Prosesau Arwyneb y Ddaear

Mae ein grŵp ymchwil amlddisgyblaethol yn ceisio deall byd yn y dyfodol gyda hinsawdd gynhesach a defnydd gwahanol o dir.

Earth's surface acts as the interface between the geologic, biologic, hydrologic, hydrodynamic and human processes that drive environmental change.

Our multidisciplinary research group includes experts interested in understanding the movement of water and sediment across and through Earth's surface.

We attempt to understand a future world with a warmer climate and different land uses.

We explain past and present landscapes through process measurements, laboratory experiments and numerical modelling.
