Teaching

During 2012-13, Roger will oversee and contribute teaching of the MSc in applied geomorphology. He will also examine and supervise masters and doctoral students and will contribute to a range of training and conference events for professionals. Applicants wishing to study for the masters or a doctorate can express interest, including a brief outline of their research ideas, via geomorphology@sussex.ac.uk.
