Stephen Lokier

Stephen Lokier is a Senior Lecturer in Applied Sedimentology and GeoEnergy at the College of Science and Engineering, University of Derby. His research focuses on marine carbonate sedimentation, sediment dynamics in coastal environments, and the geological evolution of reef systems.

Research interests include sediment gravity flows, carbonate ramp models, microbial mat interactions, and paleoenvironmental reconstruction using sedimentological proxies. Recent work emphasizes Abu Dhabi lagoon dynamics and Devonian reef architecture.

His articles explore sediment transport efficiency, microborings in marine ooids, volcanic influences on carbonate settings, and geochemical archives in crystal habits. Methodological innovations include webinars for student geoscience engagement.
