Andy Baker is a UNSW Sydney academic and Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow.
His research aims to generate new knowledge that is only possible by combining the analysis of cave stalagmites, underground hydrological monitoring, and climate hydrological modelling to identify when this replenishment occurred in the past, present, and future.
His research will use caves and cave stalagmites to define the role of climate phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña, and the Indian Ocean Dipole in the replenishment of groundwater.
This work will help identify where groundwater can be sustainably used for water supply and industrial use in the future and to mitigate the impacts of prolonged droughts that are predicted as result of climate change.
Positions available (updated July 2025)
The Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship ‘Caves and their stalagmites: linking climate to groundwater recharge’ awarded to Andy Baker (UNSW Sydney, Australia) has opportunities for honours projects and postdoctoral researchers.
Postdoctoral positions available (updated July 2026)
We will be recruiting later this year.
