Kerry Bardot

Kerry Bardot holds roles as a Lecturer in the School of Earth and Oceans and a Research Fellow at the Centre for Water and Spatial Science, both at The University of Western Australia. Her expertise spans hydrogeology, groundwater modelling, and water resource management, with a focus on integrating geological structures into flow simulations.

Education includes a Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental) from The University of Western Australia (2002) and a Graduate Diploma in Education (Secondary) from Edith Cowan University (2016).

Her research emphasizes accurate groundwater flow modelling, particularly in complex sedimentary systems, using tools like MODFLOW. She investigates structural uncertainties in aquifers and the impact of anisotropic properties on flow distribution.

Key contributions include advancing MODFLOW’s capabilities for dipping aquifers and developing workflows to address fault-related uncertainties in the Perth Basin. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean water and environmental sustainability.

Bardot’s doctoral thesis (2024) further explores integrating geological data into groundwater models, emphasizing practical applications in resource management. She collaborates widely on structural geology and hydrogeological challenges.
