Dr Helen Rutlidge

Lecturer
Engineering
School of Chemical Engineering

Over the course of my career I have developed research interests in the following areas:

  • Organic chemistry of surface water and groundwater interactions
  • Natural organic matter characterisation
  • Cave and karst water quality process
  • Stable water isotope hydrology
  • Laser ablation for chemical characterisation of surfaces

After completing my PhD, I started working at UNSW in a role that was a 50/50 split between providing technical support in the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre (MWAC) and research as part of the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training. My key responsibility was establishing laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) in the MWAC. Since then I have been working in several postdoctoral positions at UNSW including working on the following projects:

  • ‘Research to inform the assessment of ecohydrological responses to coal seam gas extraction and coal mining’ 
  • ‘Groundwater organic matter: carbon source or sink?’
  • 'Where is all the water?'
