    Research

    Research

    Research interests

    General interests include the sedimentology and geomorphology of Late Cenozoic alluvial fans, bedrock river systems, fluvial terrace sequences and Late Quaternary shore platforms / marine terraces. Research in these areas typically involves the analysis of key controlling mechanisms (tectonics, climate, eustacy) and quantifying rates of change using radiometric dating techniques.

    Current Research Projects / Themes:    

    • Landsliding (UK, SE Spain, Morocco)
    • Alluvial fans in mountain front and confined valley settings (USA, SE Spain, Morocco)
    • Alluvial fans as indicators of volcanic island denudation (Cape Verde)
    • River gorge development (transverse drainage) (Iberia, Morocco)
    • Bedrock meander belt development (Morocco)
    • Chronologies of Late Cenozoic landscape development using OSL and cosmogenic exposure dating (Iberia, Morocco, Cape Verde)
