Hydrological ballence of the Preston and Ricknall Carrs

This MScR project examines the hydrological and geochemical functioning of the Preston and Ricknall Carrs through integrated field, analytical, and modelling approaches. The research involves year-round site visits to obtain dip-well measurements and solute samples, alongside extensive hydrological modelling and geochemical analysis to characterise groundwater–surface water dynamics. The aim of this investigation is to provide evidence-based guidance for the effective and safe restoration of wetland habitats within the area. The project is undertaken in collaboration with the Durham Wildlife Trust and supervised by Fred Worrall.
