Research scientist, CSIRO
Dr Henning Prommer is a Winthrop Research Professor at the University of Western Australia and a Principal Research Scientist and Team Leader in the Environmental Contaminant Mitigation and Technologies Program at CSIRO Land and Water. His main expertise and research interests are (i) the development and application of reactive transport models to water quality issues in porous media, in particular the quantification of redox processes and the associated fate of organic and inorganic pollutants at both the laboratory- and field-scale (ii) understanding and quantifying coupled transport and (bio)geochemical processes induced by managed aquifer recharge techniques such as aquifer storage and recovery and (iii) numerical modelling of spatial and temporal variations of isotope signatures and environmental tracers in natural and contaminated aquifers.
Can billions of litres of coal seam gas water be safely reinjected into the ground?

Water produced when coal seam gas (CSG) is extracted from below ground can be safely re-injected hundreds of metres underground, according to new CSIRO research. Water is pumped out of coal seams to access the gas held...
