Geomorphologist

A Geomorphologist studies the formation and evolution of landforms, focusing on processes like erosion, sedimentation, and weathering. You’ll conduct field surveys, collect and analyse geological data, and use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to model landscapes. Key responsibilities include providing expert advice on land use planning and environmental management.

Geomorphologists often collaborate on coastal management and habitat conservation projects, ensuring sustainable practices are followed.
