Lynda is a Quaternary geomorphologist, with principal emphasis in fluvial and pro-glacial sequences. Her doctoral research was focused on northern England, and the River Tyne sequences that developed post-glacially. She is interested in Quaternary environmental change and fluvial histories, including geoarchaeology, relict glacial environments, and flood risk and hazards. In addition, Lynda has research interests in the communication around climate change and cultural heritage and climate risks, geographies of education, inclusion and accessibility in geosciences, and the use of virtual technologies to enhance learning.
Lynda has held NERC-funded grants (PI and co-I) (CULTIVATE project More Inclusive Fieldwork ClicHer). She has also been awarded funding from the British Council, the Learned Society of Wales, the Royal Geographical Society, and the Higher Education Academy.
She is the Degree Programme Director for the Geography programmes at Bangor. Lynda is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). She is the Chair of the RGS-IBG Geography and Education Research Group (GeogEd). In 2021, she co-founded the TeaS (teaching and scholarship) collective.
Lynda has studied and worked in a number of UK Universities. She began her career at Northumbria University (BSc.), went on to Durham University (MSc.) and completed her Ph.D. at the University of Hull. She worked in industry prior to her undergraduate degree and following her Masters' degree. She worked as a Junior Research Associate in the early 2000s on a number of Aggregate Levy Funded projects. She was a post-doc at the University of Liverpool.
