Rate My Professor Bryce Kelly

Kelly has managed major research projects collectively worth over $3 million, funded by UNEP, the Cotton Research and Development Corporation, and the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training. Since 2003, he has supervised over 60 honours, Master's, and PhD students to completion. His awards include finalist for the Cotton Seed Distributor Researcher of the Year (2016), finalist for the National Water Commission Professor Peter Cullen Eureka Prize for Water Research and Innovation (2011), Cotton Catchment Communities CRC Achiever of the Month for developing 3D conceptual hydrogeological models (2010), and Science and Innovation Award for electrical imaging techniques for soil water monitoring (2007). Key publications comprise 'Atmospheric methane isotopes identify inventory knowledge gaps in the Surat Basin, Australia, coal seam gas and agricultural regions' (Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022), 'Isotopic signatures of major methane sources in the coal seam gas fields and adjacent agricultural districts, Queensland, Australia' (Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021), 'Coal seam gas industry methane emissions in the Surat Basin, Australia: Comparing airborne measurements with inventories' (Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2021), and 'Isotopic evidence for nitrate sources and controls on denitrification in groundwater beneath an irrigated agricultural district' (Science of the Total Environment, 2022). A member of the American Geophysical Union, European Geosciences Union, and International Association of Hydrogeologists, Kelly conducts outreach to influence government policy through articles in The Conversation and Australian Geographic.
