School of GeoSciences Research

About us

Our group includes a wide range of students, researchers and academics, all broadly interested in geomorphology.

We are focused on determining the Earth surface response to climatic and tectonic forcing in terms of erosional and sedimentary fluxes and the continents' consequent geomorphology.   

Our researchers evaluate and model the climatic and tectonic forcing of landscapes transmitted through the action of rivers, glaciers and hillslope processes, and consider the anthropogenic responses to these changes.  

A broad range of measurement techniques is used in our research including topographic analysis, low-temperature thermochronology and cosmogenic isotopes.  Study areas include Iceland, the European Alps, Taiwan, the Apennines, the Sierra Nevada in California, the Pyrenees, the Patagonian Andes and the Himalayas.
