Keith is a fluvial geomorphologist with interests including river channel forms and processes in a wide range of environments; hydrological processes and sediment production and transfer processes in drainage basins; modelling of fluvial and hydrological systems. Keith’s current research projects include modelling fluvial processes at a variety of time and space scales (river reaches to catchments) interactions of fluvial processes and floodplain ecology and the restoration of European floodplain forest ecosystems changes in the sediment delivery system and the channel forms of rivers in the Indo-Gangetic plains and the Himalayas applying photogrammetric, image analysis and GIS methods in the development of hydrological and fluid dynamic models.
