Theme Leads
John Dearing
Professor John Dearing is Professor in Physical Geography within Geography and Environment at the University of Southampton.
His research interests include:
- Global environmental change, particularly the integration of climate, human activities and environmental processes.
- Reconstructing long-term environmental change and ecological services through analyses of lake sediments, particularly through mineral magnetic measurements, and other archives.
- Understanding the complexity of modern and future environmental systems from past records and modelling.
As a recipient of the Murchison Award (2014), given by the Royal Geographical Society in recognition for publications contributing to the understanding of environmental change, he has been involved in close collaborations with Chinese research institutions working on social, ecological and environmental issues in China since 2001. Recently, he was awarded a visiting professorship by Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology during 2014-2015.
