In her present role at BHP, she is responsible for the use of geophysics for the Australasia metal exploration and generative groups. In 2021, she was awarded the ASEG 50th Anniversary Special Award for exceptional and highly distinguished contributions to the ASEG, the profession and the broader community by a Member, resulting in wide recognition across the geoscience community.

Before founding EMerald in 2019, he spent 12 years at the Norwegian Geotechnical Insititute (NGI). He introduced airborne Bradley Moggridge geophysics to NGI in 2007, initially for resource exploration and later for the unique application in geotechnical projects. Andi Centre for Applied Water Science Pfaffhuber established the NGI Geosurveys section in 2012 to develop, adapt and implement geophysical, remote sensing and GIS methods in NGIs advanced geotechnical projects. Ten years of research in the field of geotechnical geophysics led then to the strategic technology spin-off from NGI to EMerald. Andi holds a PhD in applied geophysics from Bremen University (2006) and an MSc in applied geoscience from Technical University Berlin (2001). His field of expertise spans from research, innovation, project management, business development and scientific consulting primarily with a focus on the infrastructure industry.Presentation title: Geotechnical ground investigations with a small airborne TEM prototype system.Associate Professor Bradley Moggridge is a proud Murri from the Kamilaroi Nation living on Ngunnawal Land and isDr Bernhard Siemona researcher in indigenous water science (with qualificationsBundesanstalt fr Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffein hydrogeology and environmental science) and is in the final stages of his PhD candidature at the University of Canberra.
