Biography

Devin Harrison is a Marine Geoscientist at Kelpie Geoscience, adjunct to the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre. 

His research utilizes high-resolution topographic models of the seafloor and complimentary geophysical and geospatial datasets to understand the geomorphic evolution and process landform relationship of the deep sea and the continental shelves. Furthermore, Devin has a wealth of expertise in geophysical soundings of terrestrial systems, including: glacial outwash systems and ice-marginal environments, peatland environments, and fluvial landscapes.

Devin earned his PhD at Newcastle University, United Kingdom. His PhD research focused on the utilization of geophysical techniques (e.g. ground-penetrating radar) to characterize the evolution of terrestrial glacial ice-margins and outwash plains in southeast Iceland. During his PhD Devin published a number of papers on glacial outburst floods and their geomorphic impact, and the long-term evolution of glacial forelands prone to repeat high-magnitude outburst floods.

Currently, Devin is working on the Inkfish open ocean project as a geoscientist with the aim to understand deep sea geomorphic processes, and characterise the spatial complexity and variability of the seafloor for habitat classification. Devin’s ongoing research interests include glacial geomorphology, the geomorphology of the deep sea, landform and landscape evolution, submarine landslides, peatland environments, and glaciofluvial sedimentology.
