Personal profile
Research interests
Andrew is interested in patterns that emerge from geophysical fluids. His main area of interest is typically called 'Physical Geography' or 'Process Geomorphology'. Dr. Gunn studies how planetary surfaces, particularly those made of sediment, coevolve with the flow of the atmosphere or liquids (oceans, lakes, rivers), and how external perturbations (e.g. climate change) may influence that coevolution. He uses a blend of research methods to answer these questions: field work, remote sensing, experiments, simulations and theory. Andrew researches Earth and other bodies in the Solar System, like Mars, Titan, Pluto and Venus.
Supervision interests
Dr. Gunn is always interested in hearing from potential Honours and PhD students: please email him at [email protected].
