Geology and the Environment is a subject which has always captivated me from a young age, however growing up in the Midlands, Geology was hard to come by for me, so when the opportunity came to study […]
Daniel Pastor-Galán is a geologist interested in plate tectonics in general. His research focuses in formation of mountain belts and global tectonic and geodynamic evolution of the Earth. He is especially interested in the formation of oroclines, which are map scale curvature in mountain belts and in the formation and evolution of supercontinents. He tries […]
Anne Van Loon is a Lecturer at the University of Birmingham. Her research is focused on catchment hydrology and hydrogeology. She studies the relationship between climate, landscape/geology, and hydrological extremes and its variation around the world. She is especially interested in the influence of storage in groundwater, human activities, and cold conditions (snow and glaciers) on the […]

Throughout my PhD project I have been on numerous field trips to the Matienzo valley in northern Spain. This valley is in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountain range about 30 […]
