Reader in Landscape Dynamics in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London, Alexander Whittaker focuses on the interface of active tectonics, climate, and erosion-sedimentation processes affecting the Earth's surface. His research employs a combination of fieldwork, observational data, remote sensing techniques, and modeling approaches. He has a strong passion for understanding active faulting and geohazards, as well as landscape evolution influenced by geological and climatic factors. His work examines the tectonic, climatic, and lithological controls on sediment transport in river and submarine channel systems and their implications for depositional stratigraphy at various spatial scales. Additionally, he is interested in quantitative paleohydrology and landscape sensitivity to environmental change, both in the past and present.
