About
Steve is a Professor of Physical Geography. His research focuses on sediment transfer processes, with a particular focus on river bank erosion, the dynamics of the world's largest rivers and their deltas, and oceanic turbidity currents. He is currently Associate Dean for Research in the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences.
Research
Research groups
Research interests
- River and coastal flooding - relationships between geomorphology and flooding in rivers and deltas
- Biogeomorphology - interactions between river processes and life
- River bank erosion processes
- Dynamics of river channel migration and delta evolution
Current research
I am currently (2021-2026) co-PI on a NERC funded large grant, EVOFLOOD (evoflood.co.uk) looking at the interplay between climate change and river channel evolution in driving changing flood hazard and risk.
I am also CI on a NERC funded project, GLOSS, which is using satellite imagery combined with theoretical insights into suspended sediment transport to evaluate global trends in suspended sediment loads. These insights are being used to develop new global-scale models of suspended sediment transport.
