Andrew Ireson joined the Global Institute for Water Security as assistant professor in March 2011. Prior to that, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Imperial College London. Andrew holds a PhD and MSc from Imperial College London and a MEng from Bath University.

Andrew’s research focuses on developing models that show how water and pollutants move through the underground environment. At the U of S, his research focuses on the movement, distribution and quality of water in cold regions such as the prairies and boreal forest and how to model these complex environments to predict how water might be affected by climate and land use changes. As groundwater sources are not visible, quantifying recharge and contamination is challenging. Understanding these complexities will contribute to more sustainable management and use of groundwater for domestic and industrial purposes.

Matt completed his PhD from the University of Waterloo in 2009. His doctoral research focused on passive techniques for managing groundwater quality in mining environments. He held a post-doctoral fellowship at Waterloo's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences from 2010-11, as well as the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of British Columbia from 2011-12. His post-doctoral research focused on the biogeochemical evolution of mine wastes, passive techniques for groundwater remediation and novel techniques for characterizing biogeochemical processes in groundwater systems. 

His current research interests are focused on biogeochemical processed in hydrogeologic systems, and generally falls within two principle themes: characterizing biogeochemical processes that control groundwater quality, and developing innovative strategies for managing groundwater quality.
