The Land Surface Dynamics research group is focused on determining the Earth surface response to climatic and tectonic forcing in terms of erosional and sedimentary fluxes and the consequent geomorphology of the continents. We are focused on determining the Earth surface response to climate and erosion, and the subsequent formation and evolution of landscapes. Our researchers evaluate and model the climatic and tectonic forcing of landscapes through the action of rivers, glaciers and hillslope processes, and consider the human responses to these changes. A broad range of measurement techniques is used in our research including topographic analysis, low-temperature thermochronology and cosmogenic isotopes. Study areas include Iceland, the European Alps, Taiwan, the Apennines, the Sierra Nevada in California, the Pyrenees, the Patagonian Andes and the Himalayas. Our people Our research is thanks to the hard work of the people in this group. Click their names to find out more on their profile.(Placeholder image, this will be the usual feed on the live site) Research case studies (working title)[ In future development of the site, there will be an opportunity for each research group to have a select number (no more than 3 ) of research case studies to showcase on their page. These will be links to research case studies that are/will be in the "Featured Research" section. This could be research that members of your group are most proud of, feel like it reflects best on the range of research undertaken, or would be most attractive to prospective research students. ] This article was published on 2025-07-15
