Biography
I obtained my PhD from King's College London in 1995 where I worked on landslide processes in tropical rainforest environments, initially as part of the 'Brunei Rainforest Project 1991-92' organised by the Royal Geographical Society with the Universiti Brunei Darussalam. After several years at the University of Huddersfield undertaking teaching and research in geomorphology, specialising in landslides and becoming a world expert in peatland instability and failure, I joined Kingston University in 2007.
