Ian Kane is a geologist and environmental scientist, leading the 'Plastics in the Natural Environment' theme at the Manchester Environmental Research Group. His research interests revolve around deep-marine sedimentary environments, focusing on processes and products related to sediment transport and its natural and anthropogenic impacts. Kane completed his PhD at the University of Leeds in 2007, where he explored submarine channel-levee systems through fieldwork in Cretaceous deep-marine strata of Baja California, Mexico, and utilized flume-tank modeling of turbidity currents. He also leads SedResQ, investigating sediment transport from terrestrial environments to deep-marine basins, emphasizing the connections between gravity-driven sedimentological processes and the deposition of natural and anthropogenic sediments in the stratigraphic record. Kane serves as the Executive Editor for the Diamond Open Access Journal Sedimentologika and has a history as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Sedimentology from 2018 to 2022.
