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.

I am a geologist with interest in sedimentology, tectonics, paleoclimates and energy. I work mainly on the reconstruction of past climates and past tectonics, and how the earth system responds to environmental perturbations. My field areas are european mountain ranges, New Zealand, Taiwan and the Indo-Asian collision zone, as well as sedimentary basins around the world. Over the last twenty years I have lead research in the broad domain of source-to-sink and sediment routing systems.

My research focuses on understanding the processes that shape landscapes, such as rivers, hillslopes, and debris flows, by analysing topographic data. I investigate how climate and tectonics control the structure and organisation of fluvial networks, such as the drainage density, channel steepness, and planform geometry of networks.

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.

I am a geomorphologist at the University of Potsdam. I study Earth surface processes and how they act in and feedback on mountain environments. My interests on these interactions span several time scales and spatial scales, and include tectonic processes and long-term climate variability, Holocene morphodynamics, natural hazards and risks, and the present day nexus of climate change, water resources and renewable energies. If geomorphologists were to be classified into field workers and modellers, I’d definitely position myself between both. My main methodological tools include digital terrain analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), landscape evolution modelling, data mining and exploration, and statistical analysis and machine learning. In the field, I am studying landforms using a suite of geodetic techniques, sedimentary analysis, and numerical age control.
