Rebecca Lunn

Biography

Dr Becky Lunn is a Reader in Civil Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. She has over 15 years of research experience in hydrogeology, with a particular focus on deep flow systems, hydromechanics and the spatial and temporal evolution of rock permeability. Her research experience is highly multi-disciplinary, and she currently collaborates closely with structural geologists, seismologists, mathematicians and more recently, microbiologists, psychologists and statisticians. Current research interests include: development of computer models to simulate changes in rock permeability over time surrounding geological faults, with a view to improving flow predictions for deep radioactive waste disposal and carbon dioxide sequestration; understanding the relationship between subsurface groundwater flow and earthquakes; and exploring public understanding of uncertain science, such as flood prediction, to inform the regulators approach to public information and decision-making.
