Emma visiting the Pevensey Levels to determine a
field monitoring network for river flow, water quality and
ecological monitoringEmma Wren graduated with an MSc
in Geographical Information Systems for Catchment Dynamics and
Management from the University of Leeds in 2000, having already
gained a BSc from the University of Nottingham. She then joined
Mott MacDonald.
Her work at Mott MacDonald has involved projects in the UK,
Ireland, Indonesia and Pakistan. She is currently on secondment to
the Environment Agency Anglian Region to manage two regional
groundwater modelling contracts that cover Essex/Suffolk and
Cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire. Her recent work includes assessing the
potential impacts to groundwater and surface water of an extension
to the Croydon Tram to Crystal Palace, where she was also involved
in the optioneering process to assess the impacts of four different
route options. She has undertaken flood risk mapping and management
projects and has recently travelled to Indonesia to assess the
potential sources of water for a proposed industrial estate.
Emma managed several projects for a large water company to assess
whether several wastewater treatment works were having an impact on
sites that are protected for nature conservation. Emma designed
field monitoring programmes and met site managers to gain their
understanding of hydrological systems. Hydrological, water quality
and ecological field data was collected and analysed to assess
whether links could be established between the discharges from the
treatment works and the protected species.
