Research Interests

Geomorphology and sedimentology, especially in the drylands of Australia, southern Africa, southern Europe, South America and India. Particular research themes include: anabranching rivers; floodplains and floodouts; wetlands in drylands; channel-vegetation interactions; bedrock-influenced rivers; controls on gully erosion; long-term fluvial landscape development; palaeoenvironmental change; global climate change and the Anthropocene; and the use of drylands on Earth as analogues for Martian surface environments.  Other interests include environmental issues more generally, such as current debates about global climate change and the Anthropocene, science-art collaborations, and science education.
