Phil leads the Environmental Change undergraduate theme, progressing from the Year 1 module Earth Systems & Processes to Year 2 Ice Age Earth to Year 3 Climate Change. On Threats to Civilisation, he explores lessons from past population collapses for contemporary disaster management. He also leads Geography’s Switzerland trip, with students researching alpine deglaciation and its implications for society.
Phil’s research uses the luminescence properties of minerals to date past environmental changes and hominin evolution, dispersal and occupation. Working with universities, NGOs and the pre-construction industry around the world, Gloucestershire’s Luminescence dating laboratory has secured £1.5m of income. More information about Phil’s research can be found in the University’s Research Repository.
