- Research Interests: Geomorphology, Quaternary Science, Climate Extremes, Environmental Management, Hydrology, and Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction.
Recent articles highlight his work on Australian arid zone hydrology, climate-vegetation interactions, and lacustrine paleoenvironments. Cohen’s grants include tracking flooding patterns and aridification in Australian deserts (ARC Discovery, 2025–2029) and environmental resilience studies. He supervises PhD/MPhil students on topics like megadune evolution and paleofire records. Leadership roles include President of the Australian and New Zealand Geomorphology Group and roles in CABAH and the Optical Dating Facility.
Awards include the ARC Future Fellowship (2018–2022). His research emphasizes multidisciplinary approaches, with global media coverage of findings on climate impacts and human adaptation in arid regions.
