The Earth surface is the interface between exogenic and endogenic forces; it is the template and product of water and material fluxes; and habitat of life. The overarching goal of my research is to improve our understanding about how processes shape the Earth surface, and how they affect and interact with human activity. In particular, I am interested in environmental changes and high magnitude-low frequency events and their role in landscape evolution on a variety of spatial and temporal scales, in the past and today. My interdisciplinary and collaborative research approach combines geomorphological and sedimentological field work, geodesy and geomorphometry, as well as statistical and physics-based modelling. Besides its scientific goals, my research aims to inform land use planning about potentially adverse effects of Earth surface processes, and the sustainable use of water and soil resources.

I am a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow in the Department of Geography at The University of Sheffield, UK. I am a planetary scientist and glacial geomorphologist researching the history of glaciation on Mars and Earth. I obtained a BA in Geography from the University of Cambridge in 2015 before moving to The Open University to undertake a PhD entitled 'Wet-Based Glaciation on Mars', which I completed in 2019. I then moved to the University of Sheffield as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant on the ERC-funded PALGLAC project (PI: Prof Chris Clark), using glacial landforms to reconstruct the flow dynamics of the former Scandinavian Ice Sheet on Earth. I began my current Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellowship at Sheffield in 2022. I use data from satellites orbiting Mars to analyse the landscapes generated by past and present glaciers on the Red Planet. In doing so, I aim to better understand the history of environmental change on Mars, with a particular focus on the history of glacial meltwater production.

Prof. Fan obtained her Ph.D. in Geological Hazard and Risk Assessment from the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observations (ITC), University of Twente in the Netherlands (2013). After her PhD she was employed for one year by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in Geneva as a disaster risk reduction training expert. In 2015, she started to work at the State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection, Chengdu University of Technology, China. She was promoted to a Full Professor position in 2016. Prof. Fan’s research focuses on the earthquake induced chains of geological hazards, coupling effect of tectonic and climatic forces on geohazards (especially in the Tibetan Plateau), long-term landscape evaluation and paleo-landslides. After the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, she has carried out in-depth research to understand the causes and effects of earthquake-induced landslides and landslide dams. She is the co-PI of a UK-China collaboration project, REACH, through this project, her team obtained interesting results in revealing the spatio-temporal evolution of geohazards after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and the controlling factors. She also developed early warning system for post-earthquake debris flows, which been applied by the local government and has successfully predicted more than 10 debris flows, saving lives of 1300 people.

I seek to understand how biogeochemical processes influence the composition of the atmosphere (CO2 and O2 concentrations) over a range of timescales from decades to millions of years, thereby regulating Earth’s climate and affecting the evolution of life. My group is conducting research on: • Fluvial transfer of organic carbon from continental reservoirs to the ocean. • Carbon cycling in the Critical Zone. • Impact of climate change on the dynamics of terrestrial organic carbon cycling. • Deep biosphere, role of microbial communities in sedimentary systems. • Relationships between erosion, tectonics and climate over geologic timescales. • Radiocarbon dating (compound specific, ramped pyrolysis/oxidation), new dating techniques. • Developing paleo-climate proxies, e.g. compound specific stable isotope measurements.

Professor Parsons is an active researcher in areas related to fluvial, estuarine, coastal and deep marine sedimentary environments, exploring responses of these systems to climate and environmental change. He has research interests in anthropogenic disturbances to these systems and determining necessary societal adaptations to mitigate the impact of change – for example understanding how evolving flood risk on large mega-deltas can impact populations and related regional and global food security - through to understanding the impact of plastics, particularly in coastal and marine environments. Professor Parsons also has research interests in environmental scale modelling, innovative environmental measurement technologies and in areas related to offshore renewable energy.
