Stefan Wastegård is Professor of Quaternary Geology with a specialisation in Quaternary Stratigraphy at Stockholm University's Department of Physical Geography, where he actively teaches bachelor's and master's courses. He leads the research group SUQuaTeSt (Stockholm University Quaternary Tephra Studies), focusing on volcanic ash layers as geochronological tools for correlating Late Quaternary climate records across marine, ice-core, and terrestrial archives in Scandinavia, the Azores, Patagonia, and the North Atlantic region. Wastegård's research centers on resolving uncertainties in Late Quaternary chronologies, particularly addressing radio-carbon dating limitations (radiocarbon plateaux, reservoir effects) and the scarcity of dating methods for periods before 40 ka BP. His work utilizes diverse climatic archives to examine climate synchrony across the North Atlantic, with emphasis on tephrochronology for identifying isochrons in peat bogs, lake sediments, and marine cores. Key interests include Younger Dryas dynamics, Holocene climate events, and volcanic ash dispersal mechanisms. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a sustained effort to expand tephrochronological frameworks geographically and temporally. Major contributions include the first geochemical confirmation of Laacher See Tephra in southern Sweden, extension of Azores tephra dispersal to Ireland, and identification of cryptotephras from moderate Icelandic eruptions in Finland. His studies consistently address methodological challenges while establishing new chronological markers for climate events like the 4.2 ka BP anomaly and Younger Dryas ice-sheet behavior. No scientific awards, prizes, or fellowships are documented in the provided texts. Wastegård has served as main supervisor for seven PhD students: Hans Johansson, Ewa Lind, Carl Lilja, Sofia Andersson, Anders Borgmark, Simon Larsson, and Christos Katrantsiotis. His current research project "Precise linking of late Quaternary palaeoclimate records in the North Atlantic region" compares climate signals across high-resolution archives to understand rapid climate transitions. He has secured funding for numerous completed projects including Holocene tephrochronology for the Faroe Islands and cryptotephra studies in Patagonia. As head of SUQuaTeSt, he directs Stockholm University's Quaternary Tephra Studies group which has pioneered tephrochronological applications in Scandinavia for decades. The team specializes in extracting and analyzing both visible and cryptotephra layers from organic-rich sediments using electron probe microanalysis, collaborating internationally on projects like PASADO in Patagonia and contributing to frameworks such as INTIMATE for glacial-interglacial transitions.

Michael Orton serves as Senior Research Fellow and Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick's Institute for Employment Research (IER), where he has been based since 2002. His professional trajectory uniquely combines over 15 years of frontline experience in poverty-related roles—including Citizens Advice Bureau management, local government anti-poverty policy work, and ombudsman investigations in both UK and Australia—with rigorous academic scholarship. Orton's institutional affiliation remains firmly with Warwick's IER, a research center operating across traditional school boundaries within the Faculty of Social Sciences. Orton's research program innovates through dual pathways: first, developing participatory, consensus-driven social security reform via initiatives like the Commission on Social Security project that produced the influential blueprint 'The Plan'; second, advancing strategic communications frameworks to reshape public narratives about welfare systems. His work spans social security policy, poverty dynamics, active labour market interventions, and Sen's Capabilities Approach, consistently bridging theoretical rigor with actionable policy design. This interdisciplinary focus connects social policy, political economy, and communications scholarship. Analysis of Orton's 15 most recent publications reveals intensifying focus on pandemic-era welfare challenges, with 2020-2023 works emphasizing crisis-responsive policy design, participatory methodology adaptation, and narrative interventions to counter welfare stigma. His research consistently employs co-creation frameworks involving 'experts by experience', moving beyond traditional academic analysis to generate implementable policy architectures. The recurring integration of capabilities theory provides an ethical foundation assessing policies by their impact on human freedom rather than purely economic metrics. Orton maintains robust research funding streams, currently leading the Joseph Rowntree Foundation's 2024 project on pro-social security communications infrastructure. His grant portfolio demonstrates exceptional consistency, spanning EU Framework programmes, UK Research Councils, major foundations (Joseph Rowntree, Trust for London), and government departments. While specific student supervision details aren't publicized, his project leadership—particularly the multi-year Commission on Social Security involving early-career researchers—suggests active mentorship within collaborative research environments. His policy impact extends beyond academia through parliamentary testimony, media engagement, and direct adoption of research outputs by third-sector advocacy groups.
