ABOUT ME

Biography

I have over 25 years of international lecturing, consulting and research experience in greenhouse gas measurements, hydrogeology, geology, and geostatistics. My current atmospheric research focuses on measuring methane emissions from coal seam gas, coal mining and agricultural sources. Since 2018 I have been affiliated with the United National Environment Programme Methane Science Studies team, which completed the world’s first airborne measurements of greenhouse gases from coal seam gas fields. I have managed major projects collectively worth over $3 million for the UNEP, Cotton Catchment Communities CRC, and National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training (NCGRT). I do extensive outreach to inform government policy development and the community, and as part of my science outreach, I write written numerous popular press articles including pieces for The Conversation and Australian Geographic. Since 2003 I have supervised over 60 honours, Master, and PhD students to completion.

My major research activities include:

- measuring the greenhouse footprint of coal seam gas, coal mining, natural landscapes, agriculture, and urban environments

- carbon accounting

- satellite observation of greenhouse gases

- airborne measurement of greenhouse gases

- soil health and soil carbon sequestration

- mapping connectivity between coal measures and freshwater aquifers using isotopes

- quantifying aquifer depressurisation impacts on sustainable water use and ecosystems.

In the Greenhouse Gas Measurement laboratory we can analyse the isotopic composition of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide gases. Isotope analyses help attribute the sources of greenhouse gases measured in ambient air samples and gases stripped from groundwater.

Our research on quantifying methane emissions from coal seam gas developments in the Surat Basin, Queensland was recently featured on ABC 7:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89MtxxM-NTU

UN Sustainable Development Goal Research Alignment

Goal 2 - End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

Goal 4 - Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

Goal 11 - Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

Goal 12 - Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns 

Goal 13 - Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*

Goal 15 - Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Public Outreach and Community Impact

I have written educational pieces on the need for research on CSG in The Conversation and Australian Geographic, and I contributed to the recent NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer background reports and reviews on CSG.

    comunian A; King A; jha S; kelly B; mariethoz ; Cox M; Raiber M, 2013, 'A comparison of two multiple-point statistics approaches for characterisation of the Cressbrook Creek alluvial aquifer, Queensland, Australia', presented at Aquifer heterogeneity can have a profound effect on hydrogeological flow systems, but many three dimensional (3D) geological models ignore heterogeneity in favour of more simplistic representations. Multiple-point statistics is a stochastic modelling technique that addresses this issue by generating more realistic representations of aquifer heterogeneity compared to existing methods. It requires a statistical model of the heterogeneity (a training image) with the same dimensionality as the target domain, which is rarely available in 3D. In this study we assess and compare two approaches that allow circumventing the lack of 3D training images. In the first approach the 3D training images are simulated using a process-based technique. The other approach relies on simple bi-dimensional (2D) sketches, transformed in orientation and shape in order to obtain 3D simulations. The techniques are used to characterise the complex internal stratigraphy of the Cressbrook Creek alluvial aquifer system in southeast Queensland, Australia. Cressbrook Creek flooded in January 2011, and the 3D models generated here will be used to examine groundwater recharge processes during this flood. Particular emphasis is given to the effects of aquifer heterogeneity and its impact on surface water and groundwater connectivity. The 3D models are created using the information coming from 146 lithological logs, which were simplified into three facies codes based on grain size. Both techniques produce realistic representations of the aquifer. In each case, a preliminary calibration of the model parameters is required to fit the statistical properties of the dataset. However, the calibration procedures are significantly different. The process-based technique requires a forward geological structure simulator to generate the sedimentary environment; if this tool is available, then the main task is to set up its parameters. The approach based on 2D training images is more flexible because it does not require a process-based tool, however the set up requirements can be more complex because both the 2D sketches and the parameters used for the transformations must be assessed., Perth, Australia, 15 September 2013 - 20 September 2013

Supervision Opportunities/Areas

The Connected Water Initiative Research Centre, UNSW Australia, is seeking high-quality international and domestic applicants to apply for PhD positions. Applicants must have a 1st class honours degree (or equivalent), or a higher degree (MSc or MRes) and evidence of research experience. The international scholarships are highly competitive. Ideally the candidate will have an outstanding undergraduate degree from a top 100 University on the QS, Times, or Shanghai Jao Tong rankings. The candidate will have one or more first author journal papers in a leading journal. All applicants must develop a short research proposal with their potential supervisor. International applicants must also meet English language qualifications.

The greenhouse gas measurement team has ongoing projects quantifying methane and carbon dioxide emissions from wetland, caves, agriculture, coal mining, and coal seam gas. We make these measurements using satellite, aircraft, drone or car based surveys.

We also have several projects assessing the rate of carbon turnover in soils throughout Australia. This research is done in collaboration with ANSTO.

If you are interested in doing an honours or PhD project on any of the above research topics please send your resume to bryce.kelly@unsw.edu.au

Advice for prospective students

Over the next century there will be unprecedented pressures on the environment (particularly on water, soil and air) due to global warming and increasing population. There is a critical need to measure greenhouse gas emissions, so that their generation can be managed. Australia is large and we need many people involved to improve our understanding of water and gas movement throughout the landscape. Being involved in measuring water movement and sources and sinks of greenhouse gases is one way you can make a positive contribution to managing the impacts of global warming. UNSW is at the forefront of measuring gases and their isotopic compositions. Within our gas lab we have:

  • Picarro G2401-i Analyser for methane, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide 
  • Picarro G2132-i Analyser for δ13C for methane
  • Picarro G1101-i Analyser for δ13C for carbon dioxide
  • Los Gatos Research Isotopic N2O Analyser (site-specific δ15N, δ18O and N2O)
  • Los Gatos Research Ultraportable Greenhouse Gas Analyser (CH4, CO2, H2O)
  • Los Gatos Research dissolved gas extraction unit
  • Bruker Alpha multispectral analyser for soil carbon measurements

We also have access to facilities within the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre: http://www.analytical.unsw.edu.au

And we work closely with the Institute for Environmental Research at ANSTO: http://www.ansto.gov.au/ResearchHub/IER/
