Biography
Stephen has a BSc in Geography from the University of Southampton, and a PhD in Physical Geography from the University of Wollongong, Australia. Stephen's research interests include geomorphology and fluvial sedimentology, especially in drylands. He has undertaken fieldwork in many parts of the world including the drylands of Australia, southern Africa, Europe, Asia, South and North America. 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; and the use of Earth analogues for interpretations of the geomorphology of Mars. He is also interested in geographical issues more generally, including current debates about global climate change and the Anthropocene, and in the use of creative/artistic approaches for enhancing science education.
