Following his PhD, Dr. Oliver expanded his work as a post-doctoral research fellow, leading to a lecturer position at UNSW Canberra starting in 2018, where he was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2022. His research interests encompass coastal science, examining late Quaternary to present-day processes, and he conducts fieldwork across various Australian coastal regions. His overarching theme involves applying knowledge of sandy shoreline behavior for coastal management in light of future environmental pressures. Dr. Oliver has co-authored numerous publications that contributed to an extensive database of OSL ages, enhancing understanding of coastal sediment deposition timings and landform age.
