leading the United Nations Environment Programme Methane Science Studies team, quantifying emissions in the Surat Basin. Co-supervising 60+ students. Collaborating with ANSTO on soil carbon and groundwater modeling.
Awards: 2016 Cotton Seed Distributor Researcher of the Year finalist, 2011 Eureka Prize finalist for water research, and multiple industry awards for hydrogeological innovation.
Labs/Teams: Connected Water Initiative, Centre for Ecosystem Science, Earth and Sustainability Science Research Centre (ESSRC). Active in policy outreach through The Conversation and Australian Geographic.
