Stephen Kershaw is a Lecturer in Earth and Environmental Sciences at Brunel University's Institute for the Environment. His research spans Quaternary climate change, Palaeozoic sediments, and mass extinction events, with a focus on geohazards including coastal geomorphology, sea-level change, and tectonic instability.
- Collaborative projects in western Crete (with Prof Filippos Vallianatos and Dr Pantelis Soupios)
- Modern flooding and landslide studies in northern Mexico (with University of Juárez)
- Engineering challenges of dams on unstable rock in Iraq (with Brunel's School of Engineering and Design)
- Permian-Triassic boundary research in South China, Hungary, and Turkey
- Historical studies of fossil reef systems across Australia, Canada, China, and Europe
His 15 most recent publications (2006-2009) reveal consistent focus on microbialite reefs, Permian-Triassic boundary dynamics, Silurian carbonate systems, and coastal tectonics in the Mediterranean and South China Sea. Key methodologies include facies analysis, carbon isotope stratigraphy, and geophysical modeling of uplift patterns.
Professional affiliations include being a Chartered Geologist of the Geological Society of London since 1992. Current research students in Crete and Mexico, with prior supervision of two completed PhD projects in Greece and China.
