Biography

Devin Harrison is a Marine Geoscientist affiliated with Kelpie Geoscience and the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre. His research focuses on utilizing high-resolution topographic models of the seafloor and complementary geophysical geospatial datasets to understand the geomorphic evolution processes and landform relationships on deep-sea continental shelves. Devin possesses extensive expertise in geophysical soundings in terrestrial systems, glacial outwash systems, ice-marginal environments, peatland environments, and fluvial landscapes. He earned a PhD from Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, where his doctoral research concentrated on the use of geophysical techniques such as ground-penetrating radar to characterize the evolution of terrestrial glacial ice-margins and outwash plains in southeast Iceland. His publications address topics such as glacial outburst floods and their geomorphic impact, as well as the long-term evolution of glacial forelands subject to high-magnitude outburst floods. Currently, Devin is engaged in the Inkfish open ocean project, aiming to understand deep-sea geomorphic processes and to characterize the spatial complexity and variability in seafloor habitat classification. His ongoing research interests include glacial geomorphology, deep-sea geomorphology, landform landscape evolution, submarine landslides, peatland environments, and glaciofluvial sedimentology.
