Research summary

My research focuses on surface water flow generation and its interaction with the land surface at a variety of time and space scales. My work is both theoretical and applied and involves field, experimental, analytical and modelling components. The various strands of my research can be summarised as follows:

Hillslope hydrology and sediment transport:  The action of running water is undoubtedly one of the most important drivers of landscape change globally which is directly coupled to climate. The importance of runoff driven erosional processes in landscape evolution has long been recognized, yet theoretical expressions relating sediment flux to hillslope and ...
