1 articleBiography
Bronwen Forsyth has a PhD in Environmental Geochemistry and has spent 4 years (2008–12) characterizing the mineralogy and long-term metal leaching and acid rock drainage potential of tailings at the Mount Isa copper-zinc-lead deposit in northwest Queensland, Australia, as part of her PhD research. Bronwen spent 2 years (2013–15) working with SRK in Vancouver, Canada, and is now based in Brisbane, Australia, where she continues to work with clients in Australia and British Columbia. Her experience includes mine waste characterization and sample program design, geochemical modelling (using PHREEQC and GWB), development of mine waste management plans, and prediction of mine contact water chemistry. Bronwen has a particular interest in the geochemistry of the Mount Isa Inlier and aspects of modern environmental geochemistry, including advancements in analytical methods and implications of extreme weather events and longer-term changes in climate.
