Steven Longmore

Professor Steven Longmore is a faculty member at the Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI), Liverpool John Moores University, where he leads the Astro-Ecology group. His research bridges astrophysics and ecological applications.

• Current affiliation: Liverpool John Moores University
• Academic rank: Professor
• Research focus: Star formation, galactic evolution, and ecological technology

His astrophysical research explores cosmic gas cloud dynamics, star system formation, and galactic evolution. He innovatively applies astronomical techniques to conservation challenges like endangered species protection, search-and-rescue optimization, and peat fire mitigation.

Recent publications highlight his leadership in Central Molecular Zone studies using ALMA and JCMT surveys, alongside AI-driven ecological monitoring systems. Key themes include magnetic field alignment, spiral arm effects on star formation, and drone-based thermal imaging for fire detection.

The Astro-Ecology group under his leadership demonstrates interdisciplinary approaches to sustainable development goals (Life on Land, Climate Action, Affordable Energy). Collaborations span institutions like Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and European Southern Observatory.
