D. Alexander, San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Firenze, Italy
David Alexander has studied tectonic geomorphology in the Italian Apennines and Peruvian Cordillera
Oriental. He developed methodologies for field surveys of landslide risk. In the 1980s he devised the equivalent of the Mercalli scale
for landslide damage to buildings and settlements. In addition, he has published papers on the pre-Huttonian history of geomorphology
and analyses of the work of Dante and Leonardo da Vinci.
G. Bocco, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico
Gerardo Bocco is a geographer by UNAM, Master of Science (Applied Geomorphology) by ITC- Enschede, The
Netherlands, 1986; PhD Physical Geography, University of Amsterdam, 1990. Dissertation (promotors were Prof Verstappen and Jungerius)
dealt with remote sensing and GIS as applied to gully erosion modeling in Central Mexico. Main research focuses on geomorphology
and natural resource management in Mexican rural communities. He is a senior researcher at UNAM, where he chairs the Centro de Investigaciones
en Geografia Ambiental (Centre for Environmental Geography) in the Morelia Campus.
M. Daniels, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, USA
Dr. Daniels areas of expertise includes fluvial geomorphology, paleohydrology, late Quaternary environmental
change, alluvial stratigraphy, floodplain pedogenesis, and geoarchaeology.
J. Hooke, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK
Janet Hooke is a graduate of Bristol University in Geographical Science and obtained her PhD from Exeter
University. Her main research interests are in fluvial geomorphology, desertification, environmental change and environmental management,
with major publications on river channel changes, river meanders, fluvial processes and channel dynamics and work in both humid and semi-arid
environments. She is Professor of Physical Geography at University of Liverpool, UK, and formerly at University of Portsmouth, UK. She
has been Chair of the British Society for Geomorphology (formerly BGRG) and was Coordinator of the EU project, RECONDES, on mitigating
desertification using vegetation. Her present research is focusing on meander dynamics, vegetation-flow interactions, connectivity in
sediment systems, and impacts of flow events and hydrological changes.
J. Kalvoda, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
Jan Kalvoda is expert in the areas of: Dynamic and applied geomorphology, Geomorphological aspects of geodynamics,
Nature of high mountains (Asia, Europe), Landform evolution and processes in the late Cenozoic, Palaeogeography of the Quaternary, Natural
hazards and risks, and Physical geography and Mathematical geography.
O. Korup, Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL, Davos Dorf, Switzerland
Oliver Korup works on the coupling of geomorphic processes in active mountain belts. He has worked on the
impacts of large bedrock landslides on river systems, the formation and failure of natural dams, and the resulting dynamics in the sediment
cascade. Oliver is also interested in quantifying rates of erosion and deposition, terrain analysis, tectonic geomorphology, and natural
hazards assessment in areas of high topographic relief.
D. Sack, Ohio University, Athens, OH, USA
Dorothy Sack is expert is the following areas: Arid lands geomorphology, Paleolakes, Coastal geomorphology,
History of geomorphology, and Geomorphic effects of off-road vehicles.
