Landscape Dynamics and Ecology

We use multi-proxy environmental data, and model past and present environments to further our understanding of environmental change.

About

Our research often involves the application of new methodological approaches that integrate high-resolution field and laboratory data acquisition with numerical and physical modelling.

Our main research priorities include:

geomorphic processes in aeolian, coastal, fluvial and shallow marine, glacial and periglacial environments
changes in environmental systems in response to climate change, in fluvial, glacial and coastal environments
the effects of extreme events on society, including catchment management, flooding, coastal changes and ecosystem responses
reconstructing climate change during the quaternary (Europe, the Americas, Arctic and South Pacific
understanding the process, timing and forcing of human migration into the tropical South Pacific
exploring what makes small islands vulnerable to multiple hazards
