About
Dr Christopher Saville serves as an Assistant Professor (Teaching Fellow) in the Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University, where he investigates the complex interactions between tectonics, climate, and geomorphology with emphasis on orogenic plateaux including the Turkish-Iranian and Tibetan plateaux.
His research spans Fluvial geomorphology, Tectonic geomorphology, GIS, and Sedimentary petrography, focusing on how fluvial systems evolve across tectonic and climatic boundaries through field-based analysis and geochronological techniques.
