Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrioch Hemmings is a Senior Hydrogeologist with 11 years’ experience blending groundwater modelling, volcanology and geophysics to inform water resource, land use and geothermal reservoir decisions. He has led highly-parameterised model calibration and uncertainty analysis at GNS Science and now applies that expertise at INTERA, coupling field observation with 3D numerical simulations developed during a PhD and postdoc in computational volcanology. An active contributor to the open-source flopy MODFLOW Python ecosystem, he improves model reproducibility and handles complex output workflows used by the groundwater community. Based in Waikato, New Zealand, Brioch brings a rare combination of volcanological fieldwork, geophysical monitoring and software development that helps translate model uncertainty into practical management advice.
