Jenni Robertson

Jenni Robertson holds a Lecturer position in the School of Social Sciences at Birkbeck, University of London, alongside roles as a Postdoctoral Researcher and Associate Lecturer in the School of Natural Sciences. Her research focuses on active fault dynamics, Quaternary science, and seismic hazard assessment, particularly in Greece and Italy. She is currently investigating fault interactions and slip-rate variability through cosmogenic 36Cl dating and stress modeling, supported by a NERC Standard Grant collaborating with Professor Gerald Roberts.

Robertson earned a PhD in earthquake geology (2021) and BSc in Earth Sciences (2014), both from Birkbeck, University of London. Her work includes analyzing deformed palaeoshorelines, fault slip histories, and the role of stress transfer between faults. Teaching responsibilities span structural geology, climate change, and environmental policy, reflecting her interdisciplinary expertise.

Her publications emphasize fault-scarp dating, earthquake clustering, and uplift mechanisms, with contributions to journals like Journal of Structural Geology and Tectonics. While no awards are explicitly mentioned, her research has societal implications for seismic hazard mitigation in urban areas.
