Vale Dr Graham Bruce Allison

We are sorry to share the news that Dr Graham Bruce Allison has passes away.

Graham was Chief of the CSIRO Division of Water Resources from 1988 to 1997. After CSIRO he was a consultant to Land and Water Australia and a Board member of the SA Water Corporation and Kangaroo Island Natural Resources Management Board.

He was internationally recognised for his contributions to groundwater hydrology, landscape and river salinisation, arid zone hydrology and isotope hydrology. He published more than 100 research papers, book chapters and conference papers. In the mid-1980s he initiated studies on the possible progress of salinisation of the Murray Darling Basin (MDB). This work had a major impact of the management of the MDB.

We invite alumni members and former colleagues to add their own tributes and memories of him to this post.
